What's The Darkest Legal Window Tint in QLD?

At Just Tinting, we often get asked what the darkest legal window tint is you can tint your car with, without breaking the law.

The reason we have strict window tinting laws here in Queensland is to keep our roads safe. If the tint is too dark, it can significantly reduce the driver’s visibility and put you, your passengers, and other drivers in great danger. We help you make sure that the window film applied to your vehicle stays within the legal limits.

In Queensland, we have the following rules in place that you should familiarise yourself with before having any tinting film applied to your car. The darkness – or rather transparency of your window film – is measured in VLT (visible light transmission). The lower the VLT percentage, the darker the film.

It’s important to know that each of your car’s windows has different VLT requirements.
