Best Way To Black Out Van Windows
« on: June 15, 2010, 09:18:15 PM »
What is the best way to black out van windows.

Currently has blinds and dont want to paint the outside of the window.
Dont want to waste cash on any kind of tint, unless I can get it really cheap like $5 per window.

Try Liquidation World.
They have an "automotive section" that has tint on a roll for under $10.
Should be enough to cover your back windows in da shaggin wagon
Lockers

Whats the percentage number?
The lower the percentage the higher the tint?

Sort of... the % is the amount of light it will let in.

If I double layer it, no one can see through it then and it looks cool.

Protect my tools

Insta-Cling® Limo Dark Tint - $15 - (26" x 78") looks like this is the cheapest at 20% transmission.
