My Gosh, i just could NOT tint today

[Guest Qveon]

Yep I had a small redo on a customers truck, diagnosis: Premature Window Rolldown

So I peeled and striped and retinted. As I was finishing the molding caught my chisiler and it snagged the tint,grrr so I trashed that piece.

The next peiece was fine accept for a I cut a little too shy on one side and I have about a 1/16th X 1 inch of whitespace on the very side of the window. Bleh, but the customer needed the vehicle to go to work so I gave it back to them. I don't think they really minded but it just doesn't look as good as the passenger side window. After I did that it has just bothered me all day. I hate letting it go if I am not even satisfied with the work. GRrr

But then again this was a "friend of a friend discount job" so yea.

had to laugh when you said" friend of a discount job" this happens to me on these cars..I don't screw up because I don't care as much"because I'm making less", but it just seems to be a jinx whenever you discount something B4 doing the car

[Guest Zrok]

I'm the same way, if I discount something and tint it at home for a friend, or whatever, pretty much what they get is what they get since they aren't paying enough for a retint well, unless it's something blatantly bad, like a chunk of under the film or something......or a hideous light gap....we all have days where we can't tint and nothing seems to go right.....hell, last tuesday I only had one car to do (new 4 door sebring....an hour tops, not hurrying) and she came back yesterday and said that her driver's door had a 'tear' in the film I went out and looked at it, and there was a small creast up by the mirror near the bottom corner....must have creased it just a little when I pulled my release sheet off so I re tinted it for her....oh well....seems like on the slowest days is when things go wrong that shouldn't have but on days where there's like 5 cars, and a full truck, and another 2 doors only....nothing goes wrong....I don't get it so I drink more :lol

Yea and the day it did it, it was almost a perfect job. But then her horizontal molding moved and got trapped in the vertical modling in the corner and peeled the bottom corner because the moldings were too long So at least she stopped before it peeled a lot, it just peeled the corner so I went out and cut the corner the peeled off and cut the extra molding off so it wouldn't over lap again until I could retint it.

The "friend of a friend" discount "buddy" deals are always the ones that bite you in the ass. Hate doing em'. If you aren't a friend of mine....you're not a "buddy".

[Guest Qveon]

yea unless your family or my best friend or girl, funk you!

[Guest Blade]

Unfortunately, It's family that will screw you the most.

[Guest Blade]

um......that might have sounded bad. I'm not knocking my family. I think you guys know what I mean!

[TintWizard]
