Why Tint

More than just a darker look

Good tint keeps you comfortable year-round, from sunny Willamette Valley summers to low winter sun on I-5.

Cuts heat

Ceramic film blocks a big share of the sun's heat, so the cabin stays cooler and the AC works less.

Blocks UV

Quality film blocks up to 99% of UV rays, protecting your skin and keeping dashboards and seats from fading.

Adds privacy

Keeps prying eyes off your belongings, and makes it harder to see into a parked car.

Reduces glare

Easier on the eyes when driving into sunrise, sunset, or bright headlights.

Pick a Shade

See how dark each shade looks

Tint is measured in VLT, the percent of light that gets through. Lower numbers are darker. Tap a shade to preview it and check whether it's legal in Oregon.

35% VLT

35% is the darkest legal shade for front side windows in Oregon.

Preview is an illustration, not an actual KeptCar job. Shades look different on each vehicle and in different light. This is a general guide, not legal advice. Medical exemptions can allow darker tint.

Oregon Tint Law

Stay legal, skip the ticket

Oregon's tint rules (ORS 815.221) are simple once you know them. We install to spec and give you the certificate the law requires, so you're covered if you're ever pulled over.

35% Darkest legal shade for front side windows, and for all windows on passenger cars
Any shade Allowed on rear side and back windows of trucks, SUVs, and vans with side mirrors
Top 6" Only the top 6 inches of the windshield can be tinted

Film can't be more than 13% reflective (no mirror tint). Drivers with a qualifying medical condition can get darker tint with a signed note from a physician or optometrist kept in the vehicle.

FAQ

Common questions

How dark can window tint be in Oregon?

On passenger cars, the side and rear windows must let at least 35% of light through with the film applied, and film can't be more than 13% reflective. On trucks, SUVs, and vans, the windows behind the driver can go darker as long as the vehicle has side mirrors. On the windshield, only the top 6 inches can be tinted.

Ceramic or carbon: what's the difference?

Both look great and block UV. Ceramic film rejects much more heat and won't interfere with phone, GPS, or radio signals, so it's the better choice for keeping the car cool. Carbon film is a solid, lower-cost option focused on looks, privacy, and glare.

How much does window tint cost?

It depends on the vehicle, how many windows, and which film you choose. Send us your year, make, and model (or the number and size of windows for RVs, homes, and offices) and we'll quote it.

How soon can I roll my windows down?

Wait 3 to 5 days so the film can fully bond. Small water bubbles or a hazy look in the first days is normal curing and clears up on its own, a little slower in cold or wet weather.

Can you remove my old tint?

Yes. We remove old, bubbling, or faded tint and clean off the adhesive before installing new film. Let us know when you request a quote.

Can you tint a Tesla glass roof?

Yes. We install a heat-rejecting film on Tesla glass roofs that cuts heat and glare while keeping the open, bright feel of the roof.

Do you tint RVs, homes, and offices?

Yes. Send us the number and rough size of the windows, or a few photos, and we'll quote it.

Is there a warranty?

Warranty coverage depends on the film you choose. We'll go over it with your quote.
