I have tinted outside a handful of times and it’s just overall a recipe for a not so clean install.

Yep.  This is why we stopped tinting large commercial vehicles if they do not fit into our bay.  It was a crap shoot if the job was going to be good or not.

Yeah, it will have a lifetime warranty as long as the guy stays around tinting.  Just make sure you get a receipt just in case he disappears and you have to call Global.

Welcome!  It really comes down to who is going to do a better job.  I personally would never choose a mobile tinter since a clean installation is never guaranteed.  There are plenty of good mobile tinters, but it depends on if they are installing in a controlled environment like a garage or are they outside.  I would check reviews and maybe visit the shops to see any work and to get an overall feel for them.  As far as the film options, Global will probably the best route...I am sure he is doing the first level QDP.  Maxpro has plenty of failures out there, so...

I agree, I think it will make people engage more with a response.  The funny thing is when I read it was going away, the first thing I tried to do was like the post.  

Haven't heard anything and their website is booty, so not sure.

We did the accreditation thing for a year and dropped it.  It may look good to have in the flat glass part of things but being primarily automotive, I feel it is absolutely pointless.  When it comes to regular customers, nobody is going to know what it is or ever care.  Plus in the real world it doesn't really mean you're any good at tinting.  I am sure the IWFA has a purpose that is beneficial to the industry but I don't see it nor will pay for it.

They shouldn't be using Tapatalk anyways going into 2020.  Just sayin'

Thanks for the pic, i cant really tell on the color of the shade. Is it kind of brownish?

 

I honestly can't say, it just looks odd.  I thought it looked a little brownish.

In not a car guy anymore...but is that film thick ? ..it looks like poo poo on the defroster lines....and also looks a bit shiny ...?

Touch shiny and is a thicker film, harder to shrink which is why we passed on carrying it.

Give them 6 months and they will all match anyway...purple lol

That was only the older FX series which I believe now has been updated to not have that issue.  All the films except FX have a color change warranty.  One of the guys here has Color Stable on his car for over 3 years and still looks perfect.
