    Current Melbourne Tinting Hotness

    had a guy that did my vr6 for cash some years ago in something immature like 10 or 15%. did it for a steal, bloke was young and polite and did it at my place of work (SE Burbs).

    want the same deal for my wifes trucksta.

    anyone got the hook up?

    he used to roll in a vn goon with crazy darkass tint (pressumable not even see thru)

    wait for a week when the weather is shit and business is slow. Tinting is highly seasonal and you can get a better deal in winter (or a wet week).

    The car yards are the bread and butter of the industry. Keep an eye on car sales figures and you will know if its a slow month or not. Or you can always just ask if things are slow up front and if they say "yeah" then you know to drive a deal hard.

    I have been out of it for 10 years now. Back then - Retail price used to be approx $350 for a sedan and we were charging the yards about $180 for that same film. This should give you an idea as to the margins they work on.

    Oh and try to get a quality film made by 3M and avoid the other junk.

    Thanks aaron , its booked in tommorrow and ive known of the guy for ages so should be no prob . He mentioned the FG has the ariel in the rear window so he doesnt use a metallic based tint .

    I had my VE done ( from the dealer i got it from ) and back window turned to shit in under two years , rang them up under lifetime warrenty and they said no prob bring it in , tint is for free but i pay removal !! .
