Exact-Oh Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 As a tinter, I wouldn't even consider purchasing pre-cut film. Dang, the cutting takes up less than 1/3 the job's time, and it is easier than shrinking and applying, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest walestint Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 surely would take longer to cut on a plotter IMO there nothing like getting a film off a roll onto a curve, standing back and saying, f**k that looks good.. cant believe on ebay they sell tint to fit cars, no mention of the skill required to install, and people go for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exact-Oh Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 I'm sure someone (not me of course) is raking in the bucks with that little scam. I would be more inclined to cut the stuff myself, and pay someone to install it... no more getting into vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LickMyTints Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 As a tinter the only pre cut tint kits you would want to use are your own. [*]331660 no kits around here.....maybe a plotter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zolar Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 I dont know about pre-cut kits-but I use a plotter and FilmDesigns software that does a great job of cutting patterns-all depends on who is putting the patterns on the data base!

Guest tint rookie Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 you guys didnt know that every car comes off the lot with a pattern for you to use? they are tricky to find though. get a flashlight, with the windows down look between the two pieces of rubber, there between the two pieces of sheet metal is your pattern.

I cant find 'em on gOOgle [*]332047 Distributed thru the internet by American Filter Film 1-800-888-2256.Talk to Brett .These guys work this program-they update almost daily-you have a problem-you call-5 minutes max-its handled!If a pattern is wrong-which I havent ran across one in over a year-they fix immediately.All these systems are only as good as the person running the computer and the pattern maker.These guys are /were tinters-so they know how to cut patterns-I personally cut patterns also on things out of the ordinary that they will add to the data base. Theyve got a good thing going and its made my life sooo much easier! I hand cut thousands of cars in 19 years and I still handcut the back glass-so its not like it eliminated the olfa! But it does save time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
