scotty, before home depot decks did not exist unless you paid someone?

:thumb wow does everyone pick apart every single thing I say on here. Its just a generalized statement. VT said a similar thing with the auto parts and other stuff.

mr. valuetint, do you sell film to people who do not have a business liscense?

Yes, anyone can buy from them, but you need 594 posts on Tintdude.com to purchase from them.. :thumbhttp://www.valuetint.com/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx Great film and excellent CX service. I can only speak of the Sirius II 35% which feels thick when your doing your top cuts (1.5 mil)and has a slight brown hue to it.

Yes.. Thanks Valuetint for selling direct to consumer :beer

I agree, I never intended to sell to the direct public, it has always been our business model to sell to experienced tinters. We are looking for a way qualify a prospect before he has access to film pricing. My humble apologies, we will try to change things as soon as we can.

maybe a business liscense would be your first clue that you weren't selling directly to just anyone. call me crazy, but how about a set minimum for the first film order? I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as you so why not?

hondabuff, I've no interest in purchasing valuetint. I just wanted to know if he would sell to anyone. evidently he will.

Do it your self'ers are buying from Ebay and Autozone. Most of the other big names dont need a minimum order either. After I did some leg work searching the web, there are alot of window film suppliers all over the web. I think VT's bussiness model is fine the way it is. Ok, here is a question for everyone... If you could purchase Lumar/SG/Lumar/Global/Suntek factory direct and save 35-40% by not going through a dist,,,,,,would you??? What are the pros of using a dist??

I don't think distributors of professional grade window film should sell to just anyone.....HOWEVER....if they do, what are the chances of Average Joe installing it correctly? Who cares if You want to install Your own film? If Your happy with an overlapping two piece back window....FINE....but then again...why did You delete the pics if Your so proud of Your install? :beer

Why on Gods green earth would I seam the back window. It takes 1000% more skill to seam a back window then it is to heat shrink a back window. Get over it..its one piece. Why cant the Factory be the dist and cut out the middle man and save you money. Professional grade film is as only good as the person installing it. :beer

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      Wet shrinking has advantages but it also has limitations. I'd learn a good dry shrink technique, then follow up with a wet check. You can get a lot more shrink into a piece doing it dry with a lot less stress on the film.

      Wet shrinking problems with certain windows

      hey everyone today i was tinting a BMW front windshield i don't remember which model. Anyways while shrinking fingers closer to the side edge it seems like it will end up creasing while i follow the wet shrinking process. I would like to learn how to fix this or get around it i also would like to stick to wet shrinking heres a video to see what happened and fyi this doesn't happen to me with every vehicle https://www.kapwing.com/videos/663028c4f4e49a37cd3b9eed. THANKS

      High speed material feed

      The Graphtech plotters are all about the same from 7000 to 8600. I doubt that the machine was the problem If changing software fixed the issue.

      High speed material feed

      Update to this.... We were using a Graphtec FC7000-100 plotter and the Digi Cut software and the machine wouldn't work correctly. We contacted Digi and they did a live modification on our software which solved the issue. Strange thing, the plotter would still never cut through the pattern consistently. (parts would cut totally through and parts would not cut even through the film) We switched to Core and instantly everything cut 100% consistent and without need for software modification. Perhaps if we had a newer plotter than the FC7000 perhaps the Digi would work as expected ??? Dunno

      Hi Bobby, sorry for the confusion, the makes and models section here is for tinting windows, not performance related.

      What is an established commercial/residential business worth?

      I sold my business in '96 that had as assets: tools and inventory and goodwill. I bought it 2.5 years earlier for 5k. It had a gross sales # around 30K and very little goodwill since the owner only worked it part time. In the 2.5 years I ran the company, gross sales went from 30K upward to 177K as a one person operation. To be fair, the final year @ 177K included an installation sale involving 35K sq ft. Still I increased the gross from 30K to 100K under my direction in the 2.5 years of ownership. I sold the business in a short sale for 10K because I landed a corporate job at a film manufacturing company. I lacked the desire to further expand the business, but it was considered reputable even by my competitors. One of them bought it. Don't know if that helps but, maybe you'll find this helpful in determining the goodwill of the one you are considering buying. https://www.freshbooks.com/hub/accounting/calculate-goodwill
