Our Process

What to Expect

From scheduling to driving away with your new tint, here is the step-by-step process for automotive window tinting at Classic Shades.

1

Schedule Your Appointment

Book online at classicshades.as.me or call us. Select your vehicle type and preferred film tier. Same-day appointments are available based on schedule availability.

2

Vehicle Preparation

Bring your vehicle to our shop at 1624 N Burkhardt Rd, Evansville. We inspect your windows and remove any existing tint if needed. Clean your interior window surfaces before arrival for best results.

3

Precision Film Cutting

Each piece of film is custom-cut to match your vehicle's exact window dimensions using computer-aided patterns. This ensures a precise fit with clean edges and no gaps.

4

Professional Installation

Our experienced installers apply the film using a wet application method that allows precise positioning. Each window is squeegeed to remove air and water for a smooth, bubble-free finish.

5

Quality Inspection

Every window is inspected for proper adhesion, clean edges, and optical clarity. We verify that your tint meets Indiana's legal requirements, including the 30% VLT minimum on front side windows.

6

Curing Period

Your tint is ready to drive immediately, but avoid rolling down windows for 3 to 5 days to allow the adhesive to fully cure. Small water bubbles may appear during the first 2 to 4 weeks and will dissipate on their own.

FAQ

Window Tinting Questions

Answers to the most common questions about automotive window tinting at Classic Shades in Evansville, Indiana.

At Classic Shades in Evansville, Indiana, automotive window tinting starts at $300 for a four-door sedan or coupe, $220 for standard cab trucks, $280 for crew cab trucks, $320 for small SUVs, and $350 for large SUVs and minivans. Individual door tinting starts at $60, and windshield-only ceramic tinting is $250. These prices include professional installation with Autobahn films and a lifetime warranty.
Indiana law requires that front side windows allow at least 30% visible light transmission (VLT). Rear side windows and the rear windshield can be any darkness. Windshield tinting is allowed on the top 5 inches or above the AS-1 line. At Classic Shades, we default to 30% (Indiana legal) for front windows and help you choose the right shade for rear windows. We ensure every installation meets Indiana state law.
For maximum heat rejection in Indiana summers, we recommend the Autobahn i3 Ceramic film, which blocks 93% of infrared radiation and rejects 71% of total solar energy. This is the most advanced nano-ceramic film available and keeps your car significantly cooler. For a mid-range option, the Autobahn Black Ceramic blocks 60% of infrared at a lower price point. Both are excellent choices for Indiana heat.
At Classic Shades in Evansville, ceramic coating packages range from $650 to $1,450. Our 3-year ceramic coating starts at $650, the 5-year coating is $1,000, and our premium 8-year coating is $1,450. All packages include a one-step paint correction and full exterior application including wheels. We also offer a Gold Package at $300 for enhanced cleaning and preparation.
Dyed window tint (like our Autobahn Black Line) uses color-stable dyed film that blocks 99% of UV rays and provides a sleek look, but does not reject infrared heat. Ceramic window tint (like our Autobahn Black Ceramic and i3 Ceramic) uses nano-ceramic particles to block both UV rays and infrared heat — up to 93% IR rejection with our premium i3 film. Ceramic tint costs more but provides significantly better heat rejection, keeping your vehicle cooler.
At Classic Shades, front two doors take approximately 1 hour, and a full vehicle typically takes 2 to 5 hours depending on the vehicle size and type. Standard cab trucks take about 2 hours, while larger SUVs and minivans may take up to 5 hours. We provide same-day service by appointment so your vehicle is ready the same day you drop it off.
