Every big success story starts small. Ours started in a garage in the UK, with a heat gun, a roll of film, and a refusal to settle for average. This is the story of how a one-man tinting operation became the world's largest online tint training program.
2010: Starting From Nothing
No investors. No connections. No safety net. Just a determination to build something and a willingness to outwork everyone. The first year was about learning the craft — every car was a lesson, every mistake was education. By the end of year one, word of mouth was generating enough work to stay busy.
2013: The First Dedicated Location
Three years of mobile and garage work led to enough demand to justify a proper space. The first Global Tint location opened its doors, and it was booked out weeks in advance from day one. The quality of work and customer service set us apart in a market full of mediocre operators.
2016: Cracking the Code on Scaling
The real breakthrough wasn't learning to tint — it was learning to build systems. How to hire and train tinters. How to manage multiple locations. How to market at scale. How to maintain quality across a growing operation. This operational knowledge became the foundation of everything that followed.
2018: The UK's Largest Tint Company
Global Tint became the largest tinting company in the United Kingdom — more locations, more reviews, more installs than anyone. The secret wasn't a secret: deliver exceptional quality, treat customers like humans, and never stop improving.
By 2018: UK's #1 tint company. Multiple locations. Thousands of 5-star reviews. $15M+ in cumulative industry revenue. All from a garage start 8 years earlier.
2019: Moving to America
The US was the next frontier. Packing up everything and moving across the Atlantic was the biggest risk yet — but the American tinting market was massive and underserved. Global Tint USA launched, and simultaneously, the idea for Tint School Online took shape.
2020: Launching Tint School Online
Over a decade of knowledge — every technique, every business strategy, every mistake — was packaged into a comprehensive online training program. The goal was simple: give anyone, anywhere, the ability to build the same kind of success. No gatekeeping, no secrets, no holding back.
The response was overwhelming. Students enrolled from all 50 states and multiple countries. The results spoke for themselves — students with zero experience were building profitable businesses in months, not years.
2026: 150+ Locations, 3,000+ Graduates
Today, the Global Tint network spans 150+ locations worldwide. Over 3,000 professional tinters have been trained through Tint School Online. And the program includes over 400 tutorials across 6 courses, a Business Blueprint with 44 templates, a community of thousands, and even a professional website included with enrollment.
But the part we're most proud of isn't the numbers — it's the stories. Joshua making $23K/month. Kenny at $20K/month. Brandon hitting $100K in 208 days. Hundreds of people who chose to bet on themselves and won.
Why This Story Matters For You
We didn't build this from a position of privilege. We built it from a garage with no money, no connections, and no safety net — exactly where most of our students are starting today. If we can build a 150+ location empire from nothing, you can absolutely build a single profitable tinting business. The playbook exists. The training exists. The community exists. The only missing piece is your decision to start.
