Diablo's Tint

Agreed. If you charge Joe Blow $99 to tint his car and his friend Mike stops by he's gonna want that same $99 price. It's not something that you're gonna want to have happen.

If you are capable of putting out great work, charge accordingly.

We all start somewhere....we started with solargard, then suntek and now 3M....put in the work and it will come.

I paid for rightlook online class $800...It is something I want to learn but I feel I am spreading myself thin...wish I learn this skill in my twenty.

I talked to Jeff from beachcities. Good guy, just by talking to him on the phone, he has already showed me what to watch out for. Definitely going to use him at some point.

That's what I was afraid of with rightlook. You've got one facility listed twice, was there a third one or does beach cities deserve extra consideration? 

Here's what I know, these are the top 3 that I'd go to if I were learning again. These are in the best order. I know Techs that have learned and become successful from "rightlook and Dingking" but they are known as training mills and pump out students. I think your desire has a lot to do with weather your succeed or fail in PDR. Good luck in your journey. They will most likely tell you not to practice or buy tools until after training, because no one company makes the best tools. I love ultra dent and dent craft and a few others.

x2 Interwest Tools

I like Zola and 44 Tools.

No, I moved it into the categories section to work on it. I'll move it back to related trades.

Pretty long thread on it in the makes and models section. Here's the link also a video.

I leave anywhere between 2-6 inches. 

Nice car week

So I tinted this today. 

Another hobby of mine....

I skateboarded in the late 70’s. I got a killer dog town vintage board

Been skateboarding for decades. Also, like working on my 88’ Mustang. Next thing ive been wantng is a set of drums like tint slayers!! 

Lots of hobbies restoring an old 67 ford van is a long term project. 
 
Sound guy for daughter and her duet  www.ellieleeoldfield  @ellieleeoldfield. Look her up
 
snd since November I’ve been restoring 68-77 redline hotwheels
 

Same here, I have one knife with a thin carbon blade just for top cut.

I finally mastered shaving side roll ups I heat with the heat gun let it sit then go back and heat it again  then  shave with the one inch stainless steel blade hope this helps someone trying to learn.... it's all about getting the right angle with the blade and make sure the blade is new on every window

Anything darker than 50% can be too dark.  I had 45% before and it made it seem like overcast outside.  I only do them in 70% CXP which blocks out close to 50% heat. Doesnt have to be dark to get good benefits. 

This setup is not Afforable to any tinter or ppf installer unless you run a detailing department. There is another route call CR Spotless that will be the best for you. We pay Culligan monthly around $300 for this system....But it is worth over 10k if you were to buy it. 

Im in Houston and we put 2oz of tint slime to every gallon when it is hot and 1oz when it is cooler (which is rare). We only use the orange tint slim....the green one do not work in hot climate.  I have seen the slim do some funny stuff to the adhesive to some film but not with 3M....As for J&J, we use 3oz per gallon when it is hot and we only buy the original and not the off brand.....For some reason the off brand do not work the same as the branded one. We use to have to have to clean our spray nozzle all the time but never had to do it since we got RO water.  Everything slide better with RO (10K - 15K system) water than distill. You are welcome to come get 5 gallon a time of RO water and see for yourself...bring breakfast taco by the way and it is free. You also welcome to come get a few oz of orange slim....
