Default Window tint question

I just left my tint guy in Wilkes-Barre, PA. He said he tried twice to get the back window on my 08 Coupe right and just couldn't do it. So, he said he was sorry and that was that.
My question is are there going to be vendors at Carlisle in August that deal with tinting Vettes? I would rather just wait the 6 or 7 weeks and get it done by someone who has done them before instead of trying another place that can't do it.

Nobody goes to Carlisle? I thought it was a big show.
Anyone help me out here?

yep, I go every year. I've never seen anyone doing tint work there. That has been brought up on here before. Seem like the bigest problem there would be keeping the dust out of it. I'm sure someone could make some money at it, if they were good.

Thanks nmk
I found a place in Leighton. I might have to give it a shot.
Have a nice day, looking forward to Carlisle.

There has been some recent discussion here on the proper wat to tint the rear window of a C6. Here are a couple threads that have talked a bit about the different procedures.

If you look at post 12 you will see some pics of how mine was done.

Take some of the posts and show them to your tinter. Maybe that will help him.
