Angry back glass tint

i have my front two windows blacked out but my back glass is completely clear. i am pretty good at tinting windows ( i did my own) but i know it will be a b!tch trying to do the back one. especially since it's curved. any suggestions or tips on tinting the back glass? cause i'm not gonna pay the "300$" that everyone tells me it costs,

thanks, russell

$300?!

I just had all of my windows (sides and back) tinted for $160 + tax CDN, and it's a professional job. I had them done at Tint King (not sure if they're a chain or not ) but they tinted my '81 as well, and both times, I've been happy with the job. Maybe you can work with tint film OK, but I think the back would be a bigger PITA than the 2 side windows??

Sorry, no tips on how to do it easier..............IMO, pay someone!

It cost me $180 including tax, and that was with ONYX tint... which is warrentied forever. Heck I just got my quote to add another layer to my rear-window and it was only $75.

Instead of going from side to side, try going from top to bottom.
Thats how i did mine and you can hardly see the over lap unless your right up on it. I also did it in only three peices so you get to seems.
