What's the best car tint brand and color?

[Retz]

Huper Optik and VKool comes to my mind.

*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.

*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.

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?

*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.

Window Treatment

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.

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.
