3 layers of tint

at first i started with 70% v-kool tint then it was too light and added a second layer of madico onyx 35% rear and 50% front. it was still too light so added 3rd layer of sunguard supreme 40% rear and 50% front. total of 3 layers lol

reason i didn't just take out the original tint and retint was the first layer of v-kool was extrememly expensive and didn't want to remove that.

Did you tint the windshield? It looks like it. I can't think of a quicker way of getting a ticket. I don't know what the laws are in the state you live in but I don't know any that allow for windshield tint. I can see cops who would normally not hassle someone for tint going after someone just for windshield tint.

@Soulrider2012 Yeah the windshield on the maxima was tinted with 70% vkool tint. It was the lightest tint I could find at the time that blocks heat and UV. I now have 80% llumar air blue on my current car's windshield and it's not noticeable at all. Even the 70% isn't noticeable in person. A cloudy day and my crappy camera makes everything look darker than it is. I got it mainly to block heat and UV since that's the biggest piece of glass on a car letting in the most heat.

i grabed a dark paint spray can and prayed my windows and now they are tinted permanently

@eldoblejj

Hahaha best cheap idea ever!

[tintsnmore]

i layerd 5% twice and well yea, worse than limo and driving at night, my god lol

@FrankRizzo762 yeah windshield tint helps a bunch, it's the biggest piece of glass on the car letting in the most heat lol right now i have llumar air blue 80% on my current car's windshield and even though it's not legal, it's not even noticeable. the llumar air blue is the lightest tint i can find and it blocks 43% of the heat coming in or something like that.

@lowincash Yea I never heard of that brand,and Oh damn that's expensive,but if it was worth it for you then I understand.I got 5% llumar all around,and it keeps my car nice and cool,but it can't block it all out.I plan on getting the doctors sticker to allow windshield tint,and that will make a significant difference.

[lowincash]

@FrankRizzo762 yup i know what you mean, the first layer i had was 70% vkool, and it's a very good tint trust me lol that was expensive that's why i didn't want to remove it and just ended up getting another layer to make it darker. vkool alone was like over $700 for all around the whole car including windshield. it's been so long i forgot what i used for those other layers.

[FrankRizzo762]

@lowincash Idk what type of film you have on there,but it doesn't matter how many layers you have,if it's a cheap roll of film it won't block out uv rays good,that's why you can get a tint job for 150 or 500.It's all about what type of film your putting on there.

If I put 15% over 20% tint how dark would it be. I was getting mixed answers at tint shops so i just want another opinion.
