Car Window Tinting Kits

At this stage I don't offer tinting kits for cars, utes, wagons etc as the installation process is more complex than tinting flat glass windows in homes or on buses/motor-homes/caravans (fitting instructions here ).

However if you are determined to attempt tinting your vehicle windows, then either email me with the quantity of film you require and I will quote supply of film to you, or you can simply buy the film from the online shop .

I don't offer any instructions apart from what is already on this website for flat glass.

Automotive film is available in 2 roll widths;

  • 20 inch (508mm) - generally this is used for most side windows of cars & wagons. Simply use a tape measure and measure from the lower corner of front side window to the lower corner of rear side window, then multiply by 2 for sufficient film for both sides of car. The rear door 1/4 light window is usually cut from the front door off-cut.

  • 60 inch (1524mm) - generally used for rear screens, and other windows that don't cut out of the smaller roll. Measure window across the bottom from corner to corner; on hatchbacks measure across the widest point (usually the centre). This measurement will be the length cut from the 60" roll width, as the film is best fitted 'roll length' across the rear screen (especially if you need to heat shrink any areas). It will also usually supply enough film for a strip at the top of the front windscreen (if allowed).

All vehicle tinting films must comply with various state vehicle licensing regulations. 
 
Generally; films must have at least 35% Visible Light Transmission with no greater than 10% Reflectivity for side and rear windows. No film is permitted on the front windscreen, with some exceptions for a strip across the top.
 
There are slight differences in legislation between the various states and territories of Australia, so please check with your local licensing authority for more details before ordering film - no refunds will be given for incorrect orders. Nor will any responsibility be taken by Johnno's Aussietint for any breaches of vehicle licensing regulations; the responsibility for compliance is yours.
