Then you will not have to pay for this service in specialized workshops.
Before starting work, you should decide ontint film. This is a very important stage - the future result will depend on the quality of the material. Now the market is filled with various offers from Chinese manufacturers - many prefer this particular product due to its low cost. If doing their own tinting, experts do not recommend buying such a film - the result is often disappointing. It is best to buy a film from American brands. Most often, it is also made in China, but there is quality control - a low-quality product is simply not allowed for sale.
Also, the material should be selected on the basis of legislation. The law clearly states what film bandwidth should be pasted on the glass of the car.
The type of material is determined by its technology.manufacturing. Depending on the technology, a particular film receives certain features, as well as the functions that it can perform. Tint films can be divided into several varieties:
Это еще не все.Films are divided into several types. You can select colored products, athermal, mirror. Athermal films differ in that they do not obscure the car. This is a choice for those who want to protect the elements of the cabin from exposure to sunlight, and glass - from mechanical stress and scratches. Also, products manufactured using this technology have good sound insulation characteristics.
Окрашенная пленка затемняет салон.It is easy to apply, but a serious disadvantage is the deterioration of visibility, especially at night. Mirror film metallized has a special coating. It reliably protects car glass from impacts and other mechanical effects.
Before you start tinting glasswith their own hands, prepare the necessary tools and fixtures. You will need napkins, better paper, forcing - hard and soft, hair dryer, ruler, sharp knife, scraper, spray and sponge.
Стекла тщательно очищают.You can use detergents for cleaning or just soapy water. You can prepare a solution of shampoo. It is important to stir the mixture well. On the surface of the soap solution is applied through the spray.
Tinting with your own hands impliesmaking patterns. First determine the adhesive layer of the film. It can be found on a transparent liner. The pattern is produced strictly on a roll. It is necessary to cut out taking into account 2-4 cm of the film - as a result, the pattern should be larger than the area of the glasses. Then moisten the outer part with the same soap solution and apply a ready-made template to it. The liner should be directed to itself.
The bottom edge on the template must be done so that he went behind the rubber seal - just one centimeter is enough. It is important. Many miss this moment.
Further, using forcing and a knife dovertical cuts on the sides. This is done in such a way that the edges of the template go behind the seals on the sides of the glass. One centimeter is also enough here. Then on the film cut out the contour of the upper part of the glass. In order to get an esthetic appearance as a result of tinting a car with your own hands, the film must go beyond the transparent part of the glass.
When performing work, it is important to observe the utmostaccuracy and caution. Often, when performing this operation with a knife, the seals are damaged, the glass and car paintwork are scratched. The knife itself must be very sharp. Extra pieces of film should be immediately removed.
This operation is similar to the previous one.But here it is important to note that the rear window has a convex surface. The film is cut so that the template is larger than the transparent part of the glass. It is better to ask someone to help.
In the process of creating patterns on the surfacefilms will appear creases. They need to be smoothed with a hair dryer. Smooth from the center. This should be done until it is possible to remove all the folds to one. It is impossible for creases and traces of overheating to form on the surface of the film.
As a result, cut out the film for tinting the reardo-it-yourself glasses so that its size is larger than the transparent part of the glass by a few millimeters. It is better to use a lantern, highlighting the surface from the inside.
Thoroughly clean again before pasting.cover with water and scraper. Do not allow uncleaned areas to remain. After the cleaning is completed, the glass is washed out, carefully wiped using distillation. The edges of the glass wipe with a napkin. It is important not to forget about clean hands.
How to do the tinting on your own?Next you should do the film. It is placed on a glass surface. Then the side window is abundantly moistened with soap and water through a spray bottle. From the finished pattern remove 2/3 of the liner, and the adhesive surface is wetted with a soap solution. Excess liner immediately cut. Then wet the fingers - this is important. They will have to touch the film from the adhesive side.
The film is applied to the glass of the car.At the same time you should try not to touch the seals. Then, making sure that there are no gaps and the pattern is in an even position, squeeze out the soap solution. The film is held with one hand. Water is extruded by distillation. It should be soft. Hard will not work - there is a risk of scratching the film. Water is squeezed from the center to the edges.
After that fix the upper edge.Glass lift and remove the liner from the bottom. The film is immediately moistened with soapy water. Then bend the lower sealing gum, and the film without creases is filled under it. It remains only to expel all the liquid and make sure there are no bubbles.
This operation is tinting cars do it yourselfalmost completely identical to sticking film on the side windows. But still there are differences. In the process of work should be careful to - it is important not to damage the threads of the heating system on the rear window.
The glass is carefully washed and then wiped.Next, apply the soap solution from the spray. With film remove liner. Also moisten the adhesive surface with a solution. In the process of gluing it is important to prevent wrinkles, as well as creases.
When the film is aligned, it is smoothed bydirection from the center to the edges and squeeze out all the liquid. It is better to do this along the threads of the heating system. It is worth using hard distillation. When the sticking is finished, the glass is heated with a hairdryer outside to remove bubbles of water.
Toning with your own hands VAZ includes andsticky windshield. We need to make a pattern and fit the piece to the glass. As for gluing technology, it is no different from working with the rear window.

The easiest option removable tinting your ownhands is the use of a sheet of polyester and film. When there is a sheet, patterns are removed from the glasses. Disassemble the door, perform the dismantling of glass. On the outside it is glued with a protective film layer. Layer down on the surface. Knife cut the film from the bottom, cut out the side contours. Cut off at the top. The result is a pattern that can be used.
Next, the piece is transferred to the paper.Get a tight pattern that is inserted between the seal and the glass. The template should be adjusted to the ideal. Then the piece is removed and the blank is cut out of plastic. The edges of the polyester sheet are treated with sandpaper.
Then it remains only to make the patterns of the film and stick them on the plastic. Need to glue on both sides. On this removable toning is ready. Attach to the glass can, for example, on the tape.
Any film, even the highest quality, will bringIn the life of the driver, not only comfort. There are a number of disadvantages associated with tinting. This is a bad view at night and in bad weather conditions. Therefore, the degree of darkening should be moderate. To improve the view, you can use the brightening mirrors.
