Re: Spraying DOT Matrix on back glass I had a VERY good window tinter do mine in Pensacola, FL when I lived there using 3M tint and he went right over the dots and there isn't a bubble to be found <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> I'll bet I'm one of the only ones in the country with tint this smooth.
It *can* be done you just need to find someone who says they can do it, one piece of course, and can get it done like you want it. I highly recommend 3M tint too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
Too bad you don't live near FL.

Unless they stopped dying the tint I would try to avoid using it. My buddy uses Solorgaurd tint now at the shop I used to workand I have it on my car and I am very happy with it. Again not trying to knock um just letting you now what happened with 3M in the past......Scott
