6:02 quick tip, because that’s the method I use to double cut, I picked the idea up from a fellow tinter, and teacher, and big bro, Vidal aka VTintit from NY. You can shrink both sides together without separating them, install your pattern that is in front of you, and when done with that door, move to the other and install that one. No awkward tint moving at all.
Also, after learning about the sharpie method, I’m really considering adding it to my routine. I still sometimes struggle with botched cuts on the sides
You got me started doing this, but I use a chalk marker so you can do it on the actual film if you have to flip it over, and it wipes right off after cutting.
What i do now is instead of putting the film on car put it it on your peelboard and squeegie them both together so they dont slide at all, then transfer it to the car. I sharpie the lines, cut the top and bring it back to the peelboard qnd cut it with a ruler
I’ve been tinting for 3 years now and I just did my first Pontiac G8 a couple days ago. What a coincidence that you’re doing one now. You don’t see these cars anymore and they’re quite rare, only made for 2 model years.
The G8 is a rebadged Holden from Australia so they put the switches in the middle so they didn't have to make two separate door panels for LH or RH drive to save money. BMW also used to do that
Very niice!! They way I would do it is to put the film the normal way and just draw the line on the first pattern.. then proceed like normal.. it was a little difficult to see the line sometimes 😅 But ur doing an excellent job on ur explanations
What about using a China marker instead of a Sharpie so you can wipe it off and draw on the tint instead of the liner so they stick together better and don't slide?
Thats what i was thinking if he was using the sharpie on the actual tint .. so now my question is .. if using the sharpie method and only cutting one window at a time does that mean it will always go on the opposite side door?
See you use this Sharpie method AND the snitty goes to show you can get away with NO peel board and just peel off the car and air cut the sides w the snitty
Nice job Matt sharpie is less stressful to cut rubbers and no shifting needed.....
Sharpie method helps especially if you are tinting outside in the wind, so you can take it inside on a glass board

I use it it's safer as far as cutting seals and more easier not to mess up

Put a sheet of release liner between the sheets of tint and it locks it in place so they don’t shift

When cutting the top edge of glass do it matters which end to start cutting top right or top left

Thanks Matt!!
how do you avoid getting creases when you fold back your bottom stage corners

And no awkward separations 😅
Crazy I was thinking about this

Have you thought of making window templates for the vehicles you do so it makes it easier for the future?
I’d be really bad at organizing them
excellent!!!
Very Good, your fan in Brazil...🏆

Watched the video yesterday, and you read my thoughts, lol.
What tape do you use on the seals?
Seal guard tape - 313tint.com
I would also double shrink before you separate them.
Great video Matt! Any reason he cuts with the liner facing him? I thought it might’ve been to prevent any damages
u r the goat
I thought I was the only window tinted that uses scissors for stuff!!!

We like to use China Markers instead of sharpies. Sharpies stop working on wet film, where china markers work no matter what. Good ones of course.
Where can i get your light diffuser like you have on your ceiling?
