Funny D.A. customer story

[TINT]

What the heck? A body shop busting your chops about not matching aged film?!??!??!?

If anyone should know you can't match aged film is a body shop!

Ask them if they can match aged paint! No they cannot.

Asshats.

The manager at the body shop is actually being cool about the whole thing. He is just giving me the feedback that he is getting from the customer. Both him and me agree that we all have jerkoff customers.

we're also supposed to magically make our tint turn purple on request

if you would just use the right brand SIR, some is purple right out o the box

[Exact-Oh]

Oh yeah, I have some extremely old boxes of film on the shelf that are purple on the roll. I did use this tactic when doing a single window job for a different body shop last summer on a '78 Wrangler that was very purple on all other windows. I didn't feel this guy's '90 something Tahoe was quite bad enough to warrant that though.

thats funny

I found an old roll of courtolds window film aka lulu just real old,

the liner had fingered all over and it was purple off the roll

boy I love old film

[Exact-Oh]

Even with some of the newer film I have, I have had the liner finger. That only happens if I have a bunch of extra film from a cut-off, and roll it with the liner in. It's like the liner has too much extra stress on it that way and it fingers up in less than a couple days, especially if it's a little wet when I roll it up.

all you really need is a fresh roll of Johnsons....as good as PuRplE
