1. |
What is the difference between HP tint film & standard film? |
We ONLY use HP film which is high performance. It is "metalized" to include an extra layer of metal that protects the film from fading & peeling. It also includes another layer called the SR coating which resists scratching. Our HP films do cost us more but we want the best for our customers. |
|
2. |
How long will my tint job take to "dry out" all of the bubbles? |
It depends on the type of tint you had installed & the weather conditions. Our HP tint films are twice as thick as any other "cheaper" films so it holds the moisture of the installation solution in longer. Expect all of the bubbles, water streaks & hazing to become completely clear in 2 - 6 weeks. Hot dry weather will speed up the drying while cold wet weather can extend the drying time to the entire 6 weeks. |

3. |
Do you warranty your tint installations? |
We warranty all of our installations for up to the lifetime of your ownership of the car. Some restrictions do apply and the warranty is limited to the failure of adhesive, peeling, cracking or in some cases any excessive color changing. |

4. |
How long will my tint last? |
Auto tinting has come a long way in the last 5 years. You can expect it to last realistically 6-8 years before normal wear and tear set in. Just as the paint on your car won't last forever, tint has it's limitations on pigmentation and quality. Considering paint jobs cost thousands of dollars, a tint job is a bargain. If you plan to keep your car forever and it is out in the elements daily, plan on replacing it every 6-8 years. |

5. |
Does tinting really help with UV rays over factory tint? |
All of our HP films offer 99%+ UV rejection in both UVA & UVB. Factory tinting is much lower in UV protection. Tinting your windows will keep your interior looking factory fresh for many extra years especially in Colorado. |
|
6. |
Will my car stay cooler with aftermarket tint? |
Even tinting your car with our lightest shade will lower your cars interior temperature by many degrees. Depending on how dark you go, you can expect a decrease in the temperature by up to 60% over having no tint. |
|
7. |
What does the percentage mean for tint? |
The percentage represents the amount of visible light that is let through the tint. For example, 10% tint blocks 90% of all visible light allowing only 10% to pass through, that is why 10% is darker than say 30%. The lower the number, the darker the tint. PLEASE CHECK WITH ALL LOCAL LAWS BEFORE CHOOSING YOUR TINT! |

8. |
Will tint protect me in an accident? |
While we can't say it can save your life of course, it can help reduce injuries in accidents. The bonding of the glass together by the tint film will greatly reduce the amount of flying glass debris in an accident. Also, in the event of a break in, the tint may cause an additional deterrent to theft, and it makes clean up alot easier in any event. |
