double car tint.... added protection?

[rfgoons]

Hi! I bought my car (kia Carens) two years ago with free 3m tint. It is a clear tint (I think it is crystalline but I am not sure). At first it is ok with us but lately my wife and the kids always complained about the heat and the lack of privacy. Hence; last week I decided to add another layer of 3m BC magic tint on the present tint.

Will the additional layer of tint provide added protection in terms of UV and heat rejection?

[shotgun]

sir please give feedback on the heat rejection of your double tint. was the installation of the 2nd tint smooth and without any bubbles?

[FlyingTOOlow]

Having double tint will definitely increase the heat and UV rejection. In fact it offers more safety if the window or glass were broken intentionally or accidentally.

Important factor to consider is: when you put a second layer tint, make sure your first layer (usually the old tint) should be a good brand/quality and still in top condition. No point installing a new tint over your "Talong" (purple) color tint or old tint with bubbles or defects.

para sakin malaki tulong sa heat rejection.. 3M medium black 1st layer, platinum medium black 2nd layer..

Hey guys, buhayin ko muna itong thread.

Just like the TS, I had free tint from the Nissan dealership (Platinum Magic Tint, Very light shade), this was roughly 7 months ago, and now I would to change it for a darker shade.

Just want to know if it's ok to put another layer of Magic Tint on top of Magic Tint? Will it no be problematic in terms of reflections?

imho 1st layer magic 2nd layer black tint, may friend did a double layer of super black tint for privacy but driving condition at night really suffers.

of course added protection yan...

ako naka 3m super black, dalawang patong sides and rear. all i can say is, 100% UV protection! hindi tumatagos ang araw. 100% privacy din, kahit dikit mo mukha mo sa salamin wala kang makikita...

but i do not suggest this, hindi pwede sa malalabo ang mata. lighter shade na dalawang patong pwede pa.

ok lang naman siguro.. pero ingat baka masayang pera. Sa pagkaka intindi ko kasi tatlo ang source of heat na galing sa sun. 40% galing sa light, 50% galing sa infrared, tas ung sobra sa UV rays ata. Kapag gumamit ka ng high end na tint kagaya ng crystalline(clear) may uv and infrared rejection na 95%++ so matitira nalang ung 40% heat from light. Onti nalang un. Pag nag double tint ka ng isa pang crystalline(clear) since wala na infrared at uv wala na rin sya kwenta. Ang magandang combo para malamig talaga ay crystalline(clear) at isang shaded(pangontra light). Para tanggal uv, IR, saka light = less heat. May mga high end naman na tint with shade na. Yun nalang bilhin mo.

Kapag low budget ka isang murang tint+ another murang tint = High end tint? I don't know. haha. Baka magpatong patong ung IR rejection. Pero sure na ung light rejection ay madadagdagan. Yung UV naman ay wala na madadagdag kasi alam ko lahat ng authentic na tint 99% UV rejection na. Kaya wala ka na madadagdag dun. Compute mo nalang siguro sa IR rejection. Kung magpatong patong man yun IR rejection baka makagawa ka ng isang highend tin sa kaka gamit ng mga mumurahin. Try mo lang dalwang BC 40. Mukhang maganda yung mga BC e parang Crystalline nadin.

Pero yung mga sabi ko ay mga echos echos ko lang at walang proven testing or experiment. HAhah pero goodluck sa mag ttry.

You should always reconsider when you try to double tint. Double tint=compromised safety. One might think that its added security by not being seen, but drivers always forget that they're less safe at night because they cannot see well outside, thus, are likely to get into an accident.

Have double tint on my cars, except for the front windshield. It's sometimes challenging at night when you have to back up in a dark/not so well lit area, especially when it rains. If your eyesight is not too good, better go for black chrome tint, which will give you good heat rejection, and can also keep your interiors hidden, depending on the light coming from outside.

i'm thinking of adding a layer of black shade tint over the solargard quantum on my FD... kung medium black baka sumobra dilim, most probably light lang... ok kaya Platinum tint? me black shade ba sila?

[mazzipino]

Guys a bit of a dummy question: I have magic tint wrapped around. If I add a layer of black shade tint (medium shade) to my existing magic tint, will it still have the magic/mirror effect on the outside?

TIA!!

[cjv_justice]

paps ganyan din concern ko kase yung solargard ko na quantum magic effect e gusto ko pa paitiman ng konti so I'm contemplating na baka lighter shade of black nalang baka sumobra dilim kapag medium... yung brand nalang pinag pipilian...

sir did u go through with it?

i'm thinking of putting a lighter shade of black din on my platinum magic

[cjv_justice]

hindi ko na tinuloy sir... baka siguro pag marami rami nalang extra dough papalitan ko nalang ulit, siguro yung Solargard na black shade... uunahin ko nalang muna yung sa pick-up kase talagang pumangit na yung 3M niya...

besides noticeable parin yung mabilis na paglamig nung interior kahit nabilad yung sasakyan so +1 sa Solargard Quantum...

Sir I went through with it earlier today. Put Solargard Super Black on my existing Platinum Magic and wow it really is hard to see! But I only did the rear window and the rear side windows, on the outside naman it still holds it's magic/mirror effect on all windows which is what I wanted to achieve. I'm not sure if I'll further tint the front side doors.

Na try na erpats ko to sa innova, Galing po sa Casa yung 1st layer. 3m Tint na light black shade. then Pinatungan ng super black. (IDK whats the brand) ang kinalabasan? parang LIMO TINTS. pero mejo mahirap mag drive sa gabi. pero ayos lang. For security purposes din ang dating.

[userfriendly]

Did this yesterday. Platinum magic yung lightest shade on top of existing Llumar med black. Hindi na kita ang loob so complete privacy. Also pretty good visibility at night. Night visibility is better than the el chepo casa 3M super black that i replaced with the Llumar.
