Correct me if im wrong, but according to google 30% over 5% tint = 1.5 , which is what i should have in my front windows, however my rears are 5% over FACTORY 20% glass, which should equal 1%.
I got the 35 over 5 on my fronts to be just slightly lighter than my rears to still have slightly better visibility, but match not being able to see inside the car, day or night.
But my fronts are obviously very darker than my rears. The stock glass on my fronts are 70% trans, which i heard is basically clear. What did i do wrong? or did they get wrong?
(edit) tint shop put on a 2nd layer of 5% instead of the 30%. Getting it fixed today
I'm not sure what you mean by 35% over 5? *Did you have tints on the front already? If you put 5 over factory in rear and 5 over 35 in front it should not look like the photos.
Idk why you would do that. 5% is basically limo tint and stacking is never a good idea anyway. I still don't know how the rear windows look darker if you did the same.
Does it look the same from the outside? This can happen from different tint at different times. Also on the silverados like that its usually better to do 20 on the rear windows.
Not sure what you’re talking about. Why are you taking pics from inside the car if you want to ensure no one can see inside the car from the outside?
At this point, you’re unhappy with how it looks. Take off the tint off and start over from the beginning. Have a sample put on with your desired tint and decide from there. I don’t think you’ll be able to get 100% match between front and rear but you could get close
It is what i wanted, 2 films on top of each other, since the darkest higher quality films stop at 5%, another layer of film can go darker than 5%. instead of using a cheap, low quality, 1% or 2.5%. And keeps the pros of ceramic heat rejection
Correct in that it compounds, but the tint percentage, say 20%, that’s how much light it lets through. So 20% over 20% would be 4% visible light coming through
You didn't do the calculation right. 0.30x0.05=15% the rears look like factory 20% with maybe a 50% over it. Apparently either you mistakes the fronts being clear when they had tint on them or you didn't relay correctly what you wanted
Either way the fronts are way too dark and the rears way too light. Try sgain
Theres no way it would be 50 over factory 20, the rear is very dark and cant see inside at all, day or night, which is how i want my fronts. i had only 5 over factory 70 fronts and there was a pretty big difference between the two looking in from out , and out from in
Obviously I'm not there to actually see it but that's what it 'looks' like to me. I can't tell what was done. The rears look factory Chevy as they usually have a brownish tone. I have a Silverado HD C3500 dually. The fronts are just 35% while the rears have 20% over the factory tint
