How much does window tint cost for your car?
Pick your vehicle and film type. Ceramic film costs more than carbon because it rejects more heat without going darker, which is also why it is the film most studios recommend.
| Option | Estimated price | Deposit |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon (full) | $250 – $400 | $50 |
| Ceramic (full) | $450 – $700 | $90 |
| Ceramic + windshield | $750 – $1,200 | $150 |
- Reservation deposit: $90 (applied to the job)

Estimates use 2026 national installer ranges. Studios on Coateau set their own prices and confirm the final number before you reserve.
Questions people ask
Carbon or ceramic film?
Ceramic rejects roughly twice the infrared heat at the same shade and never fades. Carbon is a solid budget choice if heat is not your main concern.
Can I tint the windshield?
Most states allow a clear or very light ceramic film on the windshield and a darker strip above the AS-1 line. Check your state in our tint law lookup.
How long does the install take?
Two to four hours for a sedan. Leave the windows up for three to five days while the film cures.
What shade should I choose?
35% is the most common pick and is legal on front windows in many states. Use the tint percentage simulator to compare shades and the tint law lookup for your legal minimum.
