Instructions

1

To prepare for self-tintingstart by choosing and purchasing a tint film. This film is made of polystyrene in various shades with a metallized coating. Thus, the color of the glasses will be determined by the choice of the color of the film. The film is sold in rolls in stores specializing in the sale of automotive cosmetics and materials for repair and maintenance of cars. Specify the length and width of the film from the seller. Typically, for toning the front windows and passenger windows in the back seat, one roll is enough.

2

A spatula will be needed to smooth the film andremoval of air bubbles during gluing. It should be soft enough to avoid scratching. If the shape of the windows is curved, then an additional building hair dryer is required. A knife can be taken as an ordinary clerical. Such knives are quite sharp, and this is exactly what is required of it.

3

First of all, wash the car thoroughly andespecially the glass so that it is guaranteed to remove traces of oil or grease from their surface. Use special tools for washing the glass. Take care that in the room where you will be tinting the glass, it was clean, not dusty and light enough. It is not recommended to stick the film on the street.

4

Remove the glass and remove the seals. This will help make the toning neater and increase the life of the film. If it is difficult to dismantle the glass, try to cut out the films as precisely as possible so as not to leave thin strips of unshielded glass near the seals. Take tracing paper or heavy paper. When applying paper to the glass, cut it out into the shape of the glass. Thus, at your disposal will be templates, according to which it will be easy to cut out the film.

5

Apply diluted liquid soap withSprayer on the clean glass from the side of the car. Paste the film with the dark side down, gradually removing it from the base. Smooth the spatula from the middle to the edge, removing possible air bubbles. Try to smoothen more carefully on the edges, tk. The risks of cracking and peeling are subsequently higher in these places. Remove the remnants of soapy solution with prepared napkins or rags.

6

If the glass is curved, then your task is toIn order to take into account the shape of the bend during the manufacturing phase of the template. Prepare a paper template with a margin of 10 mm. When the film is cut, attach it to the soap-treated glass and gradually stretch it along the curved profile of the glass. Use a building hair dryer for easy heating of the film in the places of the greatest curvature of the glass, the removal of air bubbles and soap residue. Cut off excess film with a knife. For best adhesion of the film, do not lower the glass for a week from the date of application.

Toning requirements

Officially today it is allowed to tint the rearcar glass, two side; It is also possible to stick a strip on the windshield, provided that its width does not exceed 14 cm. In principle, it is possible to cover all the glasses if their light transmittance exceeds 70%. But if you use toning with such a value in the cabin, it will not become darker. It is also worth noting that most manufacturers produce machines that already have a tint of 85-90%, so sticking the most transparent film on such glass can reduce the light transmittance below 70%. Even a new auto glass without toning does not let out 100% of the light; the usual value is 95%. That is, if a new film is glued to a new film that passes 70% of the light, the final value can be calculated by multiplying 0.95 (new glass) by 0.7 (film), resulting in 0.665, which is 66.5%. Such a film will no longer meet the requirements of the traffic police. In Russia, the tinting of glasses with film (or otherwise) with a light transmitting capacity of less than 70% is allowed only for special purpose vehicles.

Responsibility for violation of the requirements for toning

On the driver who violated the requirements for toningglasses are imposed a fine of 500 rubles, and in some cases the numbers are removed. It does not matter, one glass did not comply with the rules or several. Also, the punishment does not depend on how much the toning does not comply with the rules; it does not matter how much it does not reach the standards - 5% or 20%. The inspector has the right to take the state number if the driver can not (or does not want) to remove the tint right on the spot. In this case, the offender has one day to eliminate the "malfunction", while it is allowed to follow the car only to the place where the toning is eliminated; for example, to the nearest car service center. Next, you will have to appear for the numbers yourself, or you will be sent to them by mail, which in any case leads to a loss of time. If you remove the tint on the spot after the fine is already written out, the registration marks will remain on the car, and you will only have to pay a fine. The latter will be imposed in any case, even if it is possible to remove the tint film before the punishment is formalized. Recently used removable tinting, which allows you to quickly return to the windows of the car the necessary light transmitting capacity. However, the use of such a "novelty" to escape punishment will not help.

1

Hardworking motorists who preferindependently make changes in the design of your own vehicle, it does not hurt to learn some professional secrets of sticking a film on the side windows of cars.

2

To ensure the quality of self-gluing of glassesnot inferior to professional pasting, glass tinting windows are dismantled from the car and delivered to the bathroom of your home, where a hot water tap opens when the door is closed (water vapor will clear the surrounding atmosphere from flying dust).

3

On a drawing board or other level surface offilms are cut out patterns enlarged along the perimeter by 5 cm in comparison with the size of the glass. The film is cut with a blade, a scalpel or a sharp knife.

4

Postponing the ready-made patterns, the bath is necessaryprepare an aqueous solution with a small amount of shampoo and put a drawing board on top of it, which it is desirable to cover with a bikini blanket to avoid scratches on the reverse surface of the glued glass during operation.

5

After finishing the preparations, they start washing the panesand, having laid a clean glass on the board, a protective layer is separated from the pattern intended for gluing. During the current process, the film and the surface of the glass are intensely sprayed with water from the spray gun.

6

Applying the film to the inner surface of the glass,it is smoothed out, and air bubbles and water are removed from under it. To carry out this process better with the help of a small wooden ruler, wrapped in a cloth.

7

After 6-8 hours, when the pasted glasscompletely dry, along its perimeter, having retreated from the edge about five millimeters, the excess of the tint film is cut off, after which the glasses are placed in their places in the car.
