In this episode of Here's The Deal, we sit down with Chad Newland of CMC Customs to talk about what it really takes to grow in the window tint industry.

From starting in a garage to building skill, speed, confidence, and a name people trust, Chad breaks down the lessons that only come from doing the work day in and day out. We talk about learning the craft, handling pressure, overbooking, training employees, paying people, building a shop culture, and why protecting your name matters more than chasing quick money.

This conversation is for tinters, shop owners, new installers, and anyone trying to turn a skill into a real business.

Whether you’re just starting out or trying to take your shop to the next level, this episode is packed with real-world advice from someone who has lived it.

What separates good PPF installers from great ones? In Here’s The Deal EP 3, we sit down with Cole Perkins during Geoshield’s PPF Month to talk advanced installs, real craftsmanship, training, marketing, and what it actually takes to level up as an installer.

With a Ferrari sitting in the shop, this episode opens the door to a bigger conversation about the difference between making an install look good for Instagram and making an install that actually lasts. We talk about disassembly, invisible edges, knowing when “too far” is too far, and why the best installers understand the balance between beauty, protection, and long-term durability.

We also get into advice for newer installers trying to break into PPF, how to put in the reps, when to start taking real customers, and why your website, SEO, and educational content can become one of the strongest tools in your business.

Geoshield isn’t just here to sell film. We’re here to build better installers, better shops, and a stronger community around tint and PPF.

We’ll also be at Film Fest in Atlanta this May, with Geoshield instructors, students, and dealers competing across multiple categories. Come see us, meet the crew, and be part of what we’re building.
