Found one. Wow it was worse then I remember. 

Thanks everyone.  I wish I still had the before I moved in pics.  God it was an eyesore. 

I like your shop building @coast2coasttinting! 

The new doors I had installed  a year and a half ago definitely helped the looks and my back from throwing  those heavy bastards  up.  Once I get the outside  done.  I will be focusing  on the waiting  area and shop this winter. 

Here is before and the top half done. Hopefully  while I'm  away today the painters will finish up the dark gray bottom half.  

The shop was in need of a new coat of paint,  so I decided to change it up a little.  I'll post pics as it gets done. 

Looks nice!
 
 

Swanky.  Always loved the look of your shop. Seems like a nice setup.

As many as it takes to get it right. 

Those are way easier then the last two body styles by far. Practice holding your mouth just right next time.

If you mess up just get another piece. It's only film, no one is going to die

Basically anything that starts with V and ends with W. 

Seriously though, I am only using about 2 onces in 4 gallons of water. Anyone else using less then recommended?

Will do homey that's not until November December which chit is right around the corner. 

Jimmy you just let me know if you switch, and I'll get you into the fileshare database bro. ?

I'll probably wind up switching to that when solar gard tries at the end of the year because I haven't bought their chit film. 

First is usually pretty quick to get patterns to new vehicles up. Especially common vehicles. I did an 18 camry this week, and the patterns are already in the database. Same with the rogue sports that started arriving a couple weeks ago. However they do lack a little on windshield patterns. And you won't find patterns too many exotic cars in the system either. All in all. I am happy with the software. However myself and a couple friends use a fileshare program to save our patterns too. Mostly due to the fact that they are designed for panel on installation, and we are a bunch of panel snatchers that prefer the bottoms to be slightly longer. 

I hear great things about First Cut.  I am in the same boat, we have the plotter and more than one software, but just hate using it so we do not at this time.  Hopefully we will revisit soon.  On a side note, XPEL has been 100% spot on for window tinting on the 10 patterns I tested.  It is probably not worth the $150/month unless you are cutting PPF, but it is on point since they do the designs in-house same as PPF.  We also have Precision Cut from Llumar and it is a 50/50 crap shoot if the PPF/Tint pattern will be right.

Holy hell. Glad you all are ok. Hopefully insurance will get you back up and going again soon.

Only film with dye in the glue would turn purple instantly. You need to use better film no matter if you are using alcohol in your slip or not.
