Default window tint

I have made a recent trip to the nearby wal mart and i have noticed the do it yourself window tint.... i have been told its really hard and all that but its really expensive to have done. i spent my 15 dollars for the kit and tint and tryed it out and it was much simpler then i thought i only did my back windows for now because i wanted to hide my gun rack and tools but soon i will do the other windows. i reccomend trying it yourself if you want tint and dont wanna spend a ton of money....

Yeaa its not to bad when ya start. You gotta have patients for it. And the back windows are easy.. The pain int he *** ones are the fronts cuz ya gotta get the tint below the bottom of the veiwable part of your window.. I got my passenger side done, came out great.. For some reason the damn drivers side just didnt wana tint. I creased it 3 times and said screw it ill do it later.. Havn't gotten around to it yet though lol. Maybe i'll try again this week haha. Its still a bit tricky though, and i've done my old blazer twice, my old jimmy, trailblazer, a few friends cars and my dads last car when i was in fla, so even with a few times done, still a pain the *** haha..

Good Luck!!

Doing the tint on these trucks is really easy. If you want do a search on eBay for 94 Ram Tint and you will find a place that sells the laser cut tint. It is the good quality tint that the professional shops use. This stuff will not turn purple like the stuff you buy in the store will. When you get your bottle of water to spray the glass add a little bit of liquid hand soap or dish washing detergent. The soap allows you the ability to slide the tint around on the glass for placement. Then you squigee out the water and it will stay in place.

I use a credit card since it is small and somewhat flexible.

I used to do tint for a shop back in high school. We always removed the door panels when doing side windows. It's much less hassle to undo a few screws than to fight the tint. Pre-cut tint was never a good thing though because it limits you. If you just get the sheets and cut the pieces about 1/2 inch larger than you need, you get the tint down a lot quicker (much cleaner) and then you just trim it up with a razor. Piece of cake!

Tint is really easy to do in certain vehicles like trucks with nice FLAT back windows.
Doing the back wondow of a Celica or some **** with no room to move around in the back seat takes a bit more patience

Where'd you get a gunrack for your truck? or is it custom built?

I tried tinting on my old ram and it was a pita. I couldn't get it cut perfect and it seems like the corners would never stick correctly. It looked okay after it was done but you could tell I did it myself.
