So eBay Pre-Cut window tint is super cheap, and they claim it installs very easy, but I've had little success trying this stuff in the past. Let's try to install it on the Jaguar!

As a detailer of 20+ years, nothing says "sleazy used car lot cheapo paint job" than over spray in the wheel wells, exhaust, and other under carriage components. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Do yourself a favor and black all that out with a rattlecan.
Gasoline Images Inc. aren’t you more worried about the little to no prep for the ceramic coating...
I would not have done that job in the sun and I would've mentioned that the car needs to be just-washed clean.
I agree, screw the tint, black out the windows with spray paint
I know its a Maaco job. But why not spend $4 to hide the overspray? At least make it look a bit more professional
@ThatGuyNamedScott. C Very true. But seeing that the rest of the car is half assed, I expected nothing else.
This reminds me of the time i tried to put a screenprotector on my phone.
screen protecters are easy clean your surface, iso alcohol it, and lay it on.
tint however its hard af!!! i bought precut quality tints for my civic and i screwed up so i put it on pause for the longest time, but after watching sam struggle ima give it another shot!
Brian Gnow if screen protectors are easy I suck. Very possible.
Tip for doing screen protectors. If you get a piece of dust stuck under it, pull the corner up and use a piece of scotch tape to get the dust out. If you use your finger or a cloth, it just makes it worse.
Scotty C every time I do that or sticks to the screen protector and then it's really hard to get off.
Huh. Maybe there's a difference in screen protectors then. That always worked well for me.
I just can’t watch this tragedy unfold.
Trust me it won’t unfold
Sometimes he is the adult model of Jimbo
LOL! It was quite painful to watch no doubt.
@@scottcol23 lmao its jimbo baby
Red calipers it adds 20 horsepower
Yahhhh in our minds only 😋
Effin Ebay precuts lol..:I bought one a couple months ago for my maxima taillights...TOTAL fail....I ripped it off, took my ass in the house and took a nap lol
Me rn
The gray grille looks great, looks like metal
The fingers are because the window is a slight compound curve. The tint must be shrunk first on the outside of the window with a heat gun and the clear backer installed facing you. You spray heat and squeegee untill it sticks to the window with no fingers. The quality of the tint is probably crappy but there are so, so many tricks to doing it and everything needs to be perfectly clean. Always worth trying yourself :)
Random Repair snap shrink takes 5 seconds, I’ve never put film on the window to shrink it (exclusion for rears of course).
Exactly at least use a heat gun
Alot of this stuff is pre shrunk
@@rossysossy not precut tho
Not for precuts bud
The grill needs to be solid black. And the bumper accents need to be black too
Lee Ludtke no
yes
I agree
And get that blue over spray off your tire for gowds sake.
Yes, please do this.
I used to help out at a cab company in DC. That Jaguar looks like the same color we painted the cabs. I would personally pay the $99 to get the car tinted. I can do the side windows fine just the back window is a no go for me.
Mr Charles 99? What world do you live in?
As a former Jaguar USA employee, I can tell you that the hood ornament is simply called "The Leaper" and the Jaguar symbol in the steering wheel is called "The Growler." There is no such thing as the "leaping growler."
I thought the leaper was the classic Jag hood ornament so hearing it called a leaping growler confused me. Thanks for keeping me straight!
Man leaping growler is just so much fun to say!
It's the best of both!
It's also rhyming slang...
in the uk growler means really hairy lady area! funny seeing as jag were originally british!
I've got the same tint on my truck. It actually looks great. You have to spray the soap on both sides and everything will squeegee out. You won't have fingers, bubbles anything. And the instructions tell you to pull the "extra" tint outside of the window cutout first. If you don't it will rip the tint.
Hey sam that cow behind you just said "eat more chicken" lol
Thanks for the discount love on ceramic coat, looking forward to getting my hands on some
I would undercoat the overspray in the wheelwells.
Thought he was tinting windows what a DUD!
can you pull all that black window trim off and respray it to fix the overspray?
I put some cheap pre cut tint on my jag 4 years ago. Still looks perfect now and the car is kept outside. Just have to make sure to install it well
Before installing put the tint on the outside of the glass and heat it up.. let the tint contour from the outside. Next, put masking tape on the fuzzy bottom molding inside. When installing the tint, get the glass drenched. With the window an inch down, slide the bottom in first make sure it's really wet. After getting the tiny behind the bottom molding then move it up carefully into the corner and top. The key is drenching it. Dish soap might work better, just a couple of drops. Keep drenching it while you squeegee. Let it dry 24 hours.
In my opinion, silver is nicer because red is too loud combined with that blue
TheTransporter1461 but silver doesn't mock a certain food delivery service
But you know red calipers ads 20hp? Even more if it's cheap can spray paint from Walmart!
Ach was
As if the blue isnt loud enough lol.
GTO Blake they need to be red. +20hp
“And we’re gonna be ridin fishbowl” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I felt that
Sam, the cheap 20$ ebay tint is actually pretty decent, i had good luck with it my second time around after learning from my mistakes.
You can't tint outside. I found it is infinitely easier for a rookie like us to actually remove the window from the vehicle and tint it, then re install the window. A little more work but you will get a perfect result.
Having just recently done a black magic window tint on my old truck I can absolutely agree that the wind will be most peoples number 1 headache. I don't have a garage and the wind ruined my first attempt. But I pushed through and managed to do all the windows myself saving quite a bit of money. Trick to get the tint into the weather seal is to pull out from the center of the window and finesse the sides down then slide the center in. Shrinking the tint at the bottom can help with the fingers, but personally I baby sat mine and used a squeegee every time they started forming until it was mostly dry and that worked fine. The windows already had old tint on them and most shops will charge you extra if they have to remove it (only fair). But Sam if you remove the tint be sure to use your heat gun and/or a steamer. Steamer makes pretty quick work when removing tint.
I think the back section of the bumper behind the grill should be painted black. There's a cool lil paint called "Black it out" that works a charm for that
I agree the blue behind the grill looks like shit.
Agreed
Love the grill re-do ! I think the red give the car a little pop of color. Great videos Sam, keep them coming.
Hahaha. I like this style of video. Very refreshing. Good job samcrac
Red calipers. Thanks for the doing a vid on ceramic coating. Super easy by the looks of it.
Very Nice.
Your really getting the getto look down
ill take care of all your tint dont worry! LOL im in orlando and been tinting for the past 11 years. this is great to watch LOL
This is bleeping hilarious. The title should have been, "Get your popcorn ready, this one will not disappoint"
I highly agree for the "grabber" tool. I have one and it is very very very useful for grabbing everything when working on a car such as bolts or tools falling under the car, inside the engine bay and so one!!
Got with the grey calipers. The red stands out way too much against the blue
I've always found that it's much easier to install the tint on side windows by taking out the glass. I could never do the back glass though LOL!
Applied coating in the sun and right after sprayed it with water. Correct me if I'm wrong, maybe it's different with ceramic coatings. You want the car to be cool to the touch and away from sunlight when applying anything to your car and you don't want to introduce it to any moisture for a few hours.
3ddie21 clean the hell out of it ,paint correct, wax remover then apply let cure for 48 hours ,also do it in the shade. A lot of steps before you even think of applying that ceramic
Yes, a cleaned, room temp, prepped paint surface is always best, I used the sunlight to show the small area I did on camera, but I did the entire car under the barn after I washed it.
Just washing a car ain't good enough, this coating ain't lasting poor prep job
You are 100% right. Old detail guys wouldn’t even wash my car and leave it in the sun. You would think “drip dry” the best. After further review, leave a wet car outside the dirt from the passing air just sticks to the car (because it’s wet) so you gotta dry you car (with the right rags) just to get a pro looking wash, any paint or clear coat application needs to be cool and dry. Other wise you are wasting your time.
This is the funniest build I love it samcrac
Dude, what a trainwreck, i would be far too proud to release this to the public Sam 😂😂😂
4:20 I bought one of those at Sears a couple years ago! I’m glad I did! It saved me from braking my power steering pump. (long story)
I did all my car windows with ebay precut tint and it came out really good, tint isn't easy to work with but with patience it's no problem. TIP keep a razor handy to trim anything that doesn't fit perfect. And also you need to clean your windows PERFECTLY before applying, the tiniest dust particle will show up as a little bump and bubble so keep everything clean.
Does this Armor Shield stuff really work? Can`t find any unpromoted test. And can i use it to refurbish/seal headligts after sanding and polishing them?
Thanks for the heads up on the tint.
Where did you get a pumpkin from in april? Do they grow all year round in Florida?
I’ve tinted all my trucks myself. I have never done the pre cut ones I usually cut them myself but it took me about 3 cars to master it but once you learn how to do it it’s like tying your shoes
Do you have any of that grill paint left? You should paint the bumper top behind the grill that colour, or black. Will make the grill stand out.
@samcrac the fingers happen when you don't shrink the tint to the window curve but for a first timer it's a good job
Almost 200K congrats
I would suggest taking the door trims off when applying, it should give more room for tint at the bottom ???
@samcrac please please rattle can the over spray back to Black, it screams ‘I have a back alley paint job!’
Mitchell Guyon I agree, rattle can mat black inside the wheel arches and behind the front grille the blue look cheap.
Agreed
I have pulled off a tint job on my own with cheap tint on my work truck. But for $300 only at my local shop I get a sedan done in premium ceramic 3M film with a 5 year warranty. And if I settle for standard film I can get a sedan done for $160. Professional and perfect. So I'm definitely taking that route for the future. If It was like 500 to get a car done. I would spend the time to learn. But for the money the professional job with the warranty is a 👍
Haircut looks great man! So does the Jag!!!!!
Your videos are awesome and inspire me on my channel
Your making me want another Jag. Miss my XK n even my XJ. I drive to far now and they ate gas but they drove SOOO nice and were made so well. Never had one of these. Was gonna get one when I got my XJ but I drove both n the XJ drove so nice I had to go with it
Paint the outer rim of that grill with the grey brother. Trust me it will look so much better
Alex Youngberg yes it would.
The armor shield, its sorta kinda like the real life equivalent of KITTs molecular bonded shell, right?
I bought some pre cut tint on eBay for my car, all the pieces were too short. Wouldn't fit below the window scraper, without leaving about an inch gap from the top so I had to compromise with about a half inch gap all the way around the window. Ended up taking it all off and buying new tint and cutting it out myself.
At first I didn't like your color choice but after a few videos of the Jag I'm diggn the car. Now I'm looking at Jags online to buy.
Where is the Video on a missing RS7?
Just a thought on the tint, since it's JUST you with no helper: A large, plastic tote, with the water/soap solution, and do all the "unwrapping" in there, so it and your hands are wet in the whole process, including when you take it out and stick it to the glass. Kind of like the water-slide decals for a model car.
Edit: P.S.: Silver for the calipers.
This tint install was awesome to watch 😂😂
Thanks for the Avalon King deal... awesome! Second bottle even cheaper. Just do the checkout for the first one with the coupon and they will offer you the second kit just before finalizing it.
Love the colour coded wheel arch liners😀😁😂🤣😃😄
I actually love the bright colour now, especially with the grey wheels
Ok so im looking at cheap paint job for my truck and i wanna know how that stuff is gonna hold up to mud and dirt
You should paint the grille black, I think it would look good contrasting with the tint (when you get it done) and the calipers should be red. PS, the blonde holding the camera is cute
Thanks for the code! I've wanted to try a ceramic coat and at that price... It's on it's way.
I forgot to mention.... Free Shipping to Canada! I saved enough for Pizza. Not Dominos....
Avalon King you guys rock!
Customer service #1! Domonos could really learn from you guys.
great video!!! Everything that you are doing is great!!!!!
Funniest video you've ever made! More of these please!!!!
Yeah Sam I tried tinting the windows on my truck myself and spent as much as having a professional do it, I ended up getting mad at my own tint job and ripped it all off and having a pro do it and been happier with that job than my own.
Can that grab tool be used to remove tracking devices from peoples noses?
From having my cars tinted in the past, I think it's way easier if you remove the door panels so you can get right in and cover the bottom of the widow(s). Plus you can adjust it easier with the soapy water. You need to clean the windows first with a squeegee and a dust free environment. Let the pro's do it, honestly. All the hack DIY tint jobs I've seen, lots of bubbles. Car looks pretty good. Keep it up.
Hey Sam a few things on tint, first off if you really want to do it your self just go buy it from one of the Autoparts stores, it comes in depths of tint.. or percentage of tint .its what they check when they pull you over to see if its too dark ..Anyway I have done my Car , Truck which has been on your property before when I delivered HAY to your Dad ....But as I was getting to i did it on my old house too but that I bought at Home Depot ( its different tint than at Auto parts store ) BUT you still use the same method to install it......stop using them Bondo spreaders and get your self a good 6 -8 inch RUBBER Squeegee and a 10-12 inch one of you plan top do your house....The Squeegee will have a Metal Base on it that can be taken apart to replace the Rubber if need be or shift it for weird corners. OK to install it first off never try to line it up and Always CUT IT BIGGER you will trim it with a single edge razor blade or a break off blade style cutter. NEVER USE HEAT GUN!! to get it behind the window sweeper (felt) on the door panel you can do it 2 ways one (and this is why you cut it bigger) after you cut your piece and you get ready to remove the clear backing on the film you roll the window down about 3 inches and then you can either slip the film behind the sweeper by just wetting it and slipping it but i like to un pop the panel just on the top it makes it alot easier and then slip it down far enough to were it goes well below the window if you rolled it up all the way.
Make sure as you are doing this you keep the top sprayed or wet against the window this allows you to move it in any direction easy.......OK here is where the magic comes in with the Squeegee start in the center and work your way to one side ONLY i normally do the hardest ..in your case that odd part at front dont worry if it is a big big and comes up ( really hard to explain this on here) anyway you do that and then you use tool to take the solution out at the bottom all the way to the end of window so now it looks like the front is done mostly and the end where it would the key in the door is,. turn your tool around and use it to remove all the solution all the way out to the top until the film is more or less looks like its been done by a pro ( this is HOW YOU GET NO FINGERS...the solution and lift and squeegee over and over till it sets right) at first it seems hard by the 3rd you will go at it like you been doing it for years.......ok the final and the part that makes it look like its been done by a shop........TRIMMING you want to cut the top first and this is IMPORTANT...CUT IT 1/8- 1/4 short all the way across the top following the top edge of window... THE REASON: when you roll it up its unseen because of window rubber.....now why you do it: so it wont roll back or get pinched off in un-stick cut the sides about 1/8 same way not as important you just need to make sure its even ....its very easy........ok here is why you left the bottom long and DID NOT DO THE DUMB CREDIT CARD SHIT......now take you single edge or break away cutter and roll window all way up for now pull back on bottom window sweeper/felt and CUT ABOUT 1/2 an inch below it and use squeegee to push it down flush to window........ now after thats been cut all the waay around your done ...ALMOST.......ONE step left is to ROLL DOWN any of the windows you had to Roll up so if 2 or 4 door roll them all down about 2 inches
Should paint the area behind the grill black. Looks a bit cheap seeing the blue through it. I think the grill bezel itself should be a contrasting colour as well, maybe the same as the wheels.
As a 25+ year window tinting veteran, this was painful to watch. Get it done professionally, because you'll end up paying $100 just to remove the old film before they retint it.
With the window tint to get the fingers out place on the outside of glass and heat shrink to the curve of the glass. Plus you have to peel the extra tint off around to expose the actually pattern of the window then you wont rip the film and its best to tack the film to the glass so you can peel off what they call the release liner.
Hey Samcrac, the reason for the fingers is because the tint is flat and the window is curved. Take a heat gun and heat the fingers and the will start looking like a snake and you can flatten them out with your hard card. I usually do that on the outside before installing. If you ever need help I can walk you through the process and tricks such as how to carry the tint.
You have to take the clear film off of the sheet first before you push out the cut section! It even says so in the instructions. That's why it ripped.
Watching u do that tint was hilarious lol
I got a GREAT laugh out of this!! 😂😂😂 I will take my Escalade to the professionals and save myself the migraine 😂🤣🤣🤣
I like the contrast of the red calipers
you can get a full car tinted professionally around here for $110-130. Not worth messing with the pre-cut stuff.
Bought pre cut tint from Bay and installed it with no probs. Did my truck 5 years ago, car 3 years ago and other car 6 months ago. No fade or purple. Looks as good as the day it was installed. Believe me when I say it is your lack of skill that was the main prob. Using a sharp edged bondo spreader is a quick way for scratches and rips. Rubber squeegee and soft edged tucker would have helped.
I prefer the silver brake callipers. I feel bright smurf blue is at really a colour that complements red but I think it’s going to be tough to revert the red callipers back to silver so might as well just go with it.
Love your built. Just watched a couple of jaguar videos and I think it came out nicely. It's not the colour that I would recommend, but it doesn't look that bad at all. Their are some minor things that I would tackle if it was my car;
1. Firstly, I would black out the wheel arches because of the overspay with some body wax that also protects rust (if they were metal).
2. Chroom wrap or black out the trim pieces on the bumpers that are painted blue. Now it just looks odd.
3. Black the rubber/plastic with some "back to black" compound and clean up the interior by detailing it.
4. Fix all the overspay with Aceton/paint stripper. Be careful with it but overspay is a no go on a good paint job.
Hopefully it's advice that can help you. Would love to here if you agree on those thoughts. Just became a sub..😄
Damn brother you REALLY need to learn how to spell or get a modern phone with autocorrect because you misspelled every other word in your entire comment... damn
Those jags are interesting to tint lol that back window is fun but can be done in one piece.
Did you prep your car pre ceramic coat? If so what method
Hey look! It's me in 1997!
Coulda told you ahead of time that this is always a fail.
Although I did one indoors once and it's been holding for 18 years.
First rule of applying tint... DO NOT do it in direct sunlight... Open Carport, under Tree anything but direct sunlight. /shrug
iNetSpy second rule is pay a pro... some jobs just aren’t meant to be diy haha
Meh maybe but you know that anything a pro can do is something that you can also potentially do yourself right? Especially if we are talking about simple handy-man jobs like this where intelligence/education is not needed, the only thing separating a car "pro" from the common man is experience, and anyone can get that if they are willing to give a few tries.
Suggestion.....Paint the wheel wells black to cover up that blue over spray...do the area behind the front grill too.
What are you doing about the overspray on the tires?
Is it a good idea to clay bar the car as well before putting the ceramic coating on?
Definitely clay bar; this is a "new" paint job so there shouldn't be many surface contaminants why I didn't have to do it.
From what I've watched,with fingers in your tint heat the glass on the outside for 3 seconds then squeegee the inside to get rid of fingers.repeat until fingers have gone.
Do the same for air bubbles too!!👍
Hey Sam..I love the FRB PAINT!! I was a Sales Rep for Spies Hecker when I went back to England for 18 months and when I left to go back to the states a few years ago,My uncle GIFTED me hiS RHD 1 of 6 U.K. Spec 1989 930 Turbo Which was THE AWFUL Guards Red and I hate red cars!!! I had a Job as a Rep for HOK & Glasurit in London which worked out great..The car only had 8,109 miles on it when it arrived on a 747.. My mum has been an Executive for adelta for over 34 years and KLM flew it over....Being innthe business I had Park Place strip and Media blast the entire car ro only a shell and in fact painted""French Racing BLUE" IN House of Kolors. I also have a 1988 which SharkWerks did some major upgrades to and I had it sprayed HOK GOLD BASE KANDY COBALT BLUE METALLIC WHICH I GET NONSTOP QUESTIONS ABOUT..ITS SO BAD ASS.

KEEP UPMTHE GREAT CONTENT ANDCIF YOU NEED PAINT,I CAN GET YOU WHATEVER YOU NEED MAN.C...
You can get an endoscope (tiny camera on end of a wire)on Amazon or eBay, that has saved me a lot of trouble with working on the car and house.
but i guess you got the wire without it.
red calipers....i have that grabber tool, came with a long magnet. urs looks better mine doesnt grip hard
Car is looking great, not a fan of the color but that's on me. :D
I did my truck side windows for the extended cab but man what a pain. So I decided to go to Speedy for my Forester. It was $300 and there was issues but it came with a lifetime warranty and they fixed the problems ASAP.
3:50 my dad literally gave me that tool with a magnet and LED built in. It’s great
How you doing Sam I'm looking for 2009 Honda Accord seats black and leather I cannot find them in New York
Lol that same thing happened to me i bought cheap tint job for $60 and paid extra $30 for lifetime warranty only for the tint to turn purple after 3 years and go back to the shop and find out is now a title loan company 😢
Drive through St Pete and see how fast you get pulled over because it’s to dark. I went to a place to get my windows tinted in 06. A few months ago certain spots started to bubble. He retinted the whole car because stands by his warranty. It's called Tint studio or class on glass off gibsonton dr
Should've sprayed it with water before the coating, too. I bet it would've sheeted just the same (since it was new paint).
I was thinking about doing my moms car and I figured I'd start with a rear window and do the driver last with more experience
You should paint the blue area behind the grille black, it'd look a lot cleaner if you ask me.
Samcrac, I think the car looks fine. Everyone is roasting it, but it looks good for an old Jaguar. I would paint the overspray in the wheel wells, though.
