Window Tinting 101
Automotive window tinting has been a popular practice in the industry since World War II, with the invention of the ‘EZ Eye factory tint’. During this time, many people tried to replicate this tint by DIYing their own tint with a makeshift tinting spray. In the 1960s, window tinting became more of a widely available service, with more factory-made options for customers looking for glare protection and increased privacy.
What many car owners don’t realize are the implications of opting for a cheap, dye-based tint. Low quality and unstable dye-based tint is readily available and can often be done for a low price. As a result of these cheap, generally poorly applied tinting jobs, many vehicle owners face more trouble than good overall.
Bad window tint
The earlier versions of window tint started out as dye-based. These dye-based tints would not only fade completely within a few years, but would also turn a purplish hue. In addition, dye-based tints did not provide adequate UV protection or offer any real cooling effects. If applied poorly, the dye-based tints would often bubble and peel off, leaving the car in worse condition than before the tint was ever applied.
