Been learning on express window films standard Charcoal black , It seems to have a blueish hue looking out and then when the sun hits it coming through the windshield it looks brown
Anyone know another film from howard that will give me a better look more of a black , yet also having good clarity

I use express standard film. And I'm very happy with it. Howard and his crew are the best.

He has like 10 different manufactures but I like the True Black, it kinda shrinks and goes on like Global QDP although I know for a fact it is not Global. Their "Classic" line is so much like Global (from what I have heard) it may as well BE Global. Goes on like Johnson and Llumar both.

So how is the true black color and how is it different in color from the classic charcoal. more bluish, greenish, gray or what?? how well does it match factory privacy glass?

These guys are on top of the bus. and enjoy what they do. Sent me a worthy sample roll "more than just a back glass worth". As long as they keep all this up I'm with them. Thanks to Howard and all of you guys on here that recommended him.

NR TRUE BLACK very similar to NR TRUE SMOKE, kinda hazy, hard to make film settle down (fingers keep popping up) very rubbery. Great color, nice thick film. time will tell how long this film will last.

I've just started using the new True black series film and i love it, the color matches so much better than the smoke films. I think i will be using true black for many years to come
For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face:
now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.
