I am about to start with a clearbra business and befor I sink $30000 into it I would love to ask a few questions if you dont mind.

Is there any type of training available from a manufacturer?

The machine that cuts the film, can it be portable or will it have to be mounted in one place?

Have any of you had any experience with this product ?

lot of questions for a newbi huh...

Listen Nubee, don't let any one dissway you from PPF. If you don't have the clients who race their lease Porches on the weekend, figure that I see folks dish more money to PPF the rear impact area of a new commuter :thumb box than the majority of tinters get to tint a new Altima w/ hp metal film. Not bad for 20 min's & a scrap of waste Clearshield / Scotchgard PPF... building the awareness of this service in your area will require some time though...also it's an advantage to have window film or Scotchcal experience in your background to master this field & a strong stomach

Why put $30000 into something you have no experience with? Start with buying precut kits and teach yourself how to do it. The companies that sell the film have training, and everything you need to get started, try it out before you invest so much money. It's not as easy as it looks and you will need a Plotter, the software..not just one you'll need at least two programs , the film, tools and a lot of patience. Right now the PPF market is slow, not many people know about PPF or want to spend the money for it. So save your money and start small if it's something you want to do.

I agree its not as eazy as it looks... :lol2 Its like tinting...looks real eazy, till you do it. :beer

I have never used a pre-cut. everything I do is bulk roll and free hand cut. Thats how I learned.

I dont think they had pre-cuts when I started... :lol2 It was a couple of years later.

:lol2

      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!
