"I brought my Tesla Model X Plaid here to get full front PPF and tinting. Jesus and his team did a fabulous job despite the car being 2 years old and never had PPF. He made sure the car was polished and deteriorated before applying the film. They definitely put hard work and effort into turning the car into even more beauty! Also the pricing is phenomenal! I got quoted from other shops but definitely got the best deal here at Paint Advancement! I highly recommend this shop!"

California's strict car window tinting laws require front side windows to have at least 70% VLT (Visible Light Transmission), keeping them relatively clear. Back side and rear windows can have any darkness level. Windshield tint is limited to the top 4 inches. California prohibits red, amber, and blue tinting, and reflectivity cannot exceed standard window levels. Dual side mirrors are required with tinted back windows. Professional window tinting services ensure compliance while providing heat rejection for California's sunny climate.
