Shrinking tint is okay, its removing seriously old purple tint off rear windows without ruining the defroster that sucks.

I used to work at a tint shop.

y does tint turn purple?

Its cheap tint. Seriously though, cheap window film consists of polyester film dyed to achieve the desired color and darkness. The purple appearance is caused when the ultraviolet rays from the sun break down the dyes in poor quality film.

I melted too much tint in the past when learning how to tint lol which is why I hate shrinking lol also agree on removing tint without screwing up the defroster lol I had to do that to an older BMW I had it sucked and I screwed up the defroster lol, Oh well live and learn HAHA

Tint looks good man. Tint is such a subtle modification,but it makes a huge difference in the overall appearance.

I need to get the windows done on my Caddy in the spring.

Looks like you did a good job.... I run a professional window tint shop and we have metallized and ceramic window film. MOST dyed films do turn purple over time. When it does it is a real pain removing it, especially on the rear glas with defrost. The mazda bseries is a very easy vehicle to tint. The only windoes that needs to be formed on the outside is the ports (side vent windows).

I have 5% on the rear half, 15% on 2 front doors, 40% on the whole windshield, 15% visor strip. It is dark and it looks awesome. I havent got a ticket yet. Knock on wood.........
