The shades on this job
- 5% tint (limo tint)
- The darkest shade most shops carry. Only about 5% of visible light gets through, so from outside the glass reads black and you cannot see in during the day.
- 20% tint (factory match)
- Close to the privacy glass a lot of trucks and SUVs come with, which is why it gets used so often to match front doors to the back.
- 35% tint (medium)
- Clearly tinted without being dark. You can see into the car in daylight, and seeing out at night is easy.
In Arizona the back side windows and rear glass can be any shade. Front side windows have to let more than 33% of light through.
Reading the notes
- Removal
- The old film and its adhesive come off before anything new goes on. Faded, bubbled, or peeling film cannot be tinted over.
- Full windshield
- Film over the whole windshield, usually a light shade picked for heat rather than looks. Arizona only allows windshield tint above the AS-1 line, so ask before you copy this one.
- Rear half
- Every window behind the front doors, plus the back glass. On a pickup that is the rear doors and the rear window.
