halarious

Hello everyone I need some advice, and maybe you all can help. I have a guy I am interested in hiring, but I don't know what to pay him. He has been Tinting for the last 9 years, installing electronics for the last 6. He can pretty much do anything you want to a car. He has an impressive resume with references that I verified and got really good feedback on. He is asking for 35% or 22.00 hr, to do everything 45hrs a week. The question that I have is that to much money for a person with that type of background? Don't get me wrong the kid is only 27 yrs old and has done everything in this industry dealing with cars, and he is prior military? Confussed???????? :spit

Hey tint master.

I just left a job not to long ago where I did exactly what he is claiming to do. I have done 12v, tint, and custom fabrications since 95. I was making 20.00 per hour with 1/2 insurance paid.

I also worked at another shop doing the same thing for a short time and my commission was 30%

I think he is in the ball park, maybe a tid bit high, but depends on the area your in, work load, what you think of his abilities, reliable, and if your giving any benifits?

also, where is he working now and what type of coin is he making?

Well the thing is he is working for my competitor right now, and he works with another guy there. I know they do about 14 to 16 cars a day, and that normally includes about 4 full ppf installs a day. My competitor braggs about paying these guys 12.5% COMMISSION. I approached this guy and he gave me his resume, I asked him if he waas happy there and he said no. I have seen this guy in action, he can normally do 2 to 3 electronics installs and tint 4 cars in one day.

He says prior military, so that is a min of 4 year hitch and he has been tinting for 9 years at the age of 27?? So he started tinting at the same age he joined?

If you seen him in action and can confirm he is bangin out quality work, then he is worth it.

Maybe Do a probation period. Pay him 30% com. You will see what he can do real deal with that. after 90 days or somin, if he is a banger, and his work is acceptable, then offer him what you feel is fair in contrast with his request.

The kid grew up in a small town in MS, and was trained by his brother who has been doing window tint, electronics and Interiors for over 20yrs. I really want to hire someone that I can trust with the business, and he seems squared away. He actually ran a shop in TN for 3yrs and he had some impressive numbers to show for it. I dont want to hire him and not pay him enough, or pay to much. I can say that he is a really good window tinter, he can hand cut, and do bulk ppf without patterns. I just think I may have trouble with the comp if I hire him.

Check his references with the shop he ran.

And as for the competition, all is fair in love and war. Thats just biz. His employer has the ability to counter your offer. Everyone deserves the right to be happy. No one should have to wake up and drag there a$$ to a miserable job. Thats too much like slavery in my mind.

Get scotty to check him out!! :spit

he is easy to find, he is a lot like those guys in the "Car and Truck" clubs. Usually the guy with the coolest whip is 35 and still lives with his mom!

I thought the same thing as you guys did when he showed me his resume. I left no stone un turned while checking him out. I spoke with the owner of the shop that he ran, and the guy pretty much sent me a book on this guy. He included everything from training certificates to his own personal clientel list, which is really extensive. He also stated that someone stole this guy from him, and he wished he would have matched what the last person offered him. His client list was 70% military and a couple of well known entertainers. He even has photos of almost all of the cars he has touched since he started doing this full time. :lol2

Ok, so divide this by two......7 to 8 cars a day at the high side of 40 subway footlongs each, and two PPFs at 200 subway footlongs each a day. Thats a grand total of 520 subway footlongs a day. He's asking for LESS than $200 a day. If He's that good You would have already hired Him. :spit

BTW: Subway footlongs = $5 .... :lol2

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.

      I would direct you to Express Window Films web site. They sell Global brand after setting up an account with them. They are reasonably priced and they do partials. Can't go wrong with Global.

      Need some help

      Never overlook the condition of the floor. Back when I did install, I used to mist the floor between the vehicle and the peel board. This is done between misting the window and walking toward the peel board to mist the pattern liner, peel liner and spray adhesive for install. Tacks any dust for the duration of each pattern install, so repeat each time a pattern is going to be installed.
