Used plotter on ebay, about 5 grand or so--IMO there is just no other way to *efficiently* do tint or clear bra. The film(ppf, not so much tint)) is very expensive, but most will let you buy small quantities, so no large buy in expense.

It took me quite some time with the paint protection film before I felt comfortable doing difficult installs. We trained with several different companies so that we could test the film and really test their level of devotioin "after the sale."

As far as tint and PDR, I just sub it out and make 20% or so(depends on the job) of the ticket. IMO, tint is either something you can do, or you can"t, and I can't. Why not just hire a guy to do your tint, then make your money off of the film and partial labor. Same with PDR--customer wants tint/pdr, no problem, we charge for the film, convenience (one stop shop), and labor. The tinter/pdr guy makes money, we make money by facilitating the deal.

Honestly, if I had more diposable income at the moment I would open a tint/clear bra fixed location shop north of our city with a tinter and let my right hand man run the detail shop in the "good" part of town that we are in.

Lots if money in tint (and pdr) *if* the market isn't saturated.
