Default Another Tint Question...

From reading the archives, it looks like tinting the rear window is basically a PITA and you need to find an installer that really knows what they are doing. I have also seen mention of painting the windows, but found no reference to how to do it, what to use, etc.

I am in Houston, TX. You just can't live around here without tint - too hot, too much sun. I am open to other suggestions, but I think that tint is how I want to go. Can anyone recommend a shop in Houston that can handle tinting the Z?

Thanks.

Have you thought about adding a screen to the rear window?

No problems with the bubbling on the dots? That's way up there for me (down in Missouri City, near Sugarland) but if they can do it right, it is worth the trip...
