Car tinting is legal in New Zealand. Restrictions apply to a variety of classes of vehicles. As a rule, passenger vehicles, including station wagons, are restricted to a 35% tint.

Commercial vans and some 4-wheel drives can have darker film applied behind the front doors. Reflective mirror tints are not permitted in any case.

The restrictions are generally reasonable and breaking the rules can have implications for both the vehicle’s driver and the installer of the illegal film. Potentially, in case of an accident, insurance cover may be denied.

The difference between a car tinted by a Master Tinter and some other installers lies in the integrity and skill of the installer, the quality of the films used and the attitude of the business you’re dealing with. Every member of Master Tinters listed will ensure the legality of a tinting job.

The potential of damaging a car’s interior or exterior while tinting is there; new car dealers are aware of this and trust Master Tinters to take great care with their valuable vehicles.

The best thing about Master Tinters is the peace of mind offered by Lifetime warranty films and the customer protection offered.
