Having peace of mind is a valuable thing. When I starting tinting I was either too hard headed, stupid, or crazy to let it beat me. I’m glad i stayed persistent, but 12 years later I don’t know if I would have had the same determination if I started tinting today. Kinda like golf, I enjoy it but I would never try to learn today if I didn’t have a long history with it.

@D34 you are a fickle person and you need to find your balls, you are overthinking the crap out of everything. I would hate to have you work for me. You need to not fear what you can't do and focus on what you can do and expand on it. You will never be anything with that wishy washy "i don't know what to do" bs. Find your sack, do your work, don't make so many excuses not to work and you might actually make some cash. That dude gave you a great opportunity and you quit after a week. You had a great opportunity to grow on someone else's dime. You need to be more sure of yourself and drop this lingering doubt bs that runs through every sentence of your post. My advice is, get into work, tint every car thrown at you, it may take you a long stretch to do it, you may get pissed and have to redo it, but you'll be no different than any other tinter who messes up and has to figure it out and learn something new. Are you waiting to tint every single car a dozen times before you feel good about yourself? But hey the choice is yours, McDonalds is hiring until you can figure out that you have to actually make an attempt at something to succeed.
Go back to that job, take on every car and take the time to do it right and you'll never regret me calling you out on your wishy washy attitude. Good luck, i truly hope you succeed.

I feel you one that one. I tinted an 18 Nissan Sentra this weekend that blew my mind. I never could get the windshield to shrink all the way. I’d like to say that the top corners are way tighter than they look but then again it was probably just me.

Today I told my ac man to get started as soon as possible. Going with a central unit as opposed to the mini splits that I wanted. Hopefully tomorrow will be my last day working in my shop when it’s 15 degrees hotter than outside.

I might suggest a disaster happening and then rebuilding with 2 five ton units to cool your shop with. I have worked in the heat for 35 years...today I had the AC set at 70°..... But seriously, I do know the struggle guys.

Thanks! I definently do all the covering up. I am just even more cautious nowadays and trying to use the resources available to me through our collective knowledge here on TD. 😁 @Super Dave is right....maybe you should start a BMW Tech support line!
I'll start one for old shit and dirty farm trucks...1-800-SHIT-TRKS. 😁
