ErieTint got a reaction from quality tintz in High Quality Film? Not A Dealer? Not A Problem Anymore
Had to go check it out for myself.
I drive a 2006 GMC Sierra.
Not on their site for tint.
Hell of a lot of help that was....

Hi, welcome to the forum.
This website is primarily for professional installers, so you may have better luck posting this somewhere else, thanks.

Shouldn't need a bulldozer for that window.
Did one of those a month or so ago, not bad at all.
Only thing with them is the defrost lines are THICK.

ErieTint got a reaction from TintDude in What did you tint today?
My own patio doors with LLumar DR15 since the roll was already in the film handler for another job. Fiancé is happy, that's what counts, right?

ErieTint got a reaction from Tint Slayer in Visor strip trick with fat sharpie !!!
This is how I have done the ones that customers have asked for extra length on. Wax pencil marks at equal lengths on the sides.
I then run a piece of masking tape as straight as I can (with the curve of course) and shrink as needed. This gives me a full length reference for setting things in place.

ErieTint got a reaction from quality tintz in Hardest roll ups to bottom load
I just spent the last week fighting with Ford Transit front roll up doors. Not the smaller Transit Connect but the full size Transit vans like U-Haul has for rent.
Can't bottom load them because its all part of the same seal/sweep.
Hole. Lee. Hell.
Pain in the rear but after 6 vans I got a little quicker.
@jh812 is right though, the body style Jetta before the new ones (13-18 maybe?) has some deep sides.

ErieTint got a reaction from CaliTINT in Keep options simple
Two options, four shades in each.
Really its ATC or CTX then a couple options on darkness. There is AIR too but thats mostly reserved for windshields.
Thinking of doing up sample boards with Legal, Light, Medium and Dark to avoid the whole number situation.
Correspond Legal, Light, Medium and Dark as 50, 35, 15 or 20 and 5. I can't stand the "Do you have like a 26?" question.

ErieTint got a reaction from Tint Slayer in Best tint software??!!
I like some things about it and other things I think PrecisionCut does better. For example; with PCS there is (what I would call) a "cut table" where your patterns get loaded to. In DAP there isn't anything like that. Just a matter of adjusting and figuring the differences out.
It did save my butt two weeks ago however. Had a 2011 BMW 328i in the shop and DAP had patterns that PCS did not. Full ceramic treatment too, would have been a big job to not be able to complete cleanly.
If it weren't so expensive and/or business was better, I would honestly consider running both pieces of software.
The kicker with both of them is film. Kind of a "buy film from us for cheaper software operation" type deal.

These suction cups on the outside of the glass pulling outward can help with tight situations

ErieTint got a reaction from quality tintz in X-zacto knifes
I've seen them used in some of the PPF and Vinyl videos I have watched on YouTube.
The installers in the videos claim better control than an Olfa. I supposed when cutting near a painted surface you would want that control.

I use Blue Max for my doors and bg. Small yellow turbo for 1/4’s and final glass prep.

You don't gotta do the best you can with what you got to work with brotha. If they were brand new and just in the shop it would be one thing. These things have already been ran through the rock quarry so it is what it is. Yabadabadoooooooo!
