    Default Tint films

    I'll keep this short and to the point.
    Completed first tint ever, made a couple mistakes and now I'm ready re-do the tints for a more professional look...

    My question is: what tint film makers have the Superior films?

    Also any wisdom, tips, or tricks on tinting would be much appreciated

    I used some really fine steel wool to sand them, then just scrub the hell out of that area with soap-water to make sure no residue is left over...

    I'm assuming you put it on using the soap/water with squeegee method (never can tell who tries to line it up first without it)? Some tinters leave the dot matrix alone, not sure what the others done. I haven't had too many issues with mine.

    It's an enamel which has been baked into the glass. By sanding you're mainly smoothing the raised edge's of the frit in order to get the tint to stick without bubbles...
