    You have to really think about where you are and where your trying to go. I always look at the parking lot of the place im applying for. If there is a bunch of beaters keep driving and good luck

    Call local storage places, some have storage units you can get a car in with doors open and cheaper than full blown rent sometimes, call around and tell them exactly what you want to do, they may have an area you can use per car. I know one location that has an open bay on the weekends, if i use that i give the owner $20 per car i tint. During the warmer weather you could probably use a multi-level public parking garage to at least have a little cover.

    I like it. Im a welder by trade and would use 2x3 tubing and what about lighting inside of it. Those blue prints are very nice to better than most of the ones i get.

    If your Jeep had factory tint in the rear, the matching percentage would be right at 20%.  I would suggest no lower than a 30% film to go with the 50% fronts.

    I like the green tape better. Has more flex to it and sticks much better than blue. Plus, it sticks well cover door switches.

    Any vehicle that has felt, and not plain rubber, needs tape to contain the felt particles that will fly off during install.  
     
    Edit — this needs to be done before any water EVER hits the vehicle.   This is important.

    Pull the door panels or you're going to hate life. Those seals are deep and tight and you'll crease the shit out of your film if you try and two stage them.

    Ok im going to get the DVD’s for my birthday. On some of my windows i get contamination or the trim isnt real good. So I just keep putting that piece on because it is practice. I can do a couple windows after work or somtimes only one, and im working outside. I like to come on here and read what you pros are saying.  Also ive been watching you tube and watch the same videos over and over again. How many if any flaws are acceptable on a job. I bought some mid grade film 35%. Thats legal here. Thanks for taking the time to answer

    I bought a mid grade roll from tintdepot. It was 84 bucks 100x20 in. I did the H on the BG. I didnt snap it. Is it when you peel it off then put it back on and look for fingers. Thank you for all the help.
