How to Lighten the Color of Car Film?
2 Answers
Choose a car film with a lighter color. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Light transmittance is the most important performance related to driving safety in car films. It is recommended that users avoid selecting films with too low light transmittance. For window films, especially those on the front side windows, the base material of the front windshield film should be clear enough. Even if the film is relatively dark, the view outside should remain clear and not appear dim or distorted. 2. It is advisable to choose a film with a light transmittance of over 85%. In this case, there is no need to cut holes in the side window films, and visibility is not affected. During nighttime driving, it can also reduce the strong glare reflected from the headlights of vehicles behind in the rearview mirror, making the eyes more comfortable. Additionally, it ensures good visibility during rainy nights, reversing, or making U-turns.
The tint on my previous car was too dark, making it almost pitch black when driving at night, which nearly caused an accident. I wanted to lighten the tint, but the film's color is fixed and can't be changed; the only solution was to remove the old film and replace it with a lighter one. When I did it myself, I found that using a heat gun to slowly warm the edges and then gently peeling off the old film prevented damage to the glass. After cleaning thoroughly, I applied a new light-colored film with over 70% light transmittance, which not only improved visibility at night but also blocked UV rays. The lighter film also lowered the interior temperature by a few degrees, saving some AC power in summer. Be careful not to buy cheap film, as it tends to discolor or bubble. After installation, driving around felt much brighter, and even the police said it met safety standards.
