Tinted windows

Havin the Bus tinted tomorow, but can't decide of how dark to go. Thnkin along the lines of fully smoked apart from the front's for privacy mainly. Anyone have any different views on this area. I think it helps the zaf being black to go so dark. Tinted windows Icon_biggrin

Will post finished picks up tomorow...

does it keep the interior a little cooler on the hot sunny days andromeda? i'm in yorkshire and i found a company called Fade n Shade, seen there work plus he does all the cars for toyota across the road. £220 with lifetime guarantee but he's also puttin a clear film on front windows to help keep glass together in the event of an accident Tinted windows Icon_neutral

i find it heats inside up more as black atracts heat.

I'm not a huge fan of as dark as poss. A couple of stages under looks good IMO.

And got the week off next week, sooo i'm gonna have a crack at colour coding the chrome gril sapphire black. Saw a "how to" by mixman on another forum and i prefer it. Went for 2 tins of plastic primer, 2 proper tins of 20R black sapphire paint and a tin of laquer today, so wish me luck and i'll be doin my own little how to with pics!! Tinted windows Icon_cool

I agree, looks nice mate.

yea i'm happy with it, didn't go for full on black. Also even though where not supposed too, i had the fronts done the lightest as poss. The guy said there about 10 percent over legal limit but in his 6 year tinting cars he ain't had to take any off yet. from the inside it looks about the same as before.

Could you possibly take a pic side on so we can see through the front windows? I am curious what they look 10% over as I have front tints as well.

That's great - many thanks. It's hard to see from a pic as there are many variables, but it does give a good idea.
