Meet Your Installation Trainers
Dustin Gonzalez (Charleston, SC)
Dustin started tinting in 2002, focusing on windows for homes, offices, and boats. It wasn’t until 2005 that he began tinting automobiles. A few years later, Dustin learned to install paint protection film and became an installation trainer for a film pattern software company. It was there that he developed a passion for training and mentoring trainees as they embarked on a new career path. Dustin joined us in 2023 as lead trainer. When asked about his favorite aspect of training, Dustin replied, “I am still in contact with people that I trained years ago and have built many wonderful relationships”.
