Tint my Brumby!?

Post by Brumby91 » Wed Oct 19, 2011 10:51 pm

Any recommendations on where to go for window tinting in Adelaide ?
And what do you think it will set me back

Look online to see if tint shops/chains are having sales in your area.

I got "Octane" from Tint-a-Car which is supposed to be a premium tint,
for what's probably a non-premium price: $350 for all windows (7) and the windscreen tint-strip on my L series wagon.

I did mine myself with film from Supercheap.

One roll for $35.00?? did all three windows and a windsceen strip as well. Get dark Limo tint.

Not hard to do just be sure the glass is clean. Use a razor blade to clean glass and cut film larger than glass then trim off excess. Be sure you use soapy water to put on with about 150mm rubber squeegy and keep moist.

If you go commercial it'll probably cost about $200. I wouldn't do my other cars as they are the family cars which I get done at Tint-a-Car for around $350.

soapy water is just a bit of dish wash liquid and water in a spray bottle. I used to make up cardboard templates to make things a bit tidier. Make to suit one side, flip to do other side of car. Use the soapy water for between glass and tint film and on it as you squegee the bubbles out.
