One of my cars tinted 50% vlt all round

Which My dad decided because he paid for it

I feel like applying 2nd layer dark tint around 10% vlt

But will it affect my 1st layer which is Llumar 6mil Security tint ?

It will usually void the warranty. Not recommended.

10% also very dark, confirm JPJ or police will stop u in roadblock. Without warranty, ggwp burn ur money for nothing.

yes it will, depends how old is the tint, like mine, i tint my car 7 years ago with raytech and few months ago i added another tint 80% darker, the tint shop told me might affect ur old tint as it is old and the uv tint will degrade, so it will have breaking film tint within the security film

If you plan to apply 2nd layer on windscreen then NO, it will blur the view and causing danger risking others life.

I would say that it depends on whats your purpose of applying the second tint.

either

1) heat reduction
2) increase the 'darkness'

I've done it with both purpose. My findings as below.

1) Heat reduction increases - proven
2) darkness level increases - proven

However the following are the drawbacks

1) It voids the warranty of the 1st layer
2) It degrades the quality of the 1st tint - bubbles up faster
3) Usually installer will not warranty 2nd layer
4) Once the 1st layer degrades, the 2nd layer will degrade too

Ultimately, its your call.

Coz its an ultimate matter of one word = COSTS

1) If the layers degrade, u have to change both
2) Potential issue with the authorities coz when its dark...its obvious that you have over tinted

But I would suggest NOT to double tint the main windscreen. It effects your vision greatly.

Hope this helps.

Ni mesti first time buy car even car bought by parents

Add so dark tint for what? You'll be endangering everyone during night time.

You should prioritise UV reduction than light reduction

If light too bright, wear sunglasses

Well, u should, as once caught, if you're forced to remove it, burn your money and have to spend all over again.
