How would you go about finding the percent of light transferred through a window? Also if someone knows, I believe that the glass on the sides of my
85' k5 are stock, so if you know the percentage I would like to know. I want to match my rear window to the side windows on the truck. Thanks for the help if ya give it!any tint shop should have a meter that shows how much light transfer your window has.in my state we have to have 20% in the front 2 windows but the rear and back windshield can be any rate.
Here in NH it's any rate behind you but 0 tolerance infront. I can see that. I remember seeing a home time where they had auto tinting windows. That would be nice, tint them to 100% when you park and 0% while you drive etc. Now mass on the other hand wont allow you to tint at all, it's stock or nothing. Personally I think that's ridiculous, if you can buy an econoline without ANY windows behind you, why shouldn't you have the option of not seeing out your windows? That's why I tinted the windows in the cab on my S10 to 2%.
Just about every glass shop that does tinting has a specialized photometer. Heck, many police cars carry them around, especially the state troopers. Might even try Pep Boys or some of the other Auto places that have a "shop" in them.
For a state that does not allow tinting, MASS has alot of glass companies that advertise that they tint auto windows.
window tint dude knew by looking what tint i had on my truck, but he did say it was faded because it was dyed tint and not metalized tint... dyed tint turns purple
