Window Tint Melbourne?

Postby DTGriff » Wed Nov 07, 2012 3:36 pm

Hi Guys of Victoria!

Any know of anywhere for window tinting which is good but isn't too pricey?

I've had quotes of $350 upwards for my Sportback and I feel that's too expensive!

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hey Andrew,

Yea I've had mine done now and couldn't be happier.

I went with 35% Rockstar tint, so it's 35% but it's really black.

Check out my garage, I think it looks awesome! :)

Yea, apparently 35% is the maximum legal tint :)

Haha thanks, I'm really happy with it!

So much cooler in the summer sun!

Tint guy warned me of reflective tints, apparently their illegal no matter what %!

Yea just make sure you go to a reputable company.

Yea apparently bubbling for a few days is normal because you have to wait for the heat to evaporate the moisture beneath the film.

I was told to park it in the sun and at the time we have like a week of seriously hot weather... :D lol

Tint Professor is ok, just make sure you check all your interior plastics when you get the car back for any damage and also the glue liquid spilled on the car seats and trims. They do it cheap so expect cheap labour.

I've had previous car tinted there as well, lasted 6+ years under hot Melb weather, did notice some of the tint starting to bubble just before I sold the car but the buyer didn't bother with having the tint replaced (no time). I think TP do not provide 'lifetime warranty' on their tints any more.

Any other good tinting places to take the car to these days? I need to tint mine again :)
