tintin windows

Most DIY jobs end up with lots of air bubbles which is really bad form.I'd pay a bit more and have it done properly.

Dark tints. As above, DIY normally looks naff (IMO).

I watched the specialist who tinted our conservatory roof a while back; looked like a very tough job. Lots of water in a pressurised mister, a heat gun and assorted silicone scrapers to get all the fine bubbles out. Buy cheap - pay twice.

I had all the windows on my Fabia done for £140. He was a proper tinting bloke the catch was that I helped him. It was difficult to start but pretty easy going once I'd watched him do it.

I did the windows on the back of my mums boyfriends van, they came out really good! Couple of bubbles BUT :-

Buy a decent tinting film!

Do it where there is no wind or dust / dirt!

Keep all your tools local including a sharp blade!

Then stand back and admire your work. A lot easier said than done though.

The bloke that done mine made it look easy, I suspect it isnt though, not if putting my screen protector on my phone is anything to go by lol. I paid £100 for the back 3 so if I'd bought decent tint stuff that'd would have been £30? £50? then a good 3 or 4 hours work to get a reasonable job. I might as well go to work for the 3 - 4 hours and earn the cash to pay someone who knows what they are doing  

Yea i no wotcha mean danham its £150 at a local place that are really good but i can buy the tints for £50... think i mite just be goin throu a diy stage wer i want todo everything myself ??

That's a really good price! The place closest to me wanted £180 for the rear '5'.

The bloke I went to even allowed me and helped me fix my deadlocked door too.

180 sounds steep. Where are you based? I had mine done professionally for 100. He did start at 120 but a bit of haggling never hurt anyone

£180 for all four sounds good (for round here at least). I got a deal cos I got 2 of us to get them done, I think it'd be nearer £120 normally. 

Oh is it front and back ? I was counting the five as back and quarter lights with rears drop glass. My bad :/ lol

Oh I might have read it wrong actually lol. 

Lol one of those things. backs round my way is around 120 though. Its like fabia mania around halifax way lol.
