Who owns the sprint car? I do work for a few of the sprint car guys in my area.... you may have heard of them Haudenchild?

I just got my solarfx displays in and I am amazed at the quality of all of their products!

Is that their SUV?

Cool little project

Organization is for sure a key to saving time, also u need to find a system that u follow on every vehicle, for me it is pull car in, establish if it needs felt taped, and or will bottom seals come out, wipe down all windows, put soap on back glass to let dry, cut film, if by myself I will usually clean each window as I go and do back window last, finally do any touch ups and wipe car down and ship it, most cars are between 45- 1.25 for me. When I first started I was around 2.5-3 hrs

It depends on what customer you are looking for. IMO FB is the flea market of advertising,....lots of people..lots of crap... And the people have no money. .. Banners can be effective If you have a high traffic flow I front of. Your shop..and better if its a high flow with regular passerbys so they see your flag several times, then pull in on they way home some night. A flag flapping in the breeze at a highway on ramp for window tinting... Not worth the material it's made from. If I were to open a auto tint shop.. ( and I never would ) ...I would get a really nice vehicle, all pimped out and lettered...and frequent car shows as well as cars and coffee type gatherings. These are places where you can expect to get higher quality customers and likely many of them have several cars. 

I am curious as to what others have tried for advertising that has been effective for their shops? I plan on using banners, feather flags and good ol grassroots with going around and handing out business cards, along with Facebook adds too. Has anyone done any scavenger type hunts on Facebook or social media? Looking for some ideas that have worked for your guys shops.

I have been kicking it around, but leaning towards no

Anyone selling a 40” plotter? Prefer a graphtec

If this is the new light opaque blue one I have been using if for about a month or so and I really like it compared to the old blue max, it glides better and is way more durable

I have never heard of that before, Suntek wouldn’t be my first choice but that is totally your decision. Depending on where you are located check out express window films or solar fx. Just my 2 cents

New 2019 e450... sweet ride!

This was a strip and retint... fun!

That is what I’m told too, but from my experience for cutting tint I like the way that the graphtec operates, just my 2 cents

If you are looking at plotting the full vehicle you will need a 40” or bigger. Personally I travel and I use 3 different plotters at the shops I go to. One is a Roland, anagraph, and graphtec, out of those I will take the graphtec all day long. This is just my preference

I have done quite a few chargers and the prep on the back glass seems to be key to getting film to lay nice on those defrosters. With that being said there isn’t much you can do for how your window is other than redo it, but that is no guarantee it will look better, plus the chance of damaging the defroster is likely and it looks like you have a nice job done on yours.

All I can say is that after using many brands of film being a subcontractor for 3 shops, that Llumar is my least favorite film that I use. For the cost of the film and the almost non existing scratch coating, this film is way overrated imo. I do like their ctx line but that too has a pretty soft scratch coating. What’s others opinions?

Ohhh well it had defrosters, didn’t work but they were there... lol!

Definately not a favorite car but not terrible to do
