The peeling or bubbles will depend on the installer mainly, and the tint. Assuming the first layer was done by a competent installer and cured long enough, installing the second layer won't be a problem.

Oh, just one caveat. The rubber lining on the door frame that guides the window is harder and or thicker on some cars, so this may cause problems if the tint used is too thick. This used to be a problem on my circa 1995 Mazda 626. Isn't an issue with my current rides (Toyotas and a Hyundai) though.

An experienced and/or competent installer will know this and will check it.

Just want to ask if there is a ruling re: which layer to install first. Is it dark OVER lighter shade or vice versa? Or anything goes? Is it ok to have a double layer of MAGIC TINT?

If it's both black, any would do. I usually go with the darker one first, then kung kulang, add another layer.

What I don't like about magic tint is the glare. I think it would be better if you did the magic first then went for a black second layer. Pangbawas sa glare at the same time pampadilim sa labas.

Did this before during college days with my car back then, a Civic EK Wrap around magic tint (light) tapos pinatungan ko ng 3M super black yung sides and back glass, ganda sana ng heat rejection kaso hirap sa gabi, well.. I was younger then kaya di problema yung vision, yun nga lang pag aatras obligado kang buksan ang windows. A couple of years later inulit ko to sa nabili kong "war car" at the time, a boxtype Sentra 1.6 which I got dirt cheap, yun naman naka dark magic tint na from the previous owner pero pinanggigimik ko kasi yun kaya pinatungan ko ng cheapo super black tint galing sa tabi tabi ng Banawe. Feeling ko nga minsan parang pininturahan ng pylox black yung mga salamin ko pero nasanay din ako. The person who bought it off me scraped the tints even before leaving our house, wala daw sya makita.

^Eh kung Pylox effect ba naman. Sight rejection, hindi lang heat rejection!

Perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with double tint at all.

Advisable not to get it done on the front windshield and the front side windows - everywhere else should be fine. Best brand applied to the window and even a not-so well known brand can be the second layer.

Thank you for the advice sir!
