First Revolution Tint

I used to do mobile tinting. It's a pain in the ass if you don't do it in a garage. So what I did was only do customers cars that had their own garage (with enough room and with electricity). If they didn't I would refer them to tinters that I knew who had their own shops.

Pain management monday,  3td MRI next week and possible surgical consultation.   If,  they sign off on disability the plan is my dog and I in a RV touring the USA visiting tint shops.  If eyes do a good job,  maybe ya'll can flip me some gas money LOL 
 
till then here I sit at your beck and call.  You want some pointers,  send me your vid.  you want some hands on,  come visit,  still got places with cars that need done.
 
only worked a few weeks this year,  running out of internet to browse 
 

mobile garage

When i was an Ironworker we had this little box tent that covered a small enough area for me to be in so i could weld while it rained or snowed, i'm trying to find that, but what i'm getting at is look in construction supply places for a work tent maybe 

Don't take it personal, they are very protective of the brand.  In the past people would sign up to be a dealer, use the name to bring customers in, then switch them to a cheaper priced film since it was easier to sell.  Even when I picked up 3M I had to jump through hoops since I was keeping Llumar.  Not to mention 3M is not a film that is great for beginners.

Global because it's rock solid, been around 10 plus years, hardly no negative reviews or failures, and lastly at a good price point. It'll take an act of Congress to switch me. 

is the key word "was" in that question?
 
up till 1993 Madico TG, AG  and Al   Worked for Ziebart International Corp.  used in about 800 of our US stores
1994 ish  sungard colbalt gorrilla stick.  one of the first "contoured" film that would shrink and switched.  went from teacher to tinter,  suit and tie didnt suit me  lol
2002 worked for a different franchise and used solargard NR and HP,  HP sucked to shrink
2006  Shady Tints LLC and not so slim shady was born
2008 switched back to sungard, black purple,,   I mean pearl.  easy shrink, easy instal till madico bought them
switched to proview films,  carbon and ceramic.  good product reboxed like the rest and good rep.
2017 disabled.  still play here and evaluate new products.  might have a new carbon ceramic 1ply nice scratchkote med-high aggressive adhesive and shrinks great.
if it passes the tests,  should come in about $250 a 60 inch,,, and ya dont have to buy a hundred rolls  LOL
 
to be fair,  lulu is a great film,  if I was tinting 2 or 3 cars at once it all fell off the car,  never got past the rolled backwards stuff
3m  expensive rebox

Used Solar gard for years.   dropped them when the closed my distribution point.  problems ordering, paying my bill and shall we say communication issues.  Switched to Sun gard and was happy till they were bought by madico and problems began to surface.  Choosing the right film is an important decision and can be confusing.
 
do not compare a film you are evaluating to the one you use.  every manufacture will send you free samples.  use medium to hard BG and a door for testing.  shrink and hang 3 different products before you try the one that you are interested in.   different films react differently,  compare a new film to other films you are not familiar with.  only way for a fair evaluation.  have to get out of your comfort zone product. $10 or even $50 a roll cost difference is small compared to the time and film you might waste on a film that is hard to install or increases your warranty rate.
 
Things to consider when testing
does it come off clean or leave glue on window when removing. 
hard to peel off or easy.  you want a good bond.
when you shrink it, does the edge singe or curl?   I cut, shrink and hang.  never cut twice
how aggressive is the adhesive.  same slip with 4 different films gives you a comparison.  how long till you cant pull back for say a hair removal
crease or spot removal.   yes screw up the door,  some films no heat chisler or heat with gator  or fingernail.  glue smear easy?
 
price is the least important and last consideration IMO

i wish it were wider and i had the strength of hercules that would be the best solution. but there is no way for that to be mobile.  
 

Call around to storage facilities and tell them your exact needs and ask them if they have something. Some places will work a deal with you and most have car storage options that are enclosed in an open area where you can knock out jobs. Hey, it's a garage and as long as you can keep the car doors open and have power you're solid, even if you pay $100 a month it's decent to have it like a mini shop. 

Usually my tank I have a long hose on it

Probably 75% my customers have garages with space where the doors can extend without hitting stuff. The ones with no room do make it a little harder. Sometimes i can pull the vehcile to ones side and tint Bg, 1/4s, and driver side, then move for the passenger side. I also shut the garage when its windy if i can. Damn that sucks when its 110* though. 

Torch shrink BG and an ez up with one side tarped with weights at the bottom

Need that but with some sides 

There have been posts, and people have and probably still do work out of tents. They're hard to secure, and only really worth putting up when you've got multiple vehicles. Like at a car dealer, but they are not ideal and limiting.

I would think that if they don't have garage or building you could do it in, or electricity for your heat gun then it would be way to much of a pain in the ass to try and go that route. Plus think of how many times your customer is going to tell you "Oh yeah I've got a garage with plenty of room, no problem!" and you show up and you can't even move around the car because of all the junk. or other issues too.
 
I use to work at a towing service where alot of these things came into playing getting a customers car and trust me, it is never what they say its going to be. Not trying to be discouraging just my opinion.

You dont do much work huh?
