    I have a 91 Honda Accord, which I have had since it was brand new. I had it tinted from the dealer right off the lot. I have since seen it turn a nasty shade of purple along with some bubbles in it!!!!!! It has become a nuisance to drive and trying to see through the bubbles and blurriness is hard to navigate.

    What can I do to fix or change this????!

    The reason tint turns purple and bubbles is not installer error it is the quality of film used. The bottom line is this A dyed window film will get bleached out by the sun over time. As this happens the tint will stop rejecting the suns rays and allow for them to pass through/absorb. When this happens the tint turns purple and as this continues the films glue starts to dry rot in turn causing the unsightly bubbles. The only way to fix this is buy the right window film. A metalized film will not fade and or turn purple. There are shops out there doing tint for really cheap prices and you get what you pay for. Make sure you get the most bang for your buck and get a quality window film from a reputable shop that actually can back up the warranty. Touch of Shade does use LLumar window tinting films that are metalized and come with a lifetime guarantee from not only Touch of Shade but the manufacture of the window tint as well. The choice for window tint is simple in Colorado Springs. A shop like Touch of Shade that is an authorized dealer of high quality window tint.

    Touch of Shade is only using Metalized tint films that carry a true lifetime warranty. Allot of shops claim warranty's but Touch of Shade gives you one. LLumar is the largest manufacture of tint products in the world and have been around for over 30 years. Not only does Touch of shade stand behind their work but LLumar does as well so if you move out of town you still can get a warranty with any authorized LLumar dealer in the U.S.
