    Wanted: window tinter

    I'm looking to get the windows on my truck tinted. I live about 1 hour southwest from Manchester, NH and 35 minutes northwest from Leominster, MA. I'm not really looking to drive much more than an hour from home. Looking for any suggestions that people have had a good experience with.

    Matt, check the latest laws on tint in NH... they're not too friendly.

    From what I've found, There can only be tint on the rear windows (side included) and be 35%.

    I'd like my car done too, but I don't want to pay Tint King $190. And Shel no longer tints...

    Tint King in Billerica?

    They've done my last couple cars...no problems whatsoever. It's actually a solid enough job that I just call them and say when at this point, don't really look around much.


    But I'll keep an eye on this thread for sure as the wifes ride needs tint once I save up my pennies so if something good develops...

    Re: Wamted: window tinter

    what kind of truck and windows?
    i used to tint my friends cars in H.S. flat windows are a cinch. grab some tint at walmart and a sharp razor.
    of course if youre looking for absolutely perfect tint job then you need a pro. if you just want it done, then do it yourself.

    Re: Wamted: window tinter

    I have had my last five cars tinted at carrisma in Lowell.. Great job on the first four.. The last one had dirt specs under the film of one window.. Its pain for me to drop my car off there though since they are open the same hours I work and I am not going to leave my car to get raped overnight in Lowell.

    My gf swears by Carisma in Lowell too. Personally I've never done any business there but... A few friends recommended Tint King in Billerica too but I still haven't made it down. I didn't know they were that expensive. I need the front passenger and front drivers side windows done to match the factory. Got quoted 90 bucks from Unique in Burlington, no thanks, that seems kinda steep.

    Re: Wamted: window tinter

    if its not a curved back window (like a camaro or something) windows are easy to tint. i highly recommend removing door panels for any window that rolls down so the tint is below the door that way it doesnt get caught and peel. as for the top. you can use a razor or a file and a little clear fingernail polish. you only need a razor, patience, squeegee, and a spray bottle of soapy water.

    Re: Wanted: window tinter

    I am pretty sure tint kings stuff is die cut on the spot btw, fwiw. Im sure everyone is using the same stuff....

    Car-risma is still around? damn. I just never venture into that part of lowell anymore.
    Tint king they literally did it while I waited. I think I paid 100$ for my two front windows to match the factory rear. Bring cash if you want anything other than 35%.

    I think the state police use Tint King as well. I know a few auto glass places used to (executive and jn phillips).

    OK, Since I have hung up my tint tools I have been send people to the King, All you have to do is tell him Shel sent you and he will hook you up on the discount.
