How can you test for your shade/tint?

• A. Roll down window and place a white paper behind it
• B. Check the tint badge in corner
• C. Ask supervisor
• D. Compare shade to chart

Answer: (A)

The main idea is to perform a direct, visual check of how dark the tint actually is. Roll the window down and place a white sheet of paper behind the glass. The white background gives a neutral reference, so you can clearly see how much light gets through the tint and whether you can still distinguish details through the glass when you look from the outside. This method gives you an immediate, practical sense of whether the shade meets the required limits because you’re observing the actual translucency of the window. Relying on a tint badge only shows what the label claims, not how dark the tint really is; asking a supervisor isn’t the measurement itself, and using a chart can be helpful but isn’t as direct as the live visual test with a white reference.
