extra layer of tint?

my car has like...the lightest tint possible. any chance that i can get it re-tinted? i kno taking the tint off is a bitch...but is it possible to just add on a new layer of reflective tint?

just remeber if you have say 50% tint that if you get a new set of 35% tint over that, it would actually be 35% of the 50% which would give you a total of 17.5% tint.

if you layered it you will ahve to worry about the percentage being lower and not legal at that point. I have seen people layer tint to only pull it all off and re-tint the windows because of bubbles and just looking crappy.

tint really isnt that hard to take off. just start in a corner picking at it, then peel it off. spray with window washer as you peel to make it easier.

baggedblue02 will become famous soon enough

I had a camaro when I was 16 and had had it tinted. Then I got them tint over about a year later. That was over 4 years ago and its still on there. Car doesn't run but its blacked out

what % do you have? i'm getting mind re-done but i'm just having them take it off and re-do...this is also costing me $150, which isn't bad. $200 was the first time for 35%

Wolfgang5884 has a spectacular aura about

spray amonia on the tint then place a garbage bag on the tint with the amonia on it. Let it sit for about 15-20 min. then it should come right off with no problem
