Frequently Asked Questions
How dark can I legally tint my car windows in Nevada?
Nevada law allows up to 35% VLT (Visible Light Transmission) on front side windows, while rear and back side windows can be darker or even fully tinted, depending on the vehicle. Windshield tinting is restricted to the top 6 inches (a non-reflective tint strip). At Best Tint Shop, we stay current on all state tint regulations and will guide you in choosing the perfect, legal option.
Will window tint really help keep my car or home cooler?
Absolutely. Our high-performance films—especially ceramic and infrared rejection films—block up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV rays, keeping interiors significantly cooler. That means a more comfortable ride or living space, and lower energy costs from reduced air conditioning use.
How long does the tinting process take?
For most automotive tint jobs, we’re done in 1 to 2 hours, depending on the number of windows and film type. Residential and commercial installs vary based on size but are usually completed within a half-day to a full day. We always provide time estimates upfront and work efficiently to minimize disruption.
Does your window tint come with a warranty?
Yes! All of our films come with a manufacturer-backed warranty, and we include a lifetime workmanship guarantee. That means you’re covered for bubbling, peeling, fading, or discoloration—giving you long-term peace of mind.
What’s the difference between ceramic, carbon, and dyed film?
Ceramic Film: Top-tier option; offers maximum heat and UV rejection, no signal interference, and superior clarity.
Carbon Film: Great mid-tier choice; durable, fade-resistant, and good heat reduction.
Dyed Film: More affordable but less durable; provides a sleek look and basic UV protection.
We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each, based on your budget, goals, and lifestyle.
How long does window tint last?
The lifespan of your tint depends on the type of film used and how well it’s maintained. High-quality films like ceramic or carbon can last 10 years or more with minimal fading or bubbling. All our premium films are backed by manufacturer warranties for long-term peace of mind.
Will tinting my car affect visibility at night?
Not with the right film. We offer high-clarity, non-reflective tints—especially in ceramic options—that maintain excellent visibility day or night. We’ll help you choose a VLT (Visible Light Transmission) level that balances privacy with safety.
Can window film be removed or replaced?
Yes! Window tint and film can be professionally removed and replaced without damaging the glass. Whether you’re updating your style, replacing damaged film, or complying with legal changes, we can assist with safe removal and reapplication.
What makes ceramic tint different from other types?
Ceramic film is the top-tier tinting option. It uses advanced nano-ceramic technology to block infrared heat, UV rays, and glare—without metal layers that interfere with GPS, radio, or cell signals. It’s ideal for drivers looking for maximum performance and clarity.
Is paint protection film (PPF) worth it for my vehicle?
Absolutely! Especially in Las Vegas where road debris and harsh sunlight are common. PPF provides an invisible barrier that protects your paint from chips, scratches, and stains. It’s particularly valuable on high-impact areas like bumpers, hoods, and side mirrors.
How long does paint protection film last?
High-quality PPF can last between 5 to 10 years, depending on environmental conditions and how well it’s maintained. We use industry-leading films like XPEL Ultimate Plus and LLumar Valor, which offer long-term clarity, self-healing features, and manufacturer-backed warranties.
What’s the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a physical barrier against impact damage like rock chips, while ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your paint to offer chemical resistance, hydrophobic properties, and UV protection. They can be combined for full-surface protection.
Can I wash my car after tinting or coating?
For window tinting, we recommend waiting 3–5 days before washing your vehicle to let the film fully cure. For ceramic coatings, wait 7 days before your first wash. Avoid harsh chemicals and automated car washes with brushes for both services to preserve the finish.
Do you offer warranties for your services?
Yes. We provide both manufacturer warranties for the film and coating products we use, and our own limited workmanship guarantee. That means if your tint bubbles, peels, or discolors within the first year due to installation, we’ll fix it, free of charge.
Can you tint or coat electric vehicles like Tesla, Rivian, and Lucid?
Definitely. We regularly service EVs like Teslas, Rivians, and Lucid vehicles. These cars often have large glass surfaces and unique paint materials, so we use specialized techniques to ensure proper application and protection.
