Where to purchase window tint for DIY

I am looking to tint my trusty 2010, but it seems that you can’t just outright purchase rolls of name-brand tint very easily. 3M, Llumar… they all require you to be an installer to make a purchase.

I know this is probably a long shot, but does anyone have a good connection with a tinter/company that would sell me a roll of the good stuff? My brain won’t allow me to pay for something if I know can do it myself, and I’ve been known to spend more than it costs just to be able to DIY something.

The tint on Amazon and walmart is garbage, and the listings on eBay are not guaranteed authentic, and from what I’m told, they are not authentic.

This is frustrating and I don’t understand it, but if you know anyone who can help me, please reply. Thanks!

 

My understanding of the tint that is currently available on eBay is that it is all misrepresented, and I’m inclined to believe it. Several of the sellers are advertising VLT% on products that the companies don’t even manufacture it with. Sadly, there’s no way to verify that what you’re getting is what they’re advertising it as because there’s no manufacturer logos or labeling on the tint itself, only the boxes it comes in, and no one is offering it in the box. All the best tints are not allowed to legally be sold on places like eBay, so in order for someone to do it, they would be risking getting someone in big trouble.

I’m just frustrated that I can’t get top quality tint without being an installer. I refuse to give up this search, though. Eventually, someone will help me out.

I hope.
