Window tinting
for Newport Beach

Nano-ceramic film for cars that live in Newport Beach sun. Up to 98% of infrared heat and 99% of UV blocked, plotter cut to your exact glass in our Santa Ana studio twenty minutes up the 55, and backed by ticket protection, so a citation is our problem instead of yours.

Coastal Sun

Newport sun works
on your car all day

Marina lots, Fashion Island parking, a driveway two blocks off the water, coastal light sits on the glass for hours, and leather and Alcantara pay for it first. Heat comes from infrared, not from how dark the film looks, which is why a cheap dark tint still leaves the cabin baking on Coast Highway in August.

Nano-ceramic blocks the infrared itself. The car heats up slower while parked, the AC catches up faster, and on an EV you stop spending battery just to cool the seats down.

  • Up to 98% infrared heat rejection
  • 99% of UV blocked, so leather stops fading
  • No metal, so 5G, GPS and toll tags work normally
  • Never turns purple
Salt & Glare

Living by the water
is hard on a car

Salt air settles on everything parked within a mile of the harbor, and the low bounce of afternoon light off the water is its own kind of glare, the kind sunglasses handle but your windshield does not. A quality ceramic film knocks the glare down without making the glass mirror-dark, and the 99% UV cut is what keeps a tan interior from going chalky by its third summer outside.

The cars we see from Newport are also not the cars we see from anywhere else. Air-cooled 911s that only come out on Sundays, G-Wagons on school runs, a steady line of Teslas, and lease cars that have to go back unmarked. Every one gets a plotter cut pattern for its exact glass, so no blade ever touches a door seal or a defroster line, and film on a lease car peels off clean at turn-in.

  • Glare off the water cut without going darker than you want
  • No hand-cutting on the glass, ever
  • Comes off clean at lease return
  • Same crew, every car, indoors
Legal Shades

Pick your percentage

Tap a shade to see roughly how much light it lets through, and where it is allowed. Front windows run 70%, which is a clear film. Behind the driver there is no limit and no minimum.

Ticket Protection

Get a tint ticket?
We handle it.

Here is how it works. If you get a qualifying tint citation on film we installed, we cover the ticket and re-tint the car to a compliant shade at no charge to you. You do not eat the fine and you do not pay twice for film. We go over the terms with you before your car goes in, so nothing is a surprise later.

Beyond Tint

PPF and Color PPF
for Newport Beach cars

Tint handles the sun. The film below handles everything the road throws at the paint. Both are installed in the same visit if you want the car done once.

01

Paint Protection Film

Coast Highway and the 73 throw sand and rock at your front end every single day. Self-healing PPF over the bumper, hood and mirrors takes the hits so the paint doesn't. Explore PPF

02

Color PPF

A new color and the armor in one layer. Satin or gloss, no paint, fully reversible. For the cars that get photographed outside Fashion Island, this is the move. Explore Color PPF

Getting Here

Twenty minutes
from the water

From Newport Beach it is one road: the 55 North, straight to our door in Santa Ana. Film is unforgiving. A single speck of dust sealed under wet film stays there forever, so every car goes into a controlled indoor bay, on a plotter cut pattern for your exact model, by the same crew every day.

  • Open every day, 9 to 8
  • Plotter cut patterns, no hand cutting on your glass
  • Most cars finished the same day
Where Newport Customers Drive From

All of Newport,
one short drive

Wherever you are on the water, the studio is one straight run up the 55. These are the corners of Newport we see most.

01

Corona del Mar

Garage-kept cars that still spend weekends in open sun on PCH. Ceramic tint plus front-end PPF is the usual order here.

02

Newport Coast & Crystal Cove

Hill light is brutal on dark interiors. Full ceramic with a tinted windshield strip keeps the cabin usable in summer.

03

Balboa Peninsula & Lido

Cars that live outside near the water. UV protection matters as much as the look. Blocking 99% of UV stops the fade.

04

Fashion Island & San Joaquin Hills

Valet rows and open-air lots where the car sits in full sun while you're inside. Ceramic film is the difference between a warm cabin and a hot one at pickup.

05

Newport Heights & Westcliff

Daily drivers running 17th Street and the 55 every day. This is where most of our Tesla and lease-car work from Newport comes from.

FAQ

Newport Beach questions,
straight answers

The studio is in Santa Ana, about twenty minutes up the 55 from most of Newport Beach. Film work needs a dust-controlled indoor bay, and a driveway install by the water is how specks and peeling edges happen. Most of our Newport customers drop the car in the morning and have it back the same day.

70% on the front doors, which is a clear film that still blocks heat and 99% of UV. Behind the driver there is no limit and no minimum, so 20% or 5% is entirely your call. Full detail on our California tint law page.

On film we installed, we cover the ticket and re-tint the car to a compliant shade at no charge. Ask us for the terms before your car goes in so you know exactly what is covered.

Constantly. Plotter cut patterns for Model 3, Y, S and X including the glass roof, and ceramic film with no metal in it, so autopilot cameras, 5G and toll transponders are unaffected. On an EV the heat rejection also means less battery spent on air conditioning.

Yes, in the same studio. Front-end paint protection film is popular with Newport drivers who run Coast Highway every day, and Color PPF changes the color and armors the paint in one layer.

A full car is usually a few hours and most cars go home the same day. A glass roof or windshield makes it most of a day. Book ahead and the bay is ready when you arrive.

Salt does not touch the film itself, but it is exactly why film earns its keep near the harbor. Tint lives on the inside of the glass, sealed away from the air. PPF takes the salt and grime on its own surface instead of your clear coat, and a normal wash takes it right off.

Noticeably. Glare off the water is reflected light hitting low and flat, worst on PCH in the late afternoon. Ceramic film takes the edge off through the side glass at any shade, and a legal windshield strip handles the top of the view without touching the driving zone. Shade rules are on our California tint law page.
