At Kartal Auto, we recently had the honor of completing a professional tinting job for a vintage Rolls-Royce Phantom I, a vehicle renowned for its timeless elegance. While tinting can significantly enhance both the aesthetics and comfort of any car, it’s also essential to ensure that the process is executed flawlessly, especially for a classic like the Phantom I. During the tinting procedure, we encountered a few issues that needed attention. Here’s a breakdown of those issues and the solutions we provided to ensure the vehicle’s continued luxury and performance.
Issue Found:
1. Issue: Existing Window Film Adhesion Problems
- Problem: Upon removing the old window tint from the Phantom I’s windows, we discovered that the adhesive residue had been poorly applied or had deteriorated over time. This left stubborn glue remnants on the glass, which could interfere with the application of the new tint.
- Solution: Our technicians used a specialized adhesive remover to safely eliminate all traces of the old adhesive. After thoroughly cleaning and prepping the glass, we applied the new high-quality window film, ensuring a smooth and flawless adhesion to the glass.
2. Issue: Uneven Window Tint Coverage
- Problem: After completing the tinting, we observed that some windows had uneven coverage, particularly around the edges, where the tint film didn’t fully adhere, resulting in an inconsistent finish.
- Solution: To rectify this, we carefully re-applied the tint on the affected windows, ensuring that the film was correctly aligned and uniformly applied across the surface. We paid extra attention to the edges and corners, where it’s more difficult to achieve a seamless finish. The result was a smooth, evenly applied tint across all windows.
3. Issue: Slight Bubbles in the Film
- Problem: In certain areas, small bubbles appeared under the tint after installation. While this is a common issue with window tinting, it is especially noticeable on large windows like those of the Phantom I, which have complex curves and edges.
- Solution: We took immediate action to remove the bubbles by carefully re-heat shrinking the film and using a soft squeegee to push out any trapped air. Once the bubbles were removed, we allowed the tint to cure fully, ensuring a perfect, smooth finish.
4. Issue: Tinted Film Compatibility with Classic Window Seals
- Problem: The Phantom I, being a classic car, has older window seals that could be more prone to wear and tear. Applying tint film near these seals without damaging them can be a challenge, as they are often more brittle and delicate compared to newer cars.
- Solution: To protect the window seals during the tinting process, our team used precision tools to carefully cut the tint around the seals without touching or damaging them. We ensured the film was applied as close to the edge as possible without compromising the integrity of the seals, maintaining both functionality and aesthetics.
5. Issue: Tint Shade Not Aligned with Client’s Expectations
- Problem: After completing the tinting, the client expressed that the tint shade didn’t quite match their original expectations. They were seeking a darker, more subtle appearance that would complement the luxury of the Phantom I’s exterior.
- Solution: We consulted with the client to better understand their preferences and offered to replace the existing tint with a darker shade. After their approval, we reinstalled a premium, darker window film that matched the client’s vision, ensuring a perfect balance between style and functionality.
