Don't waste your time or money.

I've used the tint from "Gila" and others when I was younger, cheaper, and
more ignorant. Sure, you can apply it neatly, and make it look professional
for about 6 months.

Then the cheap dyes, and poor adhesives come back to haunt you. Soon you
have lavender windows, with bubbles and wide seams. Then the corners start
to peel, and the adhesive is left on your glass. Ugh.

Save your $$$ and have a pro apply top-notch quality film. 3M makes good
film, as do a few others. Look for 'sputtered' film, as this doesn't use
dyes, which can fade, but instead uses a molecular coating of metal, which
is permanent. It is well worth the $$ to have a pro do it with great
materials.
