When you ask for a price to tint your whole car / truck , I know most of you out there know this ..but this if for the 0.5% that don't . THE WINDSHIELD IS NOT PART OF THE PRICE ! (I'm not refering to a sunstrip)...the whole thing. It's illegal. Period.

I have this happen about once a year. I tint a car and argue when the customer comes back to pick up car that I should have told him that the windshield wasn't part of the deal...since it's such a rare occurance, We don't mention it on the phone when discussing the job because the bulk of customers know this. That's all , have a nice day :thumb

I get that alot too!! :lol I always tell them it's against federal law for me to do it and for them to have it, and although I like them as a customer I refuse to get get a fine and go to jail for them. Usually stops the whinning on the spot.

yep, it's not uncommon. I usually get 3-4 a year that expected the windshield to be done.

I get A BUNCH of people that assume the eyebrow is included in the price.

Tell me you are joshin' TW. They actually expect the windscreen to be done? Un-bloody believable.

Devil

:uh Devil...don't get me wrong..I know how to get myself out of a jam in that situation ...it's just ridiculous that it's even an issue sometimes..I did an awsome job on his car ...and all he can go on about is how the car doesn't look complete without the windshield done and I misrepresented himself by telling him $--- for a complete job...after going on about the law,safety issues, bla,bla,bla..I told him if he thinks I'm so dishonest ..phone 10 other shops and ask how much for a complete job on his car...after they give him the price, then proceed to ask if that price includes the whole windshield completed as well. YOU WILL GET 10 OUT OF 10 TINTERS THAT SAY NO ! That shut him up...but you know HE still felt ripped off . What's a tinter to do :lol

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Since there is no limit of darkness on the top strip, I have wanted to tint it. But I would go very dark, to help with sun glare in the evening.

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Yeah that’s a very fair point to a degree I’m probably overthinking it. I don’t see really significant glare reduction until you get into much darker tint. Like you I think visibility for me is more important living in the country. I’ll probably see what the specs list the differences between 70% and 80% and then double check with the tinter as to what they recommend. Likely will end up with 70% with a strip along the top. Air80 seems to be much more popular, not sure if it’s due to performance or the difference in cost being so much more for the stratos. thank you

      Process

      Hey guys - so I work for a vinyl graphics company that is adding window tinting to their repertoire and I had a question about your guys' ideal process. I have my plotter set up and my window tinting software ready to go, but I am completely ignorant about the way that tint installers prefer that things be cut. Currently, I will plot/weed the tint and cut the backing away as much as I dare before handing it over to the installer. I was thinking that the installer would prefer the tint to be cut to shape which I believe I can achieve with the perf cut on my plotter. Is that the typical process or should I not be worried so much about it being cut to exact shape?

      Air80 vs Stratos70 Windshield

      Im in TX, plenty of of what you mentioned. While I do sit higher in an SUV, glare reduction is not improved much at all with what I have. My 80% is almost clear, not dark at all. With all tint, it adds a bit of reflectivity from the outside, which I notice makes it slightly harder to see from the outside looking in, in the form of a glare not darkness. At the end of the day, it's not permanent, it's only money!

      Boat window tinting tips

      The answer is to not heat that area too much so that you leave some slack in the film for when you get it to the inside. Also cut your pattern a little large so that you can trim a thread off the edges after shrinking to not have a furled edge. After you do a few of those you'll figure out how much to leave/trim to not have any light gaps. Also I'll leave a hardcard wrapped in a microfiber in the bottom overnight to collect water and keep pressure on the film while it dries. Sometimes you can take the top rail off the glass if the jackwagon boat builder didn't put too much pressure on the glass package when it was installed. If you pull the rail off of a tight package it's a pita to get back on, looking like it could crack the whole time. Congrats on getting it done. I've seen plenty that couldn't, which is why I price them like I do.

      Boat window tinting tips

      Thx everyone for the tips the install went fine, however i did run into a new problem on the main curve of the glass from thr outside the tint would lay flat on the big curve but when applying it seemed like there was too much tension and it would not stay down i ended up heating it up and flattening down but some of that area got overheated and warped a little, if you know how to tackle this problem please help me thank you!
