Layering two different brands of tint

[jh812]

Unless it's on a roll down I wouldn't be to concerned about it. You're correct though film doesn't stick to film like it does to glass.

The ghosting on the back... was that visible to the installer as soon as it happened?? Or does it show up after the film dries?  

 

It will be visible as soon as they are shrinking it.

My question is....  Does layering film cause the layer closest to the sun (first layer installed) to go bad quicker than it should??  

 

Was told by a rep once that it will change the life expectancy of the film.  

 

Also you now have adhesive on film instead of adhesive on glass,,, couldn't this also be a problem??   

::cough cough:: bullshiot!

 

It'll be fine. You just didn't need a 10 million investment in a laminating machine to get two layers.

Just an update to what I did to replace the Huper:

 

Windshield: Spectra Photosync 55
Front windows: Spectra Photosync 35
Rear Windows: Spectra Photosync 35 w/ FormulaOne Classic 05 layer
Rear Windshield: Spectra Photosync 35 with FormulaOne Pinnacle 15 layer

Some shots in the sun. The pic makes the windshield look much more blue than it really is

Side-by-side comparisons of what I had before

 

Pinnacle 35 in the front, 05 in the back:

 

 

Pinnacle 35 in front, Huper Ceramic 05 in the rear:

 

 

 

Front windows: Spectra Photosync 35, Rear Windows: Spectra Photosync 35 w/ FormulaOne Classic 05 layer

Yeah end result looks way nicer, it's hard to find a good 5% that's matte don't think any ceramic 5% has a matte look carbons would be the way but not have as good performance. To get a shiny look I did combination of 50% metalized and 35% ceramic on doors and 70% 2mil carbon I think it was on sunroof glass and winshield
