1. Understanding Tint Percentages (VLT)

Visible Light Transmission (VLT) is the percentage of light allowed through both the window and the film. The lower the number, the darker the tint:

• 5% — Limo Tint: Maximum privacy, limited night visibility.
• 20% — Dark Tint: Popular for rear windows.
• 35% — Medium Tint: Balanced look and heat rejection.
• 50% — Light Tint: Subtle, glare-reducing.

Film Masters FL kits are cut precisely to your year, make, and model, making application fast and accurate.

2. What Makes Pre-Cut Tint Different?

Traditional tinting involves bulky film rolls, hand-cutting, and guesswork. With Film Masters FL pre-cut kits, every window section is digitally designed and machine-cut to your exact vehicle specifications.

• No measuring or trimming required
• Reduces waste and air bubbles
• Faster installation with consistent edges

This makes DIY installs quicker and more professional—without the shop prices.

3. Installation Steps

You’ll Need:

• Spray bottle with water + a few drops of baby shampoo
• Hard card or squeegee
• Microfiber towel
• Clean work surface

Step-by-Step:

1. Clean windows thoroughly – Remove dirt, debris, and oil.
2. Spray glass generously with application solution.
3. Peel film liner carefully – avoid creasing.
4. Apply tint to inside of glass – align edges with care.
5. Use squeegee from center outward to push fluid and air bubbles out.
6. Trim if needed – though most installs require no trimming.
7. Dry and cure – allow 24–48 hours before rolling windows down.

Pro Tip: Install indoors or in the shade to avoid premature drying.

4. Aftercare & Maintenance

• Do not roll down windows for at least 48 hours
• Do not clean film until fully cured (typically 5–7 days)
• Use only ammonia-free cleaners
• Avoid abrasive cloths or scrubbing
