Damn scotty! Thats why the %&$# says Im also selling .................. So the auction is pretty much jsut for Llumar films not just 20in even though that is what he put at the top.

You would still find it if you typed in Llumar to the search.

Enough said.

I used to be a die hard Llumar tinter, honestly I find using global and solar gard easier to work with, sun tek is the same film as llumar except a little cheaper. ive honestly found llumar is just good for there reputation, but I will say its still a good film, the clarity is awesome, but I have seen problems with the atc and stealth turning purple, my rep told me they have worked out some of the problems and over the last 2 years I havent had any turning purple yet, I have had atr5 double layeredfor 7 years on my silverado in floridas hot summers, and still havent had a problem, my entire windshield was done in 35percent with limo strip and I finally had a little bubbling so we re-did the windshield. other than that its a good film, and its not that expensive, I spend $400 a week with them on average, which looking at im in florida and its endless tinting ear round makes since why I get the film cheaper,

I would like some feedback on what some tinters are paying for Llumar Atr & Atc in other areas

Well I wont lie its not easy, I cover a large area though, I travel between 4 counties over in tampa and sarasota, I get a lot of word of mouth jobs, one of the big things that have really helped me when the economy crapped out that you guys can try is post cards, if your not busy go put them on cars, if your busy find some highschool kid or college kid to go put them on cars everyday, double sided 4x6 cards are round 200 full digital, put some specials on there and put them on every car you see, thats where I get all my cars, and tell people if you can get a friend of yours to get there cars tinted at the same time you will take care of them, its not easy but I pay a lot in advertizing and it all benefits, I know of shops though in tmapa still knocking out major amounts of cars, more than me, I have noticed a big change over the last couple months, seems like people are spending more money again,

I say there is NO WAY that Llumar and Suntek are the same film. I have used both and Llumar is a much better film overall. That is my big 10 cents

just about any big name company film feels better than ST I think

      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!
