FAQs
You can start this business with the investment of just $500 to $700, The Essential tint tools you require cost around $200 to $300 and a roll of film which is 100cm x 30m will cost $200 to $250. You will require at least 2 different shades i.e. 35% vlt and 20% vlt roll.
There are very few professional tinters as this is a skilled base business, which cannot be bought for money or be copied by anyone, so the demand is high and supply is very low in Australia.
Window tinting is a hands-on skill, so it takes practice. Training helps you avoid damaging your own or a customer’s car and teaches you to use the knife and heat gun properly. The course shows each window step by step, from making the pattern to installing the film, and you can pause and rewatch any lesson as often as you need. Heat shrinking the film on curved rear windows is the part most beginners get wrong, so take your time on it and practise on your own car before you work on anyone else’s.

It varies a lot. Mobile tinters commonly charge a few hundred dollars per car, and what you earn depends on your prices, how many cars you take on, your area and how you market yourself. Some students tint a car or two on weekends for extra income; others build a full-time business over time. These are general figures, not a promise or a guaranteed income.
As a rough guide for a home-based tinter: the film for one car costs tens of dollars and jobs are commonly priced at a few hundred dollars, so most of the job price is your labour. Shops charge more and carry more overhead. Actual prices, film costs and margins vary by area, film brand and vehicle, so treat these as examples rather than a promise.
No. Most tinters start on their own and only take on help if the business grows. Working alone keeps your costs low.
An experienced tinter can tint 3-4 cars per day. Some days, depending on the cars, we can do six cars. When a person is starting out and just learning, they should set realistic expectations. To finish a car in a day is realistic, and probably if they did that every day for a month, by the end of the month they should be able to get up to two cars in a day.
99% of the time it should be done in an enclosed area, although there are days that you can tint outside.
Absolutely. Actually the learning curve for doing flat glass work such as businesses and residences is one day. A person literally can go out and start tinting those types of windows the same day that they get their tools and their materials. They are straightforward once you have the technique, and many tinters add flat-glass work alongside car jobs.
Facebook Market Place and Gumtree in Australia are the best way to getting clients, just one free ad on FB marketplace and your phone will not stop ringing.
“When you Enroll in our online course you will get the list of suppliers for tools and films that we use for our tinting business.
We have 1 Week (7 days) no-questions-asked refund policy.
The course is self-paced, so it depends on how much time you have to practise. Most students work through the lessons over a few weeks while practising on their own or a friend’s car. You have lifetime access, so you can come back to any lesson whenever you need a refresher.
It is not hard to start, but it takes practice to do neatly. Begin on flat glass and side windows, which are the easiest to get right, and move on to curved rear windows once your patterns and squeegee work are consistent.
Yes. When you are ready, film yourself tinting every window of a full car, upload the video to YouTube as unlisted and email us the link. We assess your work, give you feedback and issue a printable certificate from the Window Tint Training Institute.
