Frequently Asked Questions
What is the darkest legal window tint in Queensland?
For most vehicles in Queensland, the darkest legal tint is 35% VLT on the front side windows and 20% VLT on the rear side windows and rear windscreen. We can help you choose the best option to suit your needs while remaining compliant with Queensland regulations.
How long does it take to tint my vehicle?
Most vehicles can be completed within a few hours. We'll advise you of an estimated completion time when booking.
How long should I leave my windows up after tinting?
We recommend leaving your windows up for at least 48 hours after installation to allow the film to properly adhere to the glass.
