Window tinting can help to create a more comfortable atmosphere within your vehicle, especially in hot weather. Here is a step by step guide to help you tint your own car windows.
Step 1. You will need the following item to install window tint to your car windows. This includes a roll of window tint that can be purchased at a local automotive store, a spray bottle filled with soap water, scissors, a knife or sharp cutting tool, a small squeegee, a straight pin and craft paper or cardboard that is large enough to cut out full size models of your windows. Some special rules you should remember before starting your project is to never tint your front window and do not tint your window darker than what is allowed by law in your area.
Step 2. You will need to measure your windows that you want to tint to get an accurate amount of tinting to complete this task. Window tints are available in a large variety of shades and colors. You will need to purchase enough to cover your windows plus a little extra incase of mistakes.
Step 3. Find a location in which you can do your window tinting project where there is no wind or too much sunshine. An ideal place is a garage or covered carport area.
Step 4. Use your craft paper or cardboard to design a life sized version of the window you want to tint. In most cases you can use the same template that you create for both the driver’s and passenger side windows. But make sure that when you do this, you measure the template to the window to guarantee this.
Step 5. Using your template, carve out the size window tint you will need. Work on just one window at a time. Spray the window completely with the soap water solution. Scatter some of the soap water on the tinting film also.
Step 6. Place the tinting film against the window and slide into place. The soap water solution should allow you to do this easily.
Step 7. When your window tint film is in the desired place, gently use your squeegee to remove the air bubbles that may form. Begin this process in the middle of the window and work outward. Repeat this process until all of the air bubbles are out. If there are tiny air bubbles that you an not get out with the squeegee, use the straight pin to carefully work them out. Do not rip the film as it dries. It will destroy the tinting film and you will have to start over. Do not roll down the window until the tinting is completely dry.
Before you start tinting the windows in your car, make sure you check your area's laws on windowing tinting. You don't want to have to spend time and money tinting your windows only to end up receiving a traffic ticket fine, and having to remove your tinting. The best option of course would be to have a professional window tinter tint the windows of your car. Step 1: Clean your windows. Clean them really good, otherwise you may end up with imperfections showing on your tinting from dust particles. Use a razor blade to scrap off particles from windows. Use ammonia free window cleaner to clean your windows. Step 2: Remove anything that will get in your way for the tinting. This will include removing the third brake light from your rear window. You might have to remove the door panels to gain better access to your windows. Step 3: Create your patterns. You don't want to press your tinting sheets along the windows to cut out patterns. It is much easier to create your patterns using freezer paper. Put the freezer paper against your glass and create your pattern on the freezer paper. Add 1” to your pattern. Step 4: With your patterns created from the freezer paper, cut out pieces of window tinting using the patterns you have just created. Step 5: As you apply your tinting sheets to your windows, you will need to apply soapy water to the windows for the tinting. Apply masking tape to the felt at the bottom of your windows to keep fuzz from collecting on your tinting sheet, and windows. Keep the windows clean. Step 6: Roll your window down until it is about 2” from the bottom. Apply your tinting, use the squeegee to press out water and bubbles. Squeegee from the middle outwards. Your tinting is now anchored to your window. Step 7: Roll your window up and continue to apply your tinting sheet. Using your squeegee to apply the tinting to the window. Go slow, take your time. Go too fast and your tinting might end up being misaligned, wrinkled, or air bubbles trapped underneath it. Step 8: Use a hard card that comes with your tinting kit to tuck the tinting sheets along the edges. Keep the tinting sheet damp with soapy water while working with it. Step 9: Repeat steps 3 through 8 again for your other side windows. Step 10: Since the rear window is curved, you may have to apply your tinting sheet in 2 or 3 sections at a time. You can hide the seams of your sections by lining them up with the defroster element lines on your rear window. Apply the tinting as you did with the other windows. Take your time. Step 11: Allow some time before installing your door panels and removing your masking tape. If you start to see sections of your tinting starting to pop up, wet the tinting with your soapy water and squeegee out the air bubbles or use the hard card when needed. You might have to do this a couple times for each window to ensure the tinting sheet doesn't have any more air bubbles. Step 12: Now that you have applied your tinting, allow time for it to dry before removing your masking tape, and installing your panels. Keep your windows rolled up to keep the tinting in place while it dries. You have now tinted your windows. Everything looks great, your windows provide shading from the hot sun, and privacy. Allow time for the tinting to cure, don't touch them for at least 5 days, and don't clean them for at least a month. Use only a soft cloth or sponge to clean your windows, otherwise you might scratch the tinting if you use items such as newspaper, or hard cloth. Do not use any window cleaning products that contain ammonia to clean your windows. The ammonia will react to the tinting and cause blotching.
