Default Tinting over Tint

Those who have tint OVER more tint, how is that holding up for you? Is it starting to peel off or anything? I'm wondering because I wanna put 15% over 15% on the back 3 windows since formula one pinnacle doesn't carry a 5%. Thanks

I don't think that can be done, especially if a heat gun has to warp the tint film to fit the glass.

Just get the right tint put on once, even if you have to look for a different brand...

Wouldn't 15% over 15% = 2.25%

I'll put it this way, the darkest they have in the pinnacle series is 15% I want it darker than that.

I have seen double 5% and the sun looks like.... well yeah its sort of there. Why do some have double 5%? i dont know.

But going back to the first question.. yes you can have tint over tint.

It does and I love how it look. It's helpful to have double tints in south florida since it's like the earth's oven down here.
