Get It Darker
HI guys and gals! I run a small shop out of my garage and mainly use 5%(alot of 5%) just on rear doors and rear windshields tho! I don't charge a lot per car, but bang out some really nice work! I get many referals and mainly stick to 1 car/day since i do have my regualr job. My main question is which film is the Best for its value? I can only used Life-Time Warranty film, I was leaning towards ASWF, but i rather get some imput from you before i make my decision. beer.gif I really liked the Sirius 5% but they no longer sell it 40x100, i did some research on here but really had no straight answer.

Thanks for any help/advice!

I also run a small tint shop, and only do work in my spare time. If you want to try a good film with a good price and with a lifetime warranty, try True black from express films. Check it out at www.buytint.com you can get 40x100 roll for $---.00. Another good choice is Global express window films, I hear that the HP film line is top notch, i am going to start using some of the Quick dry plus which is non-metalized film like the TB. Great prices with awesome quality!

I'm still undecided on aswf, but as of right now I would say to stay away. I tried their performer series yesterday on two rolls ups, and for an HP film it seemed extremely thin. Not exactly a good thing in my book. Plus, for a new startup company their prices are pretty high.

and like above me, I would use True Black. its my "main line" film, and I buy a lot of it. I REALLY like it, especially for the price.

Johnsons MN05 is a great lifetime film. Their 5% is a true %5 and they stand behind their warranty. beer.gif

For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
