window tinting
well, i bought some X-19 smoke to tint my windows, and its pretty crappy. i keep gettin lots of air bubbles and it doesnt evenly coat the parts. does anyone know how to get better results with the x-19, or could i just use a roll of window tint that can be purchased at my local walmart?

use the rolls of tints you can get at Auto Zone or an auto shop I dont know if you wanna risk it with walmart stuff. But if you can find another brand at walmart, then its fine. Get decent stuff because one roll will make a few cars.

Re: window tinting
what do you use to apply x-19 ? if you dilute it with alcohol and spray it it should be ok

Man I tried that and it doesn't want to stick!! Is there anythin special I need to do?
I know how it works and have used it on a 1:1 and I have used some frosted stuff on my garage windows but it just wouldn't stick for me, and yes its a good brand. Any suggestions?

I bought some at my local hardware store. They had a bunch of different shades and sell it by the foot so I got out of there cheap!
Unless you want a 'blacked out' interior use the lightest shade you can find.

Local hardware store 'A&A trading post'. You might try one of the monster home improvement warehouses ...I think it was about 1.50 a linear foot. You might ask at a local shop that tints cars for some scrap...

Re: window tinting
I did that last week and guy goes, you wanna tint your turn signals or something and laffed, I explained to him what I needed it for, and he goes, unless you'd put up signs that show our name at a model contest, you know just bring their signs, not the car, I couldn't have any.
