Window Tinting is one of the fastest growing segments of the automotive aftermarket industry. The startup costs are extremely low - all you need is a roll of film, a few tools-of-the-trade and a customer vehicle.
My journey into the wonderful world of window tinting began in 1978. Fresh out of high school and looking for work, I stumbled upon a company looking to train a new residential/commercial window tinter.
So I began to learn how to tint homes with an expert installer.
We would load up our van full of window tint and head out to several jobs each day. Our territory covered most of the Los Angeles area so we probably drove 150 miles a day! I was making $350 a week for 5 days of work in 1978. That's the equivalent to $1025 a week in 2004!!
Back when I got my start, window tint was no where near the quality it is today. The window tinting industry has grown in leaps and bounds over the last 25 years.
After a couple years of doing residential/commercial tinting I decided it was time to learn how to tint cars and trucks. I was blessed to find a man who would train me at a shop right on the beach! Wow!! Needless to say I was thrilled at the opportunity.
First, I learned truck tinting - stationary quarter windows and doors - before I moved on to tinting cars. In a very short time I was tinting several cars a day and making $500 in a 5 day work week (that's the equivalent to $1160 a week today). Not bad for a beginner.Especially in 1980!!
In 1983 I opened my own window tinting business and did auto tinting as well as residential/commercial window tinting. In 1990 I sold my business for a large profit and moved out east.
Now I live in the Atlanta area. I have had so much success in my life with the window tinting industry that I decided to share some of the knowledge I've gained over the years with other's who are interested in learning about this wonderful career
