Tint dot matrix disaster - Page 2

As everyone said, its the nature of the beast. To fix you have to have vinyl laid first then tint if you want it to look right

I've not really ever even paid much attention to it. The way mine is doesn't really bother me, I just wish it was a tad darker.

Dotmatrix usually gets much better if left in the sun for a couple days.

I have a 15% ceramic tint all round my car minus the windshield. Had my tint for just about a year now and this is what it’s looked like.

car is nasty so excuse that. It decided to rain with a 5% chance this morning, happy day.

Your's looks great!! That's how it should be. Look at mine...all freakin' wonky.

Never really thought of anything wrong with the way the tint looked. Looks good in my eyes.

Crosive, my advice is to get your tint redone by a good shop! Looks like it was a crappy job to me. Get Ceramic tint too! It makes a difference over regular tint.

Frankie18SS · 07-08-2019, 03:50 PM

This is what mine looked like after a couple days. I agree, it might be better to have a pro work on it.

RoninSS · 07-09-2019, 12:44 AM

Mine looks about the same.. Relax a bit.. this is a very first world problem

I saw this post, So I go look at my car. Hey, it has little dots!! Yippee, I'm part of the club.
Car was tinted by dealer when it came in for me way back in March/16

I never really noticed it...until you pointed it out.

Doesn't bother me. But mine is even and uniform.

honestly it doesn't bother me. It's at least uniform with no out of place "bleeding" like in some others I've seen.

I may get it redone eventually to a darker tint, but not because of how it looks now.
