help on window tinting

i am doing a tint job for someone. the person doesn't want to spend too much, so i would preferably like to use something off-the-shelf. also, is the axius Professional Adhesive Tint Film any good?

I just got my windows professionally tinted yesterday. They used tint called Johnson Film. I have done my research on this tint and it is a good quality film. Some other quality ones include Lumar, 3M. I would definitely stay away from the cheap stuff at auto parts stores, they have a tendency to turn purple after only a couple of months.

agreed... both Johnson Film and Llumar Tint are good... go with something that it a bit metallic -- will help keep the tint from turning purple so quickly.

Wink Tint . . .

Look up the sites on the web. You might be able to get it directly from the company. If not, you can probably get it from a shop. Another company to look at is SunGard. They make excellent tint. I have SunGard on my car, and it is very nice.

Best regards
