+1 for great service by Rob at Hunters Hill Window Tinting. Did an excellent job, great guy.

I know there's been a lot of recommendation for specific tinters in Brissy and Sydney, however, there hasn't been many recommendations in Melbourne for the Mk7.

Has anyone in Melbourne with the rear tinted windows manage to find someone who does the colour match, small front window and finish quality well?

^ I went to tint professor (I think) in Hoppers Crosssing. When I first picked up the car the little triangle weren't done so I made a point that the booking lady said 'ALL windows' were to be tinted, so back in the car went and got them done. I couldn't stand those little window not being tinted so I'm glad I pushed the point. With regards to matching, I got them to put there darkest legal tint all round and the result was great. I quite like the front's being a little lighter than the rears. Very happy with the overall finish.

Thanks for the report. A little far for me, especially if there is a potential I have to return. Great to know there are more people available in Vic who can do the lil window.

What tint make and model did you use?

Resurrecting an old thread. Anyone have any recommendations for someone who can do a Golf Highline with the Rline package (which means the read coloured windows...) in Melbourne? I'm based out by the showgrounds, so would prefer something out that way.

I contacted cartint.com.au (based in Ringwood) and they told me not to bother as they couldn't do the quarter window, which I thought was a bit odd as I know others who have done it.

I've read this thread in its entirety. From what I gather, Rob in Sydney is the best to deal with and he really knows his craft. As tshow also asked, do we have a Rob in Melbourne?

Hi ACID, how is your tint holding up? Would you still recommend them? I checked their website but Hoppers Crossing wasn't listed as one of their location. Did they close down? Also, which specific product did you go with and how much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

Rob in Melbourne is most likely Rob Tait, owner of Car Tint in Ringwood and founder of the Victorian wrx/sti club

Thanks dannys87. The Robs seem to be dominating in the tinting scene. I presume your cars are tinted by him? I also presume he is good if you're throwing his name out there? Could you share what price you paid and which product you went for?

I think the question was rather 'is there an equivalent of Sydney's Rob [that will tint Golfs and do a great job] in Melbourne'?

You nailed it AdamD! That was exactly what I was asking and I thought who knew it was another man named Rob. I guess not since he doesn't do the little front windows. Must have been my poor grade 1 grammar that got lost in translation

The hunt continues for the Rob equivalent in Melbourne or at least someone who will tint Golfs without any complaint for a good price of course.
