Brian Arnett was working as an EMT when he crossed paths with patient from Saint Louis. This encounter would soon change his life after he introduced Brian to the newly developed automotive tinting industry. There was NOBODY else doing tinting in Kansas City. This was at a time when tools didn’t exist, and they were spraying adhesive on the windows and then applying the film. There were no machines to cut the patterns for them, or Youtube videos to show them how to do it. The only tint color offered at the time was silver. 1975 was the year he officially established Midwest Tinting. Little did he know that it would become the #1 choice of consumers, dealerships, body shops and collision centers for tinting and paint protection.

As the industry progressed, Brian spent the majority of his time researching the best products and tools that became available. Business started booming and before he knew it, he needed a lot more man power – and a lot more space. Over the last 45 years, he went from a one man show, in a one car garage, to THREE locations, and over 25 employees. Business expanded beyond automotive tinting, to commercial and residential tinting, and then eventually into other aftermarket customizations.

Being a leading innovator of tinting in the Kansas City area, Brian has continued to pride himself in having the most highly trained technicians, and offering the best products on the market. By holding multiple titles and accreditations, and competing annually amongst the best installers in the world at the IWFA tinting competition, our team continues to show consumers why they can trust our master craftsmanship.
