Good place to buy tint film?
I wanna tint some things this weekend and I am wondering if you guys know of any good places to go buy some raw tint.
I know Tap Plastics has some stuff and that's where I am planning to go. But I just wanted to check to see if you guys know of any other places that might have a better product.

I have never applied ever before in my life. I want to tint my tails and I would rather try to do it myself first instead of paying the $100+ to get a pro to do it.
Your shop won't double up your windows?

window tint and tail light film are two TOTALLY different materials.
Window film does not stretch AT ALL so you cant wrap it around anything with corners or curves. It will only stick to glass, and is only for interior use, it uses a water activated glue adhesive, so even if you got it to stick somehow it would start peeling off the next time you wash your car or the next time it rains.
The film they use on tail lights is vinyl/PVC and has a pressure sensitive adhesive (not glue) backing. Theres typically 2 types, 2mil cast film or the really thick 20mil stuff. The 20 mil stuff is a bit more forgiving to work with but doesnt look as good since you cant get it to wrap around the corners like you can with the 2mil.
and to answer your next question, no I dont have any here

Well I went to Tap Plastics today and picked up the stuff.
****!!! So I got the wrong stuff. Where can I get the proper materials? If you tell me where I can get it, I will stop calling you a Hipster.
