Looking to order my first lot of film



Custom Search

I am at a point where I am going to order my first lot of film. This is for automotive and I am looking at starting out with 40 inch rolls. I am in FL so what is the best say 3 or 4 VLTs to purchase to start my inventory? I have been playing with suntek but would be interested in checking out other brands if the pricing is right. Mainly I am wanting to order what will sell as this is my first real investment.
Mr paladin
I would not make a big order until you have tried a few brands and know what film you like.

i do know that in my first order through suntek, there are a 20% discount on account first orders, yet this one about 6 years ago. we use suntek carbon, and global qdp for trucks. we get suntek 40" rolls from 55%,35,18, and 5%. in global we get only use 20% and 5% for trucks and we get that film in a 60" roll cut down 24/24/12. global is a good film and the price is great. you also must consider globals price to is 10% better than all others since they give you 10% more film on the roll.

I will have to hit them up and see what the deal is and try it out.

thats interesting. well only time will tell how the stuff last. i know SP doesnt last but about 2 years b4 the back glass is grainy. and the doors loose that shine that SP has within that time also. anyone can defend it, but i know thats how it is over here at least.
blade
well....silhouette will last 8+ years up here so if marathon is as good as it then i'm golden. Flaugh.gif

Snappy, why do you use a different brand of film on trucks?

solar free is always -- bucks for any 20" roll and its not even a special... but they do have specials on some occasions (i think when they have overstock).

watch over for sunguard tho... pay heed to the current rumors that roaming regarding sunguard aka solamatrix.

everyone likes their own films dunno.gif honestly there haven't been a lot of films that have gone through my hands that i didn't like lol2.gif i didn't like suntek standard, black lavas inside color, SG's nr smoke workability, thats all I can think of right now.

everything else I've liked and used for at least a little period of time
