Tinted films for car windows: be unique!
One-of-a-kind die-cut tinted films!
Colored die-cut tinted films are the perfect solution for adding a touch oforiginality and personalization to your vehicle. Available in a range of vibrant shades including chrome, platinum, green, blue, red, orange and yellow, these films offer a unique aesthetic finish while retaining the classic advantages of tinted films.
What is cut-to-color tinted film?
Color-cut tinted film is an adhesive material designed for application to vehicle windows. Unlike pre-cut kits, these films are sold by the linear meter and cut to size from a roll. This means you can precisely adjust the quantity needed for each project.
This flexibility is a considerable advantage, as it avoids wastage and allows perfect adaptation to all window configurations, whether for a sports car, a sedan or a utility vehicle.
Why choose colored cut-to-size film?
There are several advantages to opting for cut-to-color tinted film:
- Unique styling: with colors such as chrome, platinum, green, blue, red, orange or yellow, you can give your vehicle a sporty, elegant or original look;
- Protection against heat and glare: These films limit the penetration of the sun's rays and reduce interior heat, which is particularly appreciated in summer during heatwaves;
- Privacy: Passengers benefit from a space protected from outside view, which is an advantage for those carrying equipment or valuables;
- Ease of application: Thanks to their quality and technology, they are easy to install for both professionals and DIY enthusiasts. Cutting by the linear meter also reduces waste and overstocking;
- Personalization and exclusivity: Colored tinted films help you stand out on the road, giving your vehicle an original, unique look.

How to choose your coloured die-cut film?
Before buying a colored cut-to-size film, there are several criteria to consider:
- The color: Each hue brings a distinct effect. Chrome and platinum give a futuristic look, while red, blue, green, orange and yellow offer bolder personalization;
- Tint intensity: The darker the film, the greater the privacy and protection against heat. Although films retain their transparency, some colors are darker than others. So be careful to choose a film that matches the privacy and style you want;
- Regulations: It is imperative to comply with the law, which prohibits the application of tinted colored films to the front windows of vehicles. These films do not meet the 70% light transmission requirement;
- Thevehicle's use: A vehicle intended for professional use may require a more sober tint, while a leisure vehicle can afford brighter colors. Once again, it's up to you!
Installation and maintenance
This method requires more precision and time, especially if you have no previous experience. However, don't let yourself be impressed: thousands of customers share their achievements with us every year! All you need to do is be well prepared.
Here are the main steps to follow:
- Measuring and cutting: Measure the dimensions of your windows and cut the tinted film to size accordingly;
- Prepare the surface: Thoroughly clean the glass to remove any dust or dirt;
- Apply the film: Apply the tinted film carefully following the installation instructions supplied with the tinted film;
- Allow to dry: The film will take a few days to fully adhere.
Once applied, simple cleaning with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive product will preserve its shine and durability. We recommend avoiding alcohol- or ammonia-based products, which could alter the film's color.
Why opt for color-cut tinted film rather than conventional film?
Classic tinted films, often black or grey, are popular for their discretion and sun protection effectiveness. However, cut-to-color tinted films offer a bolder, more creative alternative. They make it possible to fully personalize a vehicle while benefiting from the same properties as standard films: glare reduction, improved thermal comfort and privacy preservation.
Tinted films with colored cut-outs let you personalize your vehicle with style, while protecting it from heat and glare.
Available in chrome, platinum, green, blue, red, orange and yellow, these films are an excellent alternative for asserting your identity while complying with current regulations. Whether you're looking for a sporty, modern or original look, these films are an ideal option for giving your car a new allure.
Choose the shade that best suits your needs, and make sure you follow the installation instructions for optimal, long-lasting results.
