Our Story
Almost eight years ago, Dublin Window Tint started with nothing but determination, a few supplies, and a passion for cars. Colby, our founder, went door to door polishing headlights for just $20 trying to make more than a typical 9-5 learning about the hustle and mentality needed to really strive in the automotive world, grinding day by day to build a solid set of skills and knowledge. Eventually, he got his foot in the door with a local body shop, learning the trade and further sharpening his skills.
After years of practice, Colby branched into detailing, only to find the market oversaturated with shops racing to the bottom—offering "premium" work for pennies. Frustrated with the lack of quality and honesty in the industry, he knew there had to be a better way. That’s when he met his first employee, a seasoned tint installer with over a decade of experience, and Dublin Window Tint was born.
With the foundation set, we quickly expanded into paint protection film, bringing the same dedication to quality and transparency that had been missing in the industry. For years, we’ve been committed to cutting through the noise—exposing the truth in a market flooded with Duplicate brands from the same major oversea manufactures, uneducated shop owners thriving on drama and negativity, and sky-high prices driven by hype and marketing instead of quality.
Our mission is simple: provide the absolute best work at the best price, backed by real knowledge, real skill, and real honesty. No gimmicks, no nonsense—just quality craftsmanship and a team that truly cares.
The Film Industries real Brands
Our business model, Just the Truth.
We Don’t Follow the Crowd—We Set the Standard
At Dublin Window Tint & PPF, we do things a little differently. While most shops stick to name-brand films and flashy labels, we go straight to the source—the same factories that supply those big brands. Why? Because it gives us full control over quality, performance, and pricing. You get top-tier film without the inflated price tag.
Yes, we’re fully licensed and have access to every major brand—XPEL, 3M, LLumar, STEK, you name it. But after years of testing and research, we chose to import and private-label our own film. Not because it’s cheaper to us—but because it’s better for you.
How We Keep Costs Down—Without Cutting Corners
We charge the same for our labor, no matter which film brand is used. The difference is how we source our products. By cutting out the middlemen and importing directly from the source manufactures, our material costs go down—so you pay less for film products that outperform any domestic brand. No overpriced brand markups. No unnecessary upsells. Just top-tier film that performs better, looks better, and lasts longer—for a price that actually makes sense.
You get better protection, save money, and leave with a product that truly delivers.
we get what we care about most: happy clients who rave online about their amazing results.
Better Than the Big Names—And We Can Prove It
Our paint protection film installs smoother, has better clarity than STEK, superior staining resists , and self-heals deeper and at a lower temperature.
Our window tint outperforms XPEL XR Plus when it comes to heat rejection (TSER)
We’re not guessing—we’ve done the testing. WE have the data sheets. WE have the in person demos to compare. the results are clear: our films perform better, costs less, and look phenomenal.
What the Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know
Here’s the truth: most “high-end” brands all use the same raw ingredients. Even outside of the film industry the same can be said for almost any industry. A few of the biggest players in ours behind the scenes include:
-
Ashland – the adhesive layer in most films
-
Lubrizol – one of the highest performing TPU base suppliers
-
Mitsui Chemical (Japan) and Covestro (Germany) – TPU used in films like STEK and others
These materials are the backbone of nearly every premium film out there. The only real difference? Branding and marketing. Big companies tweak the recipe, slap on a logo, and sell it at markups as high as 700%. You’re not paying for innovation—you’re paying for hype.
We Took the Harder Route—So You Get the Better Result
We didn’t settle. We spent years researching the science behind these films, working directly with overseas manufacturers, jumping on early-morning calls with factory engineers, and testing hundreds of samples. We only selected materials that met our exact performance standards. No gimmicks. No resellers. Just direct, high-quality materials—at honest pricing.

Skepticism Is okay until you learn.
We know not everyone will trust us right away—and that’s okay. Healthy skepticism is part of how people make smart decisions. Some clients will have questions, and some shop owners—whether misinformed or trying to protect their pricing models—will go out of their way to discredit what we do. They’ll say it’s not possible to cut out the middlemen. That our products can’t compete with the big names. That if it doesn’t have a major brand logo, it must be inferior. But the truth is: most of these brands are built on the same raw materials we use—just with a marketing budget and markup added.
We’ve heard it all, and we’re not here to argue online. We're here to invite you to come see for yourself. Ask the hard questions. Get hands-on with the materials. Let us show you the test data, the raw components, the real-world results—and compare them side-by-side.

This isn’t about showing off. It’s about standing behind what we do.
Once you understand the science, feel the difference, and see the results, it all clicks. That’s why our business is growing fast. That’s why more people are choosing us over overpriced, overhyped alternatives.
