Dyed film that will last!

[Gary_tintington]

Hello fellow tinters! I've been tinting for a long time, and I'm finally opening a shop in Texas. I'm looking for a dyed film that will last and has decent stats and a lifetime warranty. I'm planning on selling this to customers that want to beat me up over price, so it needs to be inexpensive as well. Also any feedback on Johnson's Marathon line would be great.I've used it years ago but they say it has upgraded adhesive?

Global, Llumar, Formula One, Huper Optik Xtreme...I am sure the last 3 will be out of the price you want though.

How does the global handle? Shrinking, scratch coat, adhesive? How does it look compared to factory glass?

Global all day everyday. You won't regret it. Scratch coat, shrinking, and adhesive are on point. Express window films carries it. Listed as classic charcoal on their site.

Also classic black is something to look at. Its a film made just for express. A little cheaper than global but equally as good.

+ 1 on the Global....

Fantastic gentlemen, thanks for the reply. Any feedback on the Johnson's Marathon?

[jh812]

I had a few samples sent from Johnson and never really cared for their films. One shop close to me claims to use Johnson and I've seen a few of his windows delaminating within a couple years. Now I wouldn't be surprised if he was reboxing something.

As jh812 said, look into Global or Classic Black series at Express Window films. Most of my jobs I use ClassicB or LLumar. The other brands listed above are on point to, but a little bit more expensive.
