Pay Scale for Tinters

[TINTZEUS]

^{A quality installer will earn what the local market will bear. That's it.}

 

^{I'd say between 25,000 and 150,000 a year as an installer is fair.  Depending on skill level and location. That's as an employee.}

[Ocala]

From 25,000-150,000 is a hell of a range. The one's only making 25g's would be better off at a fast food joint and the one's making towards the 150's better be high pressure salesman/owners that can sell stuff such as dentures to people with perfectly good teeth.

When I worked as an auto installer with 10 years experience for a 7 badge dealership in Ft Myers back in 1990, I was paid $12/hour plus $10/per full car tint. This translated into anywhere from $16-18/hour depending on the number of full tints done in a day.

 

Yep, that's 26 years ago... ask 'em to be realistic now that your skills have improved.

Back in my early days, I worked in South Fla at a shop that paid salary plus % of the car. If I remember correctly it was 200-250.00 per week plus 35% of the ticket. Back in those days it was not uncommon for me to earn 2000.00 per week. .. That was almost 30 years ago.

If your tinter can't make 50 bucks a car+ then you are not charging enough.
