    So, is there a plan finalized? I was hoping to still get in on this, that is if he would be able to tint an '04 VW R32... I know the price would be different.

    I will be there also...

    deanjones,
    what would be the price to do an '04 VW R32? also do you have different percentages of each film type? I'm looking for a nice dark, non "metallic reflective" look... Also what time is this going to happen on Saturday?


    Thanks I look forward to giving you my money.

    Well, that's lame.

    Alex, can you get in touch with Dean and see if it'd be possible to contact him directly and get equal or similar prices? I need some tint now. :)

    I can come to anyone, however, please read below to make sure you meet these specifications. If you don't, I simply can't do it.

    • You must have a clean indoor garage that can supply power and water. The garage must be big enough to fit the entire car with all the doors open.
    • The water source must be internal. In other words, from your kitchen sink or a bathroom. No garden hoses unless you don't mind specs of dirt and garbage between the film and glass. No outdoor water source is clean enough to get a good install.
    • I can NOT tint a car outdoors in the elements. If you don't meet the 1st two rules, then it's not going to work.
    • I can NOT tint a car in an open parking deck. This is just as bad as it being out in the open.
    • You must live in the Metro Atlanta area. In order to make any of this worth my time, you have to live relatively close to Atlanta. Gas prices are insane and I can't drive more than a 30 minute trip. If I do, then I would actually lose money on this deal since I'm doing it for so cheap.

    I'm gonna contact batlground and try and figure out a time and date. Matt said he'd provide a space and time aslong as we give him notice.

    The 08 wagon is technically a hatch...as it has the same amount of glass as the sedan. How does pricing for that work?

    You have to account that it adds extra cutting for those two back pieces of glass in the hatch area. There is a simple formula for the cost of window tinting:

    Difficulty + Amount of glass + Type of film = Price

    Difficulty rating goes up a lot for very curved windows, very large windows, very large very curved windows (such as the Vette) and amount of cutting/hanging.

    So, with that said, Wagon's you'll want to add $40 to the original price.

    It may be a good idea to start a separate thread for this so that this post is at the top. You can then link to this thread so that people can use this thread for questions regarding tinting. Just a thought...

    FYI, I've been asked about credit cards. I can accept credit cards through PayPal as long as you add the 3% fee that paypal charges me to accept cards. In other words, if you're getting charged the typical $175, if you wanted to use PayPal to pay me, you would need to send me $180.25.

    In addition to this, I will also require that the funds already be in my paypal account before the job is done. PayPal offers plenty of consumer protection services, but I don't have any guarantee you will pay me after the job is done... So this is the only fair alternative.

    Obviously, cash will be accepted also, but no checks.

    It was really great to meet Matt, Ming, Dean, and, uh, Mr. Pankopp! :D

    I'm super happy with my tint job, and Batlground seems to be a pretty happenin' place. It reminds me why I stopped messing with high-hp caages... bikes are a lot cheaper!

    All in all, thanks for a great day, guys.
