How much money you charged for this car

I have a c6 z06 and some places wouldn’t even do it lol I found a place but still took them hours

I just watched the video from 2010 of you doing this vet as well, so, yeah, it's been 11 years since this video, Matt. I think you're right, though, it's easy to psych yourself out on something. I want to say you done one recently on a live stream, but I've watched so many of your old live streams, I lose track of which was when! lol I wish I had an old windshield to practice on. I'm thinking about going to a salvage yard here in Oklahoma and seeing if I can find a windshield that matches my truck, so I can put it on a stand inside and practice in a controlled environment. I've tinted my back window and door windows, and they turned out real good with the Geoshield Pro Classic film, thanks to what I've learned from watching your videos! I really learned a lot! Thanks, Matt!

I did that on my truck windshield. I messed it up in the wind trying to stretch it out over the windshield, but I just kept going with it. It gave me the opportunity to practice shrinking a windshield. It didn't seem like it wanted to shrink and the wind kept catching the corners and pulling it loose, and I finally just tossed it, but it gave me some practice!

Only thing harder than shrinking that back glass is making it look good sticking to the other side. Better be a part duo🤣

It looks to me like you're actually trying to make it like it's hard for you, though you make it look way easier than it's been for most of us hahahaha. You're the best.

look, what a beautiful job, congratulations

I tinted my c5 few years back. Was a fun job. Had more issues with door Windows then the rear. I removed the door Windows, then it went smoothly.

I remember before dry shrinking I used to invisiseam these cars

I started shrinking tint in 1983, I think it was, while removing tint. While doing windows like this I would have soaped the glass first. I don't care how experienced a tinter gets to be, this is just an aggravating task.

Took my buddy and his co worker 1 roll of film to tint his C6 back glass...not cheap and will drive you nuts but its worth it in the end and its a learning experience

My favorite part of old corvette I love tint it usually it takes me about half hour to tinted

that was pretty intense. It did look like the driver's side a a bit to go to finish the curve up by the roof though but you done a great job. After watching you do this, I wouldn't try one like this; all the experience you have and you were struggling with shrinking those hard curves, but very well done! I think it would get more views if you tried to rename it though; I think I would name it about techniques on how to avoid overheating and pushing it too soon or something; that seemed to be the biggest thing to deal with, either over heating it or hurrying it and putting creases in it or whatever. Great video, Matt! This video should get a lot more views!!!!!

Those are some fun onesie to tint. I’ve only done three in my career all this year 😂

Hi, i like your work. So in this case, you used the Fusion heat gun with lower heat?

What product do You put under the fılm before shrinking?Thanks

what was different between that heat gun that the previous used ?

Just one look and i know how hard it is to tint that back window.. good job

this looks like a giant pain in the butt, good job getting it done

had to re watch this one. Have a stingray coming in this week.... stressssssss

Is that white outerline put inside or on the outside of windshield?

Lot of pros love that heat gun. Just ordered one cant wait to give it a go. I have problems with my wagner burning film sometimes.

What brand of ceramic do you use?

Hi. Which ciramic excellent for shrink please

Do a camaro curve back window.

Where can I buy that heat gun from ?

What brand of heatgun you using

I REALLY enjoy your videos, and have found them very informative. No idea why they showed up in my KZread recommendations, but I'm glad they did. I do have two questions, after watching you Video on installing the Geoshield Pronano Ceramic 70% on a front window. 1. Do you know of ANYONE in New Mexico that would install this on my Jeep? The windshield is flat, so it shouldn't be that hard to do, however, at $70ish a sheet to try and do this myself, I'm thinking maybe let someone that knows what they are doing give it a try. 2. Or, maybe I should just buy some cheap tint, and use it to learn to do the install? Then when I think I can do it myself move up to the Geosheild? Thanks.

It looks easy, even if it's flat like a jeep windshield, but tinting is not something you pick up in 3 or 4 tries. If you're gonna do it yourself, be prepared to mess up a lot and be okay with a flawed final product.

Hey man, what are you using as the perimeter the white line? do you do that to avoid etching from the blade or just so you dont have to use a light to cut after you shrink. Curious because im starting at a fully retail store and want to do things right instead of the 20 stock units i knock out a day. thanks.

glass aid.. and keep your knife to a 10 degree angle, tilting it higher and higher can and possibly will scratch the glass.

I know some buddies of mine actually take the whole back window off cause they don't want to deal with that shit

You said you wish there was a film you could shrink in any direction.. lucky for you 3M crystalline makes your wish come true lol. Very expensive film though

Could you imagine tinting a 72-73 Buick Riviera boat tail backglass

A New Holland T9 has glass that's curved about a foot each direction over about 60 inches of height and 50 inches of width. It's like tinting half a basketball. That one almost made me quit laying film. You can do it in two seems though at 30 inches from top to bottom and the width of the window. It IS possible, it's just not fun at all.

That rear window is a huge section so why not keep the sheet for a smaller side window and cut the damaged section off the bottom?

What do you recommend to shrink windshields? A blue hard hard or hard felt card?

I def don't understand tint and why you shrink that way... from the outer edges to the center. That's geometrically wrong. I'm in the vinyl graphics biz - wraps, etc. - and with that, one starts from the center and works to the outer perimeter.

@@skywalker859 short version, first off get that tape or whatever he's got on there the fuck off, then use a pen attachment to plot a pattern, liner side out, in the middle of a 40" roll, don't trim it down. Then do your normal H pattern but only on the top, so more of a U pattern but line up your patterns top edge about 2-3“ higher than the matrix. Shrink it out while pulling up fairly hard on the excess film. Shrink it as far as you can without it getting super sketchy. Then do a U pattern on the bottom, scoot your film down and do the same thing. Now move your pattern to the middle of the window, rough cut the bottom but leave it as long as you can so you can pull on it. Do your regular H pattern and finish dry shrinking, wet check shrink it if you need to, throw it on the board and trim it out. Slap it. Also should have mentioned, don't fucking card it down when dry shrinking. Idk why guys do this, who's teaching it, it's ridiculous and unnecessary. Pull your top, keep your fingers verticle, don't over shrink and let them go horizontal. You can card it down if you're wet checking, obviously, but carding down while dry shrinking is amateur hour shit.
