Question on Tint

**jayeina** · July 24th, 2003 07:17 PM

Guys I have a Toyota Hi-ace commuter van na naka:

Solargard Magic Black na tint sa windshield
Solagard Charcoal (Black) sa driver & passengar side sa unahan &
US Gala na Super Black (double coating) sa likod onwards.

Tanong ko lang

1. baduy yung setup na to for my ride? Yun kasi yung suggestion ng tint installer
2. Mas maganda ba kung palitan ko ng Solargard super black yung sa driver & passenger side sa unahan & Solargard Magic Super Black yung windshield para mag match dun sa US Gala na double coat?
3. Hindi ka ba kita sa harapan pag naka Solargard na Magic Super Black ka or mas maganda yung mga Magic Neutral Na tints? Yun kasing Magic Black na nakakabit sa windshield ko ngayon e kita na ako sa loob as compared to the Sungard Magic Neutral na pinatanggal ko dati

Any suggestions?

Tnx!

imho, kanya-kanyang taste yan eh. do you think it is baduy? pero kung ako may ari nyan, lahat yan dalawang patong ng 3m superblack.

jayeina:: its all a matter of personal taste. sa akin, di ko masyado trip ang reflective tints. we have a lot of threads on this topic. please use the search facility at the bottom to bring up the old threads. thank you.

tnx for your replies! pajerokid, pwede ba malaman kung anong tint yung gamit mo at the sides & at the windshield? Tnx!

Personally gusto ko yung windshield at front windows walang tint parang sa mga US minivans and SUV's. Pero medyo hindi ata practical kaya ok na din kung lighter shade.

Nakupo bakit ka naman bumili ng US Gila tint? Sayang ang pera. SolarGard or 3M na lang po sana.

Sana 1-pc ang kinuha mong windshield tint. The lines of three-piece windshields can cause undue (and sometimes ) unnoticed eyestrain lalo na on long trips.

jayeina:: Im using Mirareed super black on the sides and Mirareed Light smoke in front. Mahirap ang peripheral vision at night but frontal vision is a-OK since parang walang tint sa harap.

pajerokid,

Mirareeds are pretty hard to come by. Where did you get yours? And, do you know af any shop which carries it in the QC and Pasig areas?

**ssaloon** · July 27th, 2003 08:07 PM

bacon,

merong mirareed sa autodresscode along amang rodriguez!

**pajerokid** · July 27th, 2003 08:36 PM

ssaloon:: pare kaya ba nila 1 piece windshield? directions naman

Hindi naman ako maselan sa tint atsaka dun ko naman sinimulan ang US Gala sa likod ng driver's side onwards.

. & Solargard sa driver's side & passenger side sa unahan including the windshield. Pero effective yung dalawang patong ng US Gala tint. problema nga lang is yung night visibility. Problem ko now is yung magic black sa windshield is kita na ko from outside :mad: Hindi na tuloy ako makapagbusina ng malakas sa mga jeepney driver na nakaharang at nagsasakay ng pasahero. Baka meron kang marecommend pre na magandang tint na pwede kong ilagay sa windshield na hindi ako kita sa loob & hindi hirap ang visibility sa gabi. Tnx!

The problem with the US Gila is quality. Ito yung nagiging talong after a while so talo ka sa investment in the long run. Tapos double layer pa ginawa nila. Mas prone to scratches ang bubbles yun.

3M Super Black walang problema sa visibility. Sana nga yun na lang tint ko imbis na Solar Gard.

Go with 3M if you wan't privacy without losing much visibility.

PK::: i'm not sure kung kaya nila... basta from marcos highway sa lane na papuntang antipolo, kanan ka sa 7-11, amang rodriguez na yun (same street as mickey's autosound). dere-deretso ka lang, makikita mo sya sa left side ng road just after chowking (which is located on the right side).

ssaloon,
Thanks for the info, 'pre. I'm familiar with that shop since that's where I had my 'Reeds installed. I'm looking for other shops na meron ding Mirareed so I can compare prices and hopefully, highly recommended ng ibang members ng tsikot. The installation was ok, but nothing really great. Merong mga small bubbles na 'di nawala kahit naibalik ko na sa kanila. The tint is great, though. I felt it was just the installer's fault.

pajerokid,

Yep, they were able to install one piece Mirareed light smoke on my 2nd gen CRV. Yung 'Reed's mo, san mo napa-install?

**OTEP** · July 28th, 2003 11:49 AM

Mahirap lagyan ng 1-pc ang tonka Pajero. Problems with the local supplier daw. Imperfect ang salamin pagdating sa gitna. Sa Montero namin madali lang nalagyan, eh. Pati yung mga blister fenders madali na din daw lagyan.

Yung sakin tatlong beses inulit, eh. Ang daming naitapon na tint film bago nakuha. Sa Winterpine ko na pinagawa para sureball. Sa Jaffas at AEG sablay, eh.

**pajerokid** · July 28th, 2003 11:55 AM

I guess i'll just stick with my 2 piece front tint. I was just getting a bit picky, i guess.

bacon:: had mine installed at copperblue in p'que. near bf homes.

ssaloon:: hmmm. medyo trapik ata. anyway, pagtyatyagaan ko na lang 2pc tint ko hehe :D

Tnx again OTEP, sabagay mura lang naman ang quote sa kin for 3M Super Black, ayusin ko muna yung suspension ko & patagalin ko muna ng konti itong tint ko (newly installed lang kasi e) then upgrade ako to 3M Super black. last question pre, ano ba magandang ilagay sa windhield na hindi ka kita sa loob? Super Black, Black or yung mga magic tints (what shade)? Tnx again!

**ssaloon** · July 29th, 2003 11:02 AM

3M magic dark ok sa windshield

pero gamit ko 3M dark (2nd darkest shade)

**kimpOy** · July 29th, 2003 01:14 PM

ako din MAGIC DARK or MAGIG BLACK
sa boung kotse

**OTEP** · July 29th, 2003 07:26 PM

Super Black ng 3M gamit dun sa windshield ng SiR na drive ko minsan. Kahit gabi, no problems with me. Pero sa Pajero, Magic neutral lang daw pwede kasi medyo makapal ang sheet ng Super Black. Hindi nila kaya 1-piece sa (slightly defective) windshield ko.

**pajerokid** · July 30th, 2003 01:48 AM

On the windshield 'defect'. I remember inasar ko pa yung installer nung reeds ko hehehe! He insisted na iba raw ang wshield ng blister kesa sa atin! Sabi ko pareho lang, kasi hindi niya ma-1pc yung harap ko. Guess he was right.... hehehe.
