Walmart tint any good?

[I Like Waffle]

I was thinking about trying out the tint thing on my car - 81 pontiac catalina. I dont know shit about tint so thats why im posting this. I was looking at some stuff the other day, and was thinking about doing 5% back window, 10% rears, and 25% up front, maybe like 35 on the windshield. Is the walmart brand tint any good or is that the purple shit that bubbles and all that? My windows will be fairly easy to do as all of them already have black outlines around them made into the windows. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif But yea, i can get enough tint to do my car for roughly 30 bucks, and then the "application kit" from black magic costs like 10 bucks. Is this shit any good at all? Im gonna try it just for the hell of it if it is. What do i need to look for when buying tint? If i have to i can just order some or something i guess.

Don't use it. Look up some llumar tint, or 3m. If you don't care whether your tint turns purple in 2 years then by all means go to walmart.

wlmart has a couple different brands the more expensive the better also tint quality is a lot like car audio its all about the installation...

depending on the "dye" of the tint it may or may not turn purple after time. getting mediocre tint will probably last you a few years before it turns purple.

overall, the bubbling, it's all installation dependent.
