Got my car tinted and the DOT MATRIX....

Looks like the rest of the window...BLACK The guy sanded the dots down and then tinted and you cant even see them...I just hope it stays like that. I got 20% Johnson all around and it was 180 out the door. LOOK FAWKING BAD!! I will take pics once it stops raining

So the dots are completely gone now? I didn't know you could do that. I'd like to see those pics.

I didnt know either till he told me thats what he was going to do. I will get some pics ASAP. I tried the radio and it still works but I havent tried the rear defroster...they told me to not use it right away so the tint can have time to set. So I will try it later cuz thats the only concern I have...and if they fucked that up...the will be buying me a new one, but he assured me that it was ok. He also thinks it will say like that...I hope it will cuz it looks great!!!

Ok just went and looked at it real quick since it stoped raining...its not 100% perfect jet black but its a lot better than I have seen...we will have to wait and see it it stays like that. I will try to get a quick pic of it and scan it tonight.

I had the dots in mine sanded and it didn't cause a problem with the radio or defroster. At first I freaked out but he said it was ok to sand it. Mine was done in winter and no problems with tint.

when you sand the dots are they completely gone? or it just makes it a flat surface to tint over?

The dots are still there. Sanding just makes the layer thinner so there is less chance of bubbles and peeling.
