Colorado Springs Tint Shop Reminds Drivers of State Window Tint Limits Ahead of Year-End Vehicle Purchases

Rocky Mountain Window Tint is encouraging Colorado drivers buying vehicles at year end to know the state's light-transmittance limits before adding window film.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO, October 16, 2026 -- As Colorado drivers head into the year-end vehicle buying season, Rocky Mountain Window Tint is reminding new and used car owners that Colorado law sets specific limits on how dark vehicle windows can be.

Rocky Mountain Window Tint, which has provided window tint colorado springs drivers since 1999, said many customers arrive with tint already installed by a previous owner and are unsure whether it meets state requirements.

Under Colorado Revised Statutes section 42-4-227, windows other than the windshield on a vehicle registered in Colorado may not be treated so that they allow less than 27 percent light transmittance.

The same statute requires the windshield to allow at least 70 percent light transmittance, with tinted material allowed only along the top four inches.

Violating the statute is a class B traffic infraction for the driver, and installing film that does not meet the light-transmittance requirements is a class A traffic infraction.

"We see a lot of cars that came off the dealer lot with tint someone else put on, and the new owner has no idea how dark it is," said Bob of Rocky Mountain Window Tint. "If you're not sure what's on the car now, have it checked before you add anything darker."

The company said drivers comparing colorado springs window tint options should ask how the installer measures the finished light transmittance and whether the film carries a warranty.

Vehicle owners protecting a new purchase often pair window film with paint protection. Rocky Mountain Window Tint installs clear bra and ppf colorado springs drivers use to guard against rock chips, road debris and weather on Colorado highways.

For drivers and businesses who want to change a vehicle's look or add branding, the company also designs, prints and installs vinyl graphics and car wrap colorado springs projects in its own shop.

"Tint is one of the first things people want on a new car in Colorado because of the sun and the heat," Bob said. "It's worth taking a minute to get it right the first time so it doesn't turn into a ticket later."

Rocky Mountain Window Tint operates two Colorado Springs locations and a Littleton location serving the Denver area. The company offers complimentary estimates and can be reached at (719) 227-8981.

Rocky Mountain Window Tint (RM Windowtint) was founded in Colorado Springs in 1999. The company provides automotive, residential and commercial window tint, clear bra paint protection film, car wraps and graphics from locations on Motor City Drive and East Woodmen Road in Colorado Springs and on South Broadway in Littleton.
