91LuminaEuro Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 (edited) So any of you guys that have worked with Tint before. I bought tint for my headlights, its in multiple pieces, because my monte's headlights are contoured. I want to use an application fluid to ensure i get it on smooth and perfect. For my vinyl decals, i usually just use a spray bottle with water, and a few drops of dish soap and it works great. Would this work the same for tint? I know they sell fluid, but its not really worth it just for my headlights. Thanks! Edited January 7, 2011 by 91LuminaEuro i'm terrible with spelling. Quote
91LuminaEuro Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 I was fairly certain it would work, but since i have zero experience with tint, i wanted to ask. Quote
Twenty Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 I use plain water and it works for me. Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Meh hated doing it myself. Have a guy who hooks me up. Quote
AL Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 How dark are you going?... I know the factory lights aren't the greatest so restricting the light might not be the best idea Quote
91LuminaEuro Posted January 7, 2011 Author Report Posted January 7, 2011 Not very, it was called "light smoke" when i bought it, it said that it was supposed to change the color of the lens, w/o messing with light output. So for the price i paid, i figured i would give it a shot. Worst comes to worst, i just peel it off if i hate it. Quote
White93z34 Posted January 7, 2011 Report Posted January 7, 2011 Also a heat gun or hairdrier can help with shrinking it to fit the contours Quote
AL Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Ah ok they should be ok then... Make sure you post how easy it was to install Quote
91LuminaEuro Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 I will, i've actually decided to wait until spring to install the tint. Simply because im going to install it, see how she drives at night, and then if its shitty remove it right away. I know i should have no problem removing the tint whenever, but the shorter its on there, the easier it will be. Quote
