Good Idea/Deal or not?
A few months back I had my windows tinted on my coupe. I got the 35% platinum. Its very reflective and looks good especially at dusk and on overcast days. The only problem is that on extremely sunny days you can see straight through the tint. I spoke to the guys at the shop that did the tinting for me about what could be done to darken them up. They said that they could put a layer of 35% charcoal tint over the platinum, and this would darken it up to about 20% and be extremely reflective. They said that they would only charge me $115 for the job. Is it a good idea to double layer the tint though? [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-confused.gif[/IMG]

i was told by many shops that double tinting the windows could cause bubbling VERY easily....and it was not a very smart idea
i have 35% tint too and want 20%, but i was not going to pay $100 for them to take it off, and another 130 to put 20% tint on..
but its your choice, i know you can do it, just dont know how well it will turn out...

Rep Power: 0 I have the same tint. On really sunny days you can tell your window's have something on them, but you can still see through it. But i never thought about puting another layer over it. If the shop will waranty everything then do it. I might call the shop I got mine done at when I have some more money. I'd say go for it.
I dont know about problems, but I can tell you know it looks sweet as hell.
My bro has a 96 Suburban. They come with a factory mirror tint, but he wanted more. So he got the limo tint in the back, and lemme tell you, it looks really good. If you go with a limo tint like he did, u cant see through the back if you try (from the outside) From far away it looks really good too.
I would def. suggest it.
