What's the best car tint brand and color?

[comecum]

Just got the free tint from casa with 3M BC sreies, kaso lakas ng reflection ng instrument panel light from the the driver side window and and radio panel light from the rear window at night ng Strada ko. Ano pwede ko ipalit dito from Solargard without the reflections?

[turniphead]

Go for 3M Black Chrome or the equivalent Solargard tint (I keep forgetting the name). If your goal is privacy + outside visibility, you should get those with visible light transmission between 20 and 35. That's usually the number after the tint (i.e. BC35, VK60, CS20, etc). Also, you should get a lighter shade for your windshield.

Since magpapa-retint ka na lang din, check the heat rejection rates if you do decide on something to maximize your purchase. The 3M BC is good enough though.

sir fleas,

Babagay kaya ang 3M Black Chrome 35 sa Gray Metallic color ng Vios 1.3G? Ano naman kaya ang exact name and code nung para sa windshield na 3M din ang brand para di sobrang dilim pag night driving?

First time ko kasi bibili ng brand new car. Eh 3M lang yung brand na ino-offer nila as freebie sa casa.

Appreciate your advice if ever may ibang color at shade na mas bagay. The objective is privacy and outside visibility. Thanks in advance.

Sirs, ano magandang full windshield tint na hindi masyadong kita sa labas pero parang clear pa din at hindi mahirap ang view sa gabi? Any idea saan magandang magpagawa? Thanks!

Superblack sa sides at rear. Medium Black sa harap, depende kung malinaw mata mo/malakas ang headlight/hid. Kung hindi mag light ka sa windshield para hindi ka mahirapan sa night driving.

Yung nagpawa ako sa LA cars shop ok naman hindi ako minalas at ayos ang gawa,

Bago lang ako sa tint na usapan, sa ngayon nag rereserch ako ng magandang tint at ang purpose ko ay

1st: Privacy - gusto ko hindi nakikita ang loob (araw man o gabi)
Naiisip ko mag magic tint pero yung kaibigan ko na nakamagic tint pag sa gabi at walang ilaw SOBRANG visible ang loob ng kotse pero pag may ilaw hindi ka na makikita sa loob kung hindi reflection ng labas...

2nd: Heat rejection kasi sa panahon ngayon sobrang init...

Eye visibility ko ok naman feel ko masmataas naman ang eyesight ko kesa sa average peroson. pero hindi ko pa nattry sumakay sa kotse na heavily tinted kasi lahat ng kotse na nagamit ko lageng visible ang loob.

Last question. Ok ba ang "sungard" tint kasi may kakilala ako dun at 3800 daw lahat na ng window... hindi ko lang sure kung maganda ang brand na yan kasi binabasa ko sa thread na to at wala pang bumabanggit

[RC-V]

Concern ko lang sa Solargard, after 4 years parang naging medium black yung super black. Parang nagfade yung pagkadark ng color ng tint.


*gymness

try other brand na lang na tested.

[gymness]

Ahhh salamat, ang tanong ko na lang ay anung ok na tint brand na pwede kong magamit na swak sa purpose ko? ng privacy at heat rejection? most likely budget ko ay mga 5k.

AY sir RC, "sun-gard" po meaning ko hindi "solargard"

[calix0305]

Thanks for your patronage sir.

Hi Sir LACars,

Inquire po sana ko how much pa-full tint ng Mitsubishi Mirage na Gray.
ito po yung requirements ko:

1. Gusto ko sana hindi nagca-cause ng RF interference at non-reflective
2. maliwanag sa gabi
3. tapos sa araw ok naman ang heat rejection
4. gusto ko shade is medium dark lang or kung ano bagay sa gray na color ng car ko.

Salamat po.

double the chance of mistakes? double the price?

IMHO, the 5% visible light transmission series of several brands are dark enough not to be seen from outside. tapos tints with warranties do not cover double tint layers.

furthermore, if you are willing to pay for the extra price, why not go for the huper optik CS05, it's multi-layered already, quite thick and visibility from inside is not as compromised as having two layers of tints.

just saying

Hey *fleas2016,

Did not realize that I had left a discussion I had on this thread hanging -- for almost 6 months at that. Hehe! Anyhow, thanks for your reply. Allow me to put in more cents worth for discussion purposes:

I agree with the double chance of mistakes and double the price. Thing is, in my case, the first layer came free from the casa, so I was really just spending for 1 layer. Plus sayang naman yung 3M super dark na first layer.

5% visible light transmission being dark enough not to be seen from the outside. Not quite though, at least not for 3M and even Titanium/Platinum. I could still see into the van's and suv's windows given the correct light positioning and brightness. Anyhow, maybe for most Super black is enough. I was looking for black out.

Warranties. True agree on this too. Haven't needed to claim warranty on tint yet, so still lucky to have a good installer and lucky that the part of the roll he's been installing has been good.

Huper Optik. Well, it wasn't around yet early last year (or maybe it wasn't as well advertised) so I never really got wind of it.

Incidentally, I'm on the lookout for the darkest Super Black tint available locally. The suv needs some new window tint (sides and back) after 8 years. This time, however, not looking for double layers, which is why the darkest super black tint is what I'm out for. If the Huper will cost like double layers, then it's off the shortlist as well.

Any suggestions?

Huper Optik and VKool comes to my mind.

[red_one]

*IMm29: you may try getting Solar Gard HP Supreme 6 with 4% VLT. price is cheaper than V-Kool and Huper Optik. plus comes with 5 year warranty.

up lang po yung thread..

Mga Sir I'm interested in having my car tinted around 5% all over. Problem is I own a Toyota 1980 macho machine. My friends tell me that having it tinted is not the best look for the car. I do like the classic look of the car with it's clear windows and all. what I don't like is the heat getting in the car thru the windows and the lack of privacy. I know that 5% is not much but I think it's better than nothing. What is your opinion on this? BTW the car color is deep red, not sure if it matters.

[red_one]

*erwin.brion: do you mean 5% VLT or just 5% additional shade?

40-50% VLT will give you a clear look. see below.

while 60-70% VLT will give you a super clear look. e.g. 3M CR70, Solar Gard LX70, V-Kool 70, etc.

try 3M Simulator to see the effect..

You could go medium black sir erwin if you don't want too much darkness inside.lolz.
If you're getting the 3M tint go for 3M color stable its 5 years warranty. Don't get the FX ST its 3 years warranty only and it changes color.

[erwin.brion]

Sir Red_one and Gearspeed thanks sa reply..

Nice info sa VLT.. is that the gauge being used by all the brands or just 3M? I've decided to have the car tinted. Would schedule it next month. And would definitely go for the lighter shades. Thanks sa advise mga sir. I know this is not the right thread.. but any advise on where to have it done or better yet any recommended shops?

[red_one]

*erwin.brion: VLT is a standard parameter for all tint brand, along with TSER (Total Solar Energy Rejected).

i suggest, mag-backread ka muna sa Solar Gard, 3M, Huper Optik at V-Kool threads dito sa Window Treatment section bago ka magdecide kung ano pa-install mo. madami dyan user feedback and photos.

for my ride, i use Solar Gard HP Quantum 37 on the windshield and front windows.. installed at Solar Gard Santolan branch.

Here is my own bad experience in motortown from a tint installer.

Itong si George the tint installer nagsuggest na sa iba ko na lang ipalagay yung tint(which is my idea in the first place).Sinabihan pa ako nung installer na "after nito sir wala na tayong problema ah". Hindi na rin niya naayos yung iba pang sablay dahil hindi na daw mapeperfect yun(which is yun ang lagi niyang sinasabi) at kung ano ano pang dahilan kahit na kita naman niya madaming bula at sablay yung tint. Next nung ikakabit ko na yung tint na binigay sa akin nagtanong tanong ako dun sa ibang shop na inisa isa ko na halos lahat ng shop dun kung hindi absent yung installer ayaw na nila gawin yung sasakyan ko at kahit sa freelancer ayaw na din nila. Nagtataka ako bakit ganun. Yung isa sinabi pa sa akin nung pinakita ko yung sablay sa rear winshield ko na kaya gusto ko palitan yung tint at may dala na akong tint nun "walang problema dyan sir ganyan talaga yan."Yung isang installer sinabihan pa ako na "hindi ko kaya yan sir".May nagsabi pa na "hindi na maperperfect yan sir".
Parang lumalabas pinaghandaan na nila at pag magreklamo ka gigipitin ka ng lahat dun sa lugar na yun.

[red_one]

it's best to have tint installed from an authorized shop and make sure you get the full warranty. example, my Solar Gard tint comes with 5 years warranty from Solar Gard Santolan branch for peace of mind.
