I've tried it before on my old a3 and f**king failed big time. Failed at removing the old tint properly and major failed at applying the new tint

From memory I used a butter knife and a paint scraper :D


I'm going to get it professionally done and really dark, I think 3% is the darkest yeah?

Darkest is 0%, black paint.

And I wouldn't recommend going any lower than 20%. Even with 20% you can barely see anything at night.

Altapac in Kotara do a good job, few of my mates have gotten their tint done there.
