I guess it all depends......If You want QUALITY installs, You need a quality Tinter. And 12 bux an hour equals out to $480.00 a week. No thank You very much.

hell no I'd do piece work if I was working for somebody and doing that many cars. At least $70 a car which would be about 35% commision in this area. Do the math, thats over 3 bills a day for that many cars. That is what leads to employee dishonesty being paid like that.

employee should get payed well, then he'll earn you some money too and not steel from you

feeling of being used (as in underpayed) is a horrible motivator, but a good comision is great

even if he's slow he'll soon be trying to get faster (if quality is a problem that's another thing)

your in cali-fort lauderdale and miami customers can get a whole car tinted for $35 at the flee markets [no joke cut and slap with the door windows up] with china made tint [1 ply-dye in the adhesive]

we have to fight for $160 -$200 a car here with installers who have been tinting for 12-20 years and thats with 3m and llumar films.

the most a piece work tinter makes in fort lauderdale is $20-$25 a car and theres plenty of them here that can do 8 cars a day with the plotter and mint installs with filed window edges-their a dime a dozen-sad but all so true.

TINT WORLD in broward [7 locations] only pays their tinters $100 aday [9-1/2 hours] and pushes them to film at least 6 cars a day each or your out the door and the next day some one eles is in your spot.

IF your really good-you might make $200 a day at a shop like ours but your going to still work at least 60 hours a week.

THE FLEE MARKETS pay the illegal tinters 45-60 a day-legal shops pay 100 a day.

NO way a car tinter is making more than $100 a day or 70 a car when they only charge 35-100 a car.

35% is really good for a good shop. but the tinter needs to be able to put out alot of work. $1 per square foot comm flat glass, but it needs to be more when it comes to res. since it takes alot longer to get the footage on a house compared to a building. salary is good if you willing to pay a tinter at least $800 a week. its not bad when u get a $4g week and it only cost you $800 + material. other wise it would cost $1,400 + material...then again, it all depends on the tinter, the production of the shop, and the production that the tinter can push out.

sounds like you need to move if you're making that kind of money

I'd rather take the day off then go to work for $100/day

      Removable rigid window tint sheets - WTF?

      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?

      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!
