Question Window Tint in DC/MD/VA?

Good morning,


Can anyone recommend a good tint shop in the DC Metro area?


Thanks!

I use skyline tint in springfield. Paul is easy to work with and does it right.

Thanks for the reply. Never had a tint before. Any questions I should ask, also what's a ballpark fee for the service (911 side and rear windows)?

Just make sure to get the best tint (there are a couple of options but Paul can guide you), they have a few different one's. I'm not 100% sure but I think my gt3 was around $250.

I'm going to be tinting my car on Thursday at National Tint in Kensington, MD on Thursday. It was recommended to me. I have a 2010 Porsche Carrera 4. Will let you know when it's done. $200.

I got the windows tinted last Thursday. It looks really good. I went with the 20% tint so it looks pretty dark. I have a convertible so with the window going down slightly every time I open the door it's a little tricky letting it cure. Right now I have some water spots underneath the film which should go away if the rain ever stops and the sun comes out. I will post pictures once it has fully cured. The place I used what National Glass Tinting in Kensington. They work at the Trick Trucks shop but the guy Marc has been doing this for years. Very professional.

Thanks for the responses. The 911 I'm close to getting actually already has tint, so unless there are problems with it I may not need the service after all.


@AmericanPupusa, looking forward to the pics!

Thanks for the recommendations. I've got an appointment scheduled for tomorrow with Skyline and thus far Paul has been great. I'll follow up with shots of the finished work. I'm going with the ceramic tint at the legal limit.

He did my GT3, 458 Spider, Huracan and plenty of other cars in the past. You'll be happy with his work.

I was in this morning, both Paul and his understudy/employee were both great. I actually sat in and watched them do it and they explained what they were doing, it was very educational.

I'll give it a few days to cure, but it looks like a top notch job and the price was less than I had expected.

Again, thanks for the recommendation!
