We are doing it again in 2012. Last year’s workshop was such a success that this year we are bring it back. The demand for window tinting skills is at an all time high especially in the summer time. Being able to tint windows can get you the job when you compete with someone who knows how to install but lacks window tinting skills.

Film Applications
Film Removal
Film Specifications
State Laws You Should be Aware of
Shrinking
Trimming the Tint
Tint Removal
