Pyramids Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I tinted the rollups on one a few days ago with suntek carbon. Customer called and says the front windows look green. She brought it in and they do have a slight variation in color from the back that I haven't seen before. I do alot of toyota's with carbon and this is new to me. Any thoughts?

coast2coasttinting Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I alway thought the carbon had a green tone to it. While Toyota factory tint leans more to the brown side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shwusyrtnts Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 Your customer is correct in my opinion and a few customers of mine. It's always seemed green to me. You have just been lucky so far with only one complaint. I think Toyota glass looks brownish purple. I don't have a perfect match film anyone else?

coast2coasttinting Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 3m fx premium matches Toyota and dodge factory tint very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyramids Posted May 6, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 I just pulled the film to see, and sure enough the glass has an odd color to it as well. I have a 2014 camry here and the glass color is is very different between the 2 of them. This is a new body style, they just hit the dealerships, so we shall see.

mates Posted May 11, 2014 Report Share Posted May 11, 2014 most new toyota front 2 windows are UV glass and have a slight bronze tinge to them, impossible to match privacy glass colour, i use johnson marathon 30 or ultragard hp30 (australia) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NvrLate Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 I've been bitching about this for years, the rears have that greyish look while the fronts when clear are greenish. I have a post on here titled "what tint will match.." Llumar ATC20 matches much closer than Suntek Carbon but still will have a greenish look because of the glass color.

D3Tint Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 I actually work at a Toyota dealership and tint windows on the side for them. I use Solargard Galixie film and it has been matching very well with the factory tint on rear windows of Toyota trucks and SUVs. I do notice the brownish hue on the prius especially as well. Not a bad look though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
