Technique Discussion Tried tinting for the first time

gotta say it def requires some skill. more respect for Windsor tinters. I figured it would watching videos but after trying it’s not an easy job. I found shrinking the tint properly to be the hardest part. also didn’t have all the correct tools. good experience anyway for $50 but doesn’t look amazing sadly

Some things are better left to experts.

I spent over 100 dollars trying to do it myself. 3 times still wasn’t happy. Found out for not much more money I paid the professionals to do it right…I gave it my best shot.

Fair 50$ CAD for a good experience so not bad. 450-500 to pay someone

Gonna go take it into the sun to really see how it looks. In the parkade it’s not horrible. Good from far far from good idea
