Can you put tint over tint?

[SethPhillips 5,000+ posts]

yes you can. My friend wasnt satisfied with his so they put another layer on to make it darker

but how long after the first application???

you can pull it over on some people... but im to proud of my work to tint over tint that has been on longer then a month.

answer to question 1.no you can not!... if you want good result's you have to razorblade clean the windows... you can not remove some of the stuff with any window cleaner...... you will have hella bubbles...... and it will look stupid....

This is going to depend on three very important things:

1. The quality and type of the tint film.

2. The quality of the cleaner used to do a thorough job.

3. The quality of the work performed by the tint installer.

it is possible.... but getting youre edges right is a difficult task!! just do it right the first time instead of beating around the bush.

I wholeheartedly agree with you!

I've put layers of aftermarket tint on my car before. 2layers on the hatch and on the drivers and passanger doors. 3 layers on the rear swing out window (1980 Civic LX)

No problems at all.

U can do it. Who cares what the law is? My back windows are 5% over 15.

im not worried about getting pulled over...... i have awsome lawyer. ( mother's boyfriend hehe ) and i use the excuss of bad eye's.... plus if i absolutely have to remove it.. i just go back to my shop and re-tint...

too bad that excuse doesnt work for spelling/grammar...

and if youre eyes are bad already, then how does dark, nearly impossible tint help... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

and i will agree with you about doing it right the first time, but all your other excuses seem pretty far from being correct. putting tint over tint is fine, as long as you clean the subsurface and use wuality materials and proper techniques.

and if the question is going over factory tint, then no doubt you are fine, seeing as that is tinted glass, not tint film.

Ive tinted over factory tint, but never aftermarket

"factory tint" is almost always a tinted glass, and not a layer of film.

tinting over tint can be done, but can start distoring your view of seeing out.

Yes you can it just needs to dry about twice as long and its a bit more difficult to do. my buddy rolls with 2 layers of 5% tint on his truck. and no he has no problem rolling down his windows tint isnt that thick 2 layers shouldn't make a difference.

i doubt you would wanna do that. it'll make the window too thick and it won't go down. just take the old off.
as far as the windshield being tinted, good luck. check your local laws

HAHAHAHAHA! thats great

Classic example of 'talking out of your ***'

I have done tint over tint for over 10 years and never had a problem as long as it is done correctly usually when I go for example I got 50% on my front windows, did not like it so I went back a few days later got another layer of 50% and it matches the back great.

Not sure how you add it up but he told me the two layers come out to like 30-35% but I dunno as long as it matches.

A real tinter would never tint over tint anyway..
