Tint on top of factory tinted glass

Post by ziggyma89 »

Hi I am getting tints and realised that i have the factory tinted glass on the back windows. I want darker tints all around and was wondering what would wot percentage I should go for and what difference it would make tinting over ye already tinted glass.

Any advise or recommendations of what percentage to go for on my candy white scirocco?
