Ryker Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I did an S-10 strip once for a particular customer that wanted it to only come done 4 inches on the sides. He also wanted the "down curve" which was the factory edge on the bottom. Well with the curve of the windshield it came to be about 1 inch or maybe 1.5 inches in the middle of it......pretty worthless IMO but the customer made his request to me and I did it.... BTW....he loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tint_detective Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 Most of the strips I do hae the 'down curve'. I put it just below the mirror button, no complaints yet......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryker Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 hand cut bottom edge to follow factory curve......personal preference and a bit more technical....not everyone can cut a nice smooth line.... sets me off from any competition around here hate doing them though and no matter what charged it never seems enough.....can do a back glass in about the same time....bit more film but time is more to me.....

RICHat22 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 if someone does request to follow curve, I have a technique I use to do it quickly. Usually I just cut 60" pieces by 3 off a 20". we have a 6 inch law here. quick and easy if they dont listen after I tell them they don't want one.

Ryker Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 cutting is the curve isn't that big of deal. It is the cleaning of a whole windshield when you only tint the 6inches or so.....and that has to be one of the nastiest glasses on a car...... rather be doing a back glass or 2 doors anyday.....

Guest solarspot Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 yep I hate them like lildetails said cant ever charge enough but not good enough to free hand the bottom edge yet that would make it a little easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exact-Oh Posted July 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2006 Here's the pics. The first one is from the top left of the windshield, and easier to see than the second, which is taken from the front of the car. It's tough to see that micro-strip at the top.
