Colonial Heights' #1 Tint Shop

Most installs take 1-2 hours. The exact time depends on how many windows you're having done, the film you choose, and your vehicle, so larger jobs run a bit longer. You'll get a clear time estimate when you book, and almost everything is finished the same day.

That purple fade comes from the cheap dyed film discount shops use, and it is not what we install. Our carbon, polycarbonate, and ceramic tiers are premium USA-made films backed by a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, and fading. Our entry-level Optix HP is a USA-made metalized and dyed film with a 2-year warranty - ask us what it covers before you book.

Give the film 3-5 days to cure before lowering the windows so it can fully bond. You can drive right away, just leave the windows up for a few days.

Carbon film is a great-value option with solid heat rejection and a deep matte look. Ceramic (our Extreme IR) rejects the most heat and infrared, stays crystal-clear for GPS and phone signal, and is the top pick for the hottest summer days.

It depends on the film. Optix Excel, Optix Extreme, and Optix Extreme IR carry a lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, cracking, fading, and delamination for as long as you own the vehicle. Optix HP, our entry-level film, carries a 2-year warranty.
