Brother Tintman...you’re videos rock. Some folks are just gifted in certain ways and you’ve got a gift for teaching and mad skills for wrapping!! I started with little knowledge on wrapping and tinting. I got hooked...love the stuff although it can be aggravating and difficult at times for sure. Your videos are the best and a tremendous help. Thanks...keep them coming!!
Man, after only watching a handful of videos I can already tell you're one of the best in the game when it comes to RUclips content. Not to mention your skills. Very detailed and informative. And you obviously have a great amount of experience and passion for what you do. Wish there was someone like you around my area. I gotta travel at least 50 miles just to get some decent quality work that I'm sure is still about 50% of the quality you do. Keep up the great work bro love watching the vids! 🤘
I appreciate your videos. You’re jam packed with a lot of info and very detailed. If I ever do decide to get certified to wrap or take a wrap class, I will be sure to use yours. Even though you’re in Canada and there’s a lot of available classes in the u.s, I wouldn’t feel right using it because I’ve started with you
I just did my tail lights and fogs with this material and tape technique. Overall it's really nice to work with, takes a little getting used to the thick material, I ruined the first piece with some permanent fingering from overstretching slightly. Good gloss, good scratch healing, good light transfer.. I did light smoke.
Love your channel. Getting ready to do my tail lights and re-wrap the hood on my Camaro SS 1LE this weekend. I've hopefully learned a lot by watching your videos.
Thanks mate, I bought the same tint and installed today and they looks good. I think I have nearly the easiest tail light to tint and still took me a good 30 mins per side while the Subaru is super hard for me and you did it in 10 mins. I am embarrassed. Thanks for your video.
Just done this with same stuff on Mazda 6 and looks good. Took lights out in the end as mad it easier for us and also a lot better with 2 people. The key is to get the heat and stretch into it. Thanks for the video
Thank you! Your video is probably the only one who shows how to get around curvy tail lamps... Tried it again (coz I kept getting wrinkles at the top of the rear light) and the wrinkles are not as bad... Im gonna try again soon.. Hope I can get it perfect the next time..
I'm honestly amazed by how awesome this looks and how easy it looks! I had the absolute worst experience on my first and second attempts at tinting my taillights because I was using bad stuff and I had no clue what I was doing. I was about to give up and take it to a shop until I saw your video. I'm definitely going to be trying this!
I just purchased my first roll of Vivvid dark smoke lense tint to do my girlfriend' mustang. I was going to start doing headlight tints, black out roof wraps, carbon fiber hood wraps ect to get into it myself. Video is exactly what I needed to see today!! Thank you!!!
Love all your videos man!!! I'm going to some vinyl wrapping classes next week with Justin Pate and I'm super excited!! your videos are so great, keep up the amazing work! maybe we could get together sometime!
Best tutorial video ever. Ordered the same tail light tint used your tape trick around lights. BOOM success. Wasn’t perfect on my first go around. But super happy with the process. Thanks!!
I just did this today to my 2018 silverado 1500. First time wraping and it came out exelent no bubbles, no creases perfect. The only thing i messed up it was because i did the light in my room,, bad idea i thoughtbit would be easier like that but no no no.. Thanks for the video!!!
Dude, you're really good. I have a 2018 BMW 540. It has some pretty aggressive geometric shapes to the tail lights. I was ready to use the spray-tint until I watched some of your videos. Just placed and order for the film. Wish me luck!
Thank you so much for this video. Super helpful and informative I was able to install the vivid smoke vinyl on the taillights and signal lights of my jeep. thank you
I have a 2015 sti and your videos have helped a ton. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, and going into such depth. You're the man and I'm gladly subscribed!
Great video......thanks I will tinting headlights and taillights on my 03 Ford Expedition as soon as the vinyl shows up...........I use my 03 truck as my vinyl wrap practice mule.........lol
I am about to do yellow on my 2017 Tacoma headlights, and fogs, and they are not very flat, def the most bulbous headlight housing on the 4Runner and Taco. thinking there will be a lot of fingering, but this video was super helpful with starting at flat spots and just heat and working it as you go. Thanks man if it comes out nice ill give credit here
Hi. Been following your videos for a long time now. I have finally decided to attempt to smoke tint my own tail lamps. I just received my Vvivid vinyl and a felt tipped applicator tool. Just wanted to say thanks for these tutorials and I really appreciate you sharing your skills and tips with everyone.
Hey looks great .going to wrap my 2015 ford edge sport very easy to.pull my rear tail lights will.pull them off and wrap them I used vivid carbon fibre to wrap piano console inside was easy keep up great work thanks
Ive literally just tinted my taillights for the first time using these Vvivid wraps and this tutorial helped a bunch. It was so easy to work with. HOWEVER, could anybody please give me some advice on how to avoid those glue lines?
I did my Denali taillights with this stuff. It's easy at first, but once you start having to navigate corners and edges it gets tedious and using the heat gun becomes important. You can melt the vinyl too much :-) Try not to handle it anywhere where it will touch the lens, your finger oils will eventually cause it to peel. It also seems best to try and wrap the edges around the light otherwise it may peel off.
I’ve used the light smoke tint on my taillights and it looks great, I want to do it to my headlights but I’m worried about spider cracks/crazing because of why I have read on forums. What is your experience with this?
Great video, I did my 2020 WRX tail light today. Used this as a guide and just went with it for the most part. I'm happy for being the first time. Subscribed for the rest of the STI video 🤓 Added note: 8:30 I bought this vvivid film and the reverse looks brown so not sure what happened but meh
Got a precut kit from lamin-x for my 2013 911, removed the taillights, took me 2 minutes, no cutting, taping, heating or trimming. Looks perfect and it cost $38.
I have been trying to wrap some tail lights on a 2018 charger with the Vvivid matte black and i must really suck or the vinyl sucks because it continues to mess up lol, excellent work man!
Just ordered some of the light smoke tint thanks to this video, I saw the old one you did on the bmw a while ago but this one made me pull the trigger.
Thanks I did DIY and almost came out great for a 1st timer My question how much do you leave on the edges so the vinyl wraps around the light? I cut to near the edge and noticed the following day started to peel back Any suggestions?
Thank you for the tutorial, about to try on my car... again... the 18 Sonic Hatchback is a very challenging taillights to wrap... tried dip but hated the matte finish and tore it off.
Great job as usual, but I had a question, you see how once you have tinted the tail light, that shade of red looks super nice, do you have that exact same color available in a car wrap? That color looks super nice.
You make it look easy. I tried this on a Ford Fiesta MK7 that was impossible to get it perfect without all the lines and bubbles, so i gave up after 1 hour of fighting and pain in the hands. But i had the taillights off, of the car. So that may explain it.
I use VViViD Transparent Dry Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap with VHT (SP999-6 PK Black Nite-Shade Lens Tint - 10 oz. Aerosol. The VHT allows you to adjust the tint level & the vinyl sets it apart from anything I've seen before. Because it's dry carbon it's perfect for satin & matte color schemes.
Rt on brother I liked your video a lot better than some of the ones I've seen it helped when I tinted my tail lights on my Cadillac CTS. Keep up the good work

he sounds and looks like him
Somehow tom brady makes millions and I'd say tom Brady is more humble than this guy.
Voice is similar looks nothing like him though

Can’t wait to try. I’m gonna use the hex light film and cut around for my reverse lights to be as clear as possible. Keep up the great work. 💪💯

So I watched your vids and did my tail lights. It was amazingly easy after watching your vid and the air release tint was great.

Just used the video and wrapped the taillights of my 22 Impreza. Would never have made it around those tight turns without this video.
You got mad skills, love watching a Master at work.
The Late Model Tech. He is far from a master. Just a little above average when it comes to this stuff

Good god that looks good!!! The entire car does.
Thanks Christian great work!!
APA air release light film is also excellent.. great vid
Awesome, need to try this on mine!
Damn, I'm learning a lot of technique from you.
Just ordered some of the light smoke tint thanks to this video, I saw the old one you did on the bmw a while ago but this one made me pull the trigger.
Robbie Allen where can we order some at. Please send me link. Thanks!
Baby D510 directly from Vvivids website, it’s listed under headlight tint.
Thanks
I did DIY and almost came out great for a 1st timer
My question how much do you leave on the edges so the vinyl wraps around the light?
I cut to near the edge and noticed the following day started to peel back
Any suggestions?
Love the dark red candy look
Awesome video thanks man 🤙🤙🤙

I have one done, this was a nightmare man, you impress the shit out of me lol
like always great job!! do you have a video on removing tint? is it just like colorchange vinyl?
that is awesome information,

I use VViViD Transparent Dry Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap with VHT (SP999-6 PK Black Nite-Shade Lens Tint - 10 oz. Aerosol.
The VHT allows you to adjust the tint level & the vinyl sets it apart from anything I've seen before. Because it's dry carbon it's perfect for satin & matte color schemes.

That's what you call passionate about something cool dude
Wow, the light smoke looks soooooooo much better than the darker tint imo. Unless you have black car, of course :p
Great job brother 👍👍👍👍
I love the content of your channel
Really brilliant video I thinking of wrapping my vauxhall mokka lights 🥺
Very nice job👍
Thanks for sharing…you got a like and subscribed.
That looks very nice, and cheaper than a set of new smoked taillights.
Great video. Been looking for a really good tint film, think I may of just found it
You won't be disappointed. Just take your time with it.
Thanks buddy you're the best
Bro the tail late is amazing
Looks Awesome
Excellent job
Looks great!!!!
Mine just came in today just in time to install mine
Can you do a light zoomed in a bit Right at the light so we see a little more detail of what the material can do while your installing?
