I went to CPFilms in Martinsville. Very worth it to me.

not saying you wont learn anything but best teacher is ALWAYS hands on

I agree with you, but IMO, the course at CPF was very informative and very hands on. We literally spent about 3 hrs total in the class room over 4 days. The rest of the time was hands on cutting, shrinking, and working with tint. here's a link to the photos I took the last day of class. notice all the backglass pieces available for practice. http://s5.photobucket.com/albums/y161/JRock10/CPFilms/

  What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
  
  Gross 50-60? You could find that kind of revenue picking up cans. Whatever you're about to spend should be spent to market your own brand unless I'm reading this wrong.

  What is an established commercial/residential business worth?
  
  Looking to buy an established commercial/residential business. The company has grossed about 50-60k annually for the past few years. There's not really anything as far as assets go. So I'd basically be buying the phone number and 25+ years of being an established business. Just trying to get an idea of what I should be paying! Thanks in advance!!

  I created an account just to respond here. I'm not a "tinter" or whatever yall may call yourselves but I came across this product and thought that it looked pretty cool and something I could do myself. I ordered from Lazeway and spent like $150 for two packages. The product is from China although they claim all this America stuff on the website. All i received was two simple rolls of tint, nothing special. I was totally scammed and now I'm looking all over the internet for anyone talking about this product to let them know. Dont buy from them.

  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?
