I did mine myself you can buy tint off ebay from a place in croydon melbourne

It is allot harder than it looks that is for sure... dont expect to just be able to do it first go expect to waste a fair bit before you get there.

I bought an expensive dvd set of 15 dvds on how to tint windows this came from an American tinting shop. its good stuff and highly recommended.

I could have paid to get mine done for the money i spent including the dvds but id rather learn something new myself.

P.S make sure u buy the tint tools from the same place i recommended the tint from.. without it ur screwed.

By the time you obtain tint, tools, wastage factor included and the time factor involved putting it on, you may as well save up a few more pennies and get the job done professionally.

Competition is fairly fierce with tint companies and most offer a fairly big discount depending upon what grade of tint that you require.

For an AU roughly start from $300 then price then goes upwards for the better grades of film.
