Key sprayer - I built this tint keg myself. It's called a "Cornelius keg". You can buy them on amazon and then get all the parts there as well. They also sell them already put together. Don't pay more than $310 for a preassembled keg (unless it has a filter and a brass spray nozzle). Here is a link to some on ebay.com www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from...
Pump sprayer - Here is a link to the pump sprayer I use in my videos. I'm not sure that this is the cheapest price but it is the correct product. 44tools.com/poly-ii-sprayer/
It's taken years to perfect our installs, and we'd like to share this knowledge with everyone.

Hi, my name is Brent and I have been an automotive window tinter since 1998 and have been installing paint protection film since 2004. In 1998 I took a 5 day class to learn the basics of window tinting. Then I started tinting cars and learning as I went. In 2004 I bought a roll of paint protection film (clear bra by 3m) and taught myself how to install it. I am now the Owner of ENCORE Window Tinting and Paint Protection Film in Stockton, CA.

Great detailed video. I like how you take the time to explain everything thoroughly. Well done.
I appreciate the feedback. I am glad to hear that the video is helpful and detailed enough. Thank you! 😁
So clean! Well done.
I appreciate the feedback! Thank you. 👍🏻 I hope you found something helpful. 😁
The wires allow you to hook it to a 9v or 12v battery. This will pop open the frunk and allow you to gain access to the 12v battery to jump-off the vehicle, or at least supply power to the vehicle’s 12 volt system.
Interesting, that makes sense. Without a mechanical lever, there's no way to open the frunk when you don't have power. I was pretty far off. 🤣😂 Thank you for the information. 👍
Yes, check this out :

@@oddgeirbrateng5912 That's a great video on that. Thank you for sharing it. 👍
Outstanding video and quality work! Thank you.
Much appreciated! Thanks for the feedback. Are you a PPF installer, or were you looking for DIY video?
@@EncorePPFtint wife and I attempted the front end kit on our Tesla Model Y. We failed. Luckily we are local and will calling soon to set up and appointment with you to have it done professionally! 👍🏻
I'm sorry to hear it didn't work out. I'd like to hear the problems you had and see if I could add to another video and help more people. The bumper is pretty tough. This gives me an idea, though. I wonder if a video of me coaching my wife through an install would be helpful to people. She doesn't really know how to install PPF.
We'll be here! 😁
Great work and explanation.
What are your experience with knifeless tape and PPF?
Greetings from Germany
Ralph
Thank you for the feedback!
A couple weeks ago I purchased my first roll of knifeless tape. I'm hoping to test it soon.
Welcome to the channel! :)
Thank you from Alanya i learned a lot🛠️
Awesome, that is great to hear. I'm glad it was helpful. 👍🏻
Hey Brent, I love ur videos and how u go over the details!!! Every lil bit of info is always a great help!!! Thank you!!! May I ask where did u get ur ramps from?!
Thank you for this awesome comment. I really appreciate it and the feedback.
The ramps are "Race Ramps". I don't remember where I bought them. It's been many years. Raceramps.com or even on Amazon. Awesome ramps. They are very lightweight, which makes them easy to move and store. Great for changing your own oil as well! 😁
I've been watching all your videos lately, very detailed, good job. What brand of PPF do you use?
Hello! Thank you for the feedback. It's much appreciated! I'm glad you are finding them helpful.
Currently we are using PremiumShield NextGen. It's a great material! We are testing a couple other PPF brands right now as well.
Im taking a ppf
Class next week cant wait!!!
Ur videos r so motivating
And insightful! Thank you for taking the time and doing This.
Also are teslas the easiest to ppf? Wixh cars r the “easiest “ so i can get more practice on them..
Good luck!! Get ready to learn a lot! 😁 These videos should be even more helpful after you get some practice and hands-on experience with some PPF.
I remember the new Honda Accords being pretty darn easy.
@@EncorePPFtint so I should start with lower end cars?
Family, friends?
Also i dont have a shop but i know a place i can do the installation.
I just need printer,computer program for precuts ,film..
I guess it depends on what you consider lower end cars.
I would definitely work on cars you have available to you as you start to learn the whole process and how to work with the PPF.
Make sure you have enough lighting as well. That's very important.
@@EncorePPFtint i have mobile wash/detailing biz.
I can apply to some of my clients.
Is it ok to apply if it already has rock chips?
Yes, you can apply ppf over paint that already has some damage to it. It's no big deal, but do understand that ppf sticks best to new undamaged paint. So something you will notice is that installing ppf over some paint with some miles on it is that the edges that take more stretching will pop up more and take more work to keep down. So, if you run into that, it's normal. 👍🏻😁
51:12 Brent,how do u go about trimming that corner spot? What part needs to be trimmed? Is it overlapping the issue? If so, Do you just score the top layer and tear away the excess?
Yes, I will score the top overlapping layer and tear that away. You shouldn't leave PPF overlapping. In the video, you can see that the top layer is bridging the gap from the paint to over the first layer of PPF. The air gap between the two layers is going to look bad (silver), fill with dirt, and fail (lift) with some time. 👍🏻
Very detailed video. Could you post a link to the brand of PPF? Thank you
Thank you! This is my 3rd uploaded video where I walk through the whole process. So, it's great to get some feedback. I'll definitely start adding this type of info to the description. The material is PremiumShield NexGen, which is now owned by Eastman. The material itself is going away at the end of 2022. So we'll be switching over to an Eastman brand or be on the hunt for a new brand. 👍🏻
@@EncorePPFtint autobahn all the way
We do use @autobahn for our window tint. Do you use their PPF by any chance? We have a sample but have not used it yet. I'm also not sure about the software they offer. If I use a precut pattern I need them to be on point. I know Eastman now has the PremiumShield patterns and design team. Fantastic patterns. Also, Xpel is known for its patterns. 👍🏻
when you do this do you prefer precut or bulk sheet?
I am a big fan of both ways. Kits have gotten so good. Kits are normally faster as well.
I think it's important to know how to do both. Bulking really helps you understand ppf and its limits. You can install things with fewer seams and releaf cuts.
What cut software did you use for this? I like that the pattern wraps the top of the bumper
This kit was cut out with the CORE software. I really like the pattern. It fits really well. I'd be surprised to hear or see that another software doesn't wrap into the frunk area. That would be shier laziness! :)
@@EncorePPFtint I have been using digicut 😢
Do you sell the precut bumper for Model Y for those that want to diy?
Yes, we do. 😁 you can reach out to us at RUclips@encorewindowtinting.com, and we can get you some pricing. 👍🏻
Is it required to remove the tow hook for the Tesla? If so why?
It is not required. I remove the tow hook covers because I like to wrap the film into that area so there are no visible edges to catch dirt over time.
Here is a video that goes over exactly how I install PPF around tow hook covers: ruclips.net/video/7aJBpEpighc/видео.html
Do you have a link to the slip-solution sprayer? Thanks!
I'll add this to the description as well. I built this tint keg myself. It's called a "Cornelius keg". You can buy them on amazon and then get all the parts there as well. They also sell them already put together. here is a link to some on ebay.com www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2047675.m570.l1313&_nkw=tint+tanks&_sacat=0
@@EncorePPFtint thanks!
why don't you use alcohol when you tack PPF on the edge in both side? The PPF should moving a little and not be in lay?
I run pretty tacky on my slip solution. So I don't use tack (alcohol) as much as most installers. I definitely use it when I need it. Tack solution is a crucial tool when installing ppf.
@@EncorePPFtint thank for your replying
No problem. Ask away! 😁
You don't need soap in your spray? Thanks
Soap is definitely needed. The hose sprayer I'm using has my slip solution in it. 8ml of soap to each gallon of water. The soap is Seventh Generation dish soap. 👍🏻
ok thanks@@EncorePPFtint
No problem. If you have any more questions, ask away! 😁
Does this help it from Rusting?
I'm not sure if PPF would be helpful with rust. It would depend on the situation. I'm sure that things would not rust under the PPF, but rust could creep in from the edges.
