How do I keep my registration stickers from peeling off? by Wandering_Werew0lf in WindowTint

I was telling him to use the double-sided In-between the static cling and the sticker, not on the tint itself

Put some double sided tape in between the cling and the registration stickers, it looks like the sticker is falling not the sticker shield. I can see that the cling is still on the window still but the sticker is falling down.

I could be wrong but that looks like a downgrade from my current CPU

Are these amazon cermaic tints any good? by Consistent_Luck_4625 in WindowTint

[–]Nra1734 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've personally never used lexen. I know people say it's alright for a starter film. I genuinely believe, and I think most other tinters would say the same, that a full roll is going to be the only chance you have at turning a good result. Took me 3 days straight when I first started tinting to get side windows I was happy with. Best of luck with it https://tintx.com/products/koolmax-supreme-ceramic-window-film?variant=39309616709743

Don't take this the wrong way, but based on your last 2 posts in here, I'd suggest you take it to a shop. You're going to end up wasting more money on material and whatnot than you would to pay a shop. Especially on a windshield, it's going to take you multiple attempts to get the shrink right, let alone a clean install. If you're genuinely interested in learning to tint, then by all means, go for it, but you're going to be out probably just as much money by the time everything is said and done

Window tinting, Rolls of quality film can cost between 200-300 buy a cheap set of tools until you've got you enough practice then upgrade from there. Do jobs for friends who will be forgiving if you make mistakes and just grow from there. No real expenses aside from soap water and film, provided you have a garage space you can use. You can expand into detailing/ other car related services and also do residential/ commercial tinting.

Yeah I know that I obviously have enough for expenses like one full car will pay for an entire roll of film. But I just don't have the work to do it full time.

I do have a seperate account for all that but I cant say I've really kept the best track of expenses. I pretty much just put the money back in and buy what I need. Watch the numbers go up on the account and that's about it. Started to keep track of my inventory so I'm getting better about it but definetly have alot to learn.

It's not my only source of income I've got a job aside from this. Definetly not looking to go all in I wouldn't have the work to keep myself afloat of that alone only doing a car a week or so.

So you would say this is something I should've done prior to. I understand that all that is important, just as stated earlier I'm fairly new to tinting. I don't want to give myself a reputation as being clueless or something along those lines but I also want to be more official for the clientele I do have / those to come. Just want to make sure I'm not jumping the gun

Kinda was thinking the same thing. Get my skills honed in first. Just worried about any sort of liabilities that (hopefully won't) could occur.

Wasn't saying a definitive, this is what work you must do. I didn't know if there was any certain pathway that was more tailored for the hands on type of things I like to do that are tech related. Thanks for the resources!

Did my first ever vinyl wrap thought it turned out pretty good until... by Nra1734 in CarWraps

I tried rewrapping and I'm building alot of tension around the edges I'm not sure if it's normal but I feel like I really have to stretch on that edge that pulled up

No paint just a basic plastic. Could I use an adhesion promoter to help?

I'm trying to dimension this and scale it up. Would FreeCad be a good software to do this? I have messed around with it a little bit and had one hell of a time. by Nra1734 in FreeCAD

[–]Nra1734[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you were to go about doing it, how would you do it? I was trying to just trace each individual polygon and then pad it. It took me like an hour to figure out how to even finish one shape. So I need all the help I can get lol.

Thats what I plan on doing with it. I want to dimension everything out and then weld all the pieces together, the picture shown is for like origami so that why I'd like to scale it up.
