I was fortunate enough to be able to swap tails with another Magnum owner who was parting out his car. I did read a thread hear before on a walk-through of tinting. It looks like theirs turned out really well. Shout out to Steve the Boss for the write up. His Mag looks sick!!!!

I used adhesive promoter (pepboys) (1-2 coats) then the VHT (5-10 coats), waited 10 minutes between coats when I did my eyebrows.
No sanding required (not before either, no need to prep when using adhesive promoter)
A few days later and once every couple of months I apply a coat of Black turtle wax on the tint to make it shine and to protect it.
