Ceramic Window Tinting on a Chevy Corvette: Full Process
Hey, it’s Andy with Mid-MO Dents! Today, we’re back with the Corvette from our last video, and this time, we’re tinting the two front windows and the partition window in the back using our Ceramic Pro tint.
Pattern and Shrinking
We first checked if our software had the tint pattern for the Corvette. Luckily, it did! After cutting the pattern with our Graphtec plotter, we moved on to heat shrinking the film to fit the curved glass perfectly. For frameless windows like these, we can often tint without removing the door panels.
Tinting Process
Once the window was cleaned with soapy water and a stainless steel blade, we installed the tint by lining it up and using a rubber squeegee to push out the water. After that, we applied heat to the edges of the tint, ensuring a solid seal, particularly on frameless windows that tend to move each time the door is opened.
Partition Glass
We also tinted the small partition glass near the engine but skipped tinting the rear window, as the heat from the engine could cause the tint to wear prematurely. Plus, the engine looks great through the clear glass!
Final Look
Now that we’ve finished the tinting, the Corvette looks sleek with its 20% ceramic tint, complementing the 5-year ceramic coating we applied to the paint, plastic, windows, and wheels in the previous video. We’ll be giving the customer a call to let them know it’s ready to hit the road!
