Window Tint FAQ

Car tint at Texas Tinted starts at $249. The final price depends on your vehicle, how many windows you tint and which ceramic film you choose; top-tier films like 3M Crystalline and HITEK Ceramic Ultra cost more because they block the most heat.

Most cars take 1 to 3 hours. The time depends on the vehicle, how many windows are being tinted, and whether old film has to be removed first.

Keep the windows up for about 3 to 5 days so the adhesive can set. Small water pockets or a hazy look in the first weeks are normal and clear on their own as the moisture evaporates. Don't press or pop them.

Both are non-metal and won’t fade to purple. Ceramic film blocks much more infrared heat, so the car stays cooler at the same shade. That is why every car we tint gets ceramic. See ceramic vs. carbon.

Yes. We remove failed film and adhesive, including from rear glass with defroster lines.

On the front side windows, Texas requires at least 25% light transmission measured through the film and glass together, with no more than 25% reflectance. Rear side windows can be any darkness, and the back glass can be any darkness if the vehicle has outside mirrors on both sides. Windshield film is limited to the area above the AS-1 line or the top 5 inches. Because factory glass is not perfectly clear, we usually recommend 30–35% film on the front doors. See our Texas tint law guide.

No. Front side windows must meter at least 25% through film and glass. 20% is legal on rear side windows and the back glass.

Only a strip above the AS-1 line or within the top 5 inches, at 25% VLT or lighter, not red, blue or amber.
