how about other color? or the problem with this particular brand?

how long already?
personally I never had my tints change colour like this. NEVER. The only time I replace them is usually when they are too old and start to ripple. |

Hard to comment because there are simply too many tint brands on the market. I guess the one you installed just isnt too good. The shop sounds unresponsible! Did they warn/inform you that the tint colour will fade after 6-8 months? |

the only good gold dust is the original V-kool... that also fade after 7-8 years. this is due to the oxidation of the metal film inside. other brands? ask yourself how much you paid for this. compare it with the original golddust.
this is why nowadays people go for ceramic films. |

That guy got offer at rm180, but I clearly said I want gold color tint.But to me, colour fade/change after 3 months is unacceptable. Must be very very poor quality dyed tint paper. He gave a price of rm250. I really how the tint pricing in market and they giving huge discount. The problem was the warranty given is not fair. They have stated warranty for fading. But when I went back to the shop they said fading in patches got warrantym Is this such thing in tinting industry? QUOTE(theanswer @ Mar 13 2013, 11:13 AM) Just wonder about other colors. Will it be the same even with the entry level tint?QUOTE(ocphangaz @ Mar 13 2013, 11:18 AM) the only good gold dust is the original V-kool... that also fade after 7-8 years. this is due to the oxidation of the metal film inside. other brands? ask yourself how much you paid for this. compare it with the original golddust. This tint's brand which I used, sure many of u know it. this is why nowadays people go for ceramic films. They do industrial tinting too and have quiet a lot of franching shops. Could it be a fault play by this particular shop or just a scam of the brand itself? |

well u have 2 options now
1. complaint at consumer tribunal and force this shop to honour the warranty 2. learn from lesson, and blacklist this shop forever I'm no expert, but from what I know tints have cheap type and good type. and then there are expensive type. cheap ones are usually just dyed films. the good type are metallic. finally those special ones are ceramic, if not mistaken. I usually use metallic as they seem to offer the best balance between sun protection and cost. I usually change my films about 7 years in average (from memory) due to ripples (uneven, not smooth anymore) |
