what % to match factory rear wiindows?

[Guest s13envy]

just wondering what tint would match the back door windows of dodge vehicles? i assume all the dodges are the same. but if not, the vechicles im mostly wondering about are the journey and the '00 and up dodge trucks.

thanks in advance

You should get a light meter. Then you can match anything including other work when a body shop needs just one door glass done.

% from a meter doesn't mean it will match well in color, reflection, or even look like it matches. When I match exact percent, customer complains that the fronts look lighter, then it's an uphill battle that always ends in "Well it still looks lighter"

When you have a buttload of light coming in through the windshield, it's always going to look lighter from the outside. People can't wrap their mind around that.

But their argument is it doesn't match, not whether or not it's the same percentage. That is why I usually stick to something that is close to a 20% vlt, because even though it meters a bit darker, it looks closer.

Custy's in my area are more concerned with how it looks from the outside. I guess there are different concerns in different areas. Each manny has a different color and shade which makes it even tougher. The difference between a Toyota and Ford for instance, isn't even close in color or shade.

Thanks for info guys. Do you guys buy your tint from an online supplier? What's the best place to get the film mentioned in this thread?
