Start slowly as poor work will destroy your business if you advertise or not............

I get where you are coming from but if i get a call from someone wanting me to do a car that with my little experience i would find very hard, what do i do? Do it and hope it comes out well but if it doesnt get a bad name? or say im fully booked? or what? I know your probably say practice till i can do any car but i need to start making money and there is only so many different cars i can practice on.

Its a tough one but, for sure, starting out and going mobile tinting is just adding more grief to a very uphill strugle, if you have no choice then go for it, see what happens you have no other choice. And i dont mean this in a nasty way but lets see if youre still here in 6 months.............

Hey Polar. How much exp do you have ? if its something you really dont think you can handle I would not attempt it.

One . because of the cost of film you will waste. (you will be losing money, not making it)

Two. if it turns out bad. its bad advertising of your work. therefore losing any potential customers. instead do a car you know can look good and make money from.

i think knowing your limits to start with is a must, its very easy to end up costing yourself alot of money in this game, also fighting with difficult cars only disheartens you, stick to the stuff u know u can do until u build up some confidence, enthusiasm and confidence are not the same thing!!

good luck, stick at it

Sadly doing it mobile is the only way for me at the moment. I have already got everything i need to do it apart from the experience to jump in and do any car with the confidence that it will come out well. It seems that most people think that good work and word of mouth are the best advertising tools so in order make sure my work is good i need to do cars that i can do well until i can do every car well but what do i say to people that want me to do a car that i will struggle with if they call me asking me to do their car? or do i just advertise as a 3 door hatch back specialist lol

      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!
