Increased ONE-way

I had a call back on an older job that I did a one-way mirror effect on. They refuse to lower the lighting enough on the private side. So, I had to come up with a new option. I took a black perforated vinyl and placed on the private side. It made for more reflection on the silver side and a nice black for the private side....

So, a new tip is to use perforated vinyl to aid the one-way effect....just be sure it is black!

Protect yourself with purchase orders

I'm done being Mr. Niceguy after eating another $200 in film today. Dealer calls up last night, needs a car done by the afternoon. In the meantime the customer changes his mind and doesn't want it and I just found out about it on the way up there. Now I'm stuck with a cut kit that's useless. I'm going to have a talk with the owner about this next week to try to get some money out of him and I'm not being nice about it. If you're dealing with dealerships, REQUIRE A PO WHEN THE ORDER IS PLACED!!!! Not when you get there, not when you're done, as soon as they call make sure they have a PO# ready. Also make sure it's known if the customer backs out or something changes after PO is written, THEY are liable for payment. DO NOT LET DEALERSHIPS TAKE ADVANTAGE OF YOU!!!
