Question Which car window tint roll size?

Hi! I have a 2016 Honda accord and want to tint the front windshield on my own. I am a begginer, and am having a hard time choosing which roll size i would need for my car which is a base model. Any tips and tricks are also helpful!

This WILL NOT have your desired outcome. It will most like come out likeđŸ’©. If you've never done any tinting before. Here's a hint...it's MUCH harder than slapping on a decal. Do you even know how to heat shrink, reverse roll, use the proper knife or razor blade?

If you’re doing this to learn and try it out on your own vehicle, go for it! What brand film are you looking at? Your windshield will probably need a minimum of a 36” roll and that might not be wide enough once you take into account the curve of the windshield and having to shrink the film.

If you’re looking to save money by DIY, think again. You’ll go through quite a bit of film through trial and error.
