Frequent
Questions.

How long does a tint install take?

A standard two-door or four-door vehicle usually takes about 2 to 3 hours depending on the complexity of the glass. We recommend dropping it off for a half-day if possible.

What is the legal limit in Louisiana?

Louisiana loosened its tint law in 2025 (Act 143, effective August 1, 2025). Front and back side windows must let at least 25% of light through (VLT), and the rear window at least 12% — and the same limits now apply to cars, SUVs, vans, and trucks. We'll consult with you in the shop to make sure you get exactly what you want and stay legal.

Can I roll my windows down right away?

You need to wait 3 to 5 days before rolling your windows down to allow the curing process to fully lock the film to the glass.

What happens if the film bubbles or peels?

Because we exclusively use LLumar film, every installation comes with a nationwide lifetime warranty. If a defect occurs like peeling, bubbling, or cracking, we will completely replace and reinstall the film at no cost to you.

What is the difference between Carbon and Ceramic tint?

Carbon tint is a visual upgrade that provides deep black hues that will not fade or turn purple. Ceramic tint uses nanotechnology to block up to 63% of solar heat and infrared light, making it drastically cooler inside your vehicle even when parked outside in the Louisiana summer.

Will tinting interfere with my GPS or cell signal?

Absolutely not. Cheaper metallic films from other brands can cause signal blocking, but our LLumar Carbon and Ceramic films are strictly non-metallic, ensuring zero interference with Bluetooth, RFID toll tags, or cellular data.

How should I clean my tinted windows?

Wait at least 30 days before cleaning the inside of your new tint to allow it to cure. When you do clean, use an ammonia-free glass cleaner and a soft microfiber towel. Do not use Windex or abrasive scrubbers, or you run the risk of clouding the film.

Do you remove old, bad tint?

Yes. If you have "purple" or bubbled tint from a previous install, we will safely strip the old film, clean the adhesive off the glass, and apply fresh LLumar. Removal generally adds 1-2 hours to the service time and incurs a minor stripping fee.
