Toyota Hilux
window tint & PPF.
A Toyota Hilux is a ute in the eyes of the tint law, which is good news for the back half. Ceramic tint and paint protection film at eight Zivent branches.
How dark can it go?
A ute is a light goods vehicle (class NA). The front side windows must keep 35% overall light, glass and film together. Behind the driver there is no minimum, so the rear doors and back window can be any shade. A vehicle with film on a rear window needs an external mirror on both sides.
Window tint
Three nano-ceramic tiers with a lifetime warranty. The number is the heat grade, not the darkness: each tier comes in shades from about 5% to 50%.
Paint protection film
A ute takes its damage in different places from a car: gravel rash along the lower panels, loading wear on the tray and tailgate, and scrapes down both sides on a narrow track.

How dark can I tint a Toyota Hilux?
A ute is a light goods vehicle (class NA). The front side windows must keep 35% overall light, glass and film together. Behind the driver there is no minimum, so the rear doors and back window can be any shade. A vehicle with film on a rear window needs an external mirror on both sides.
Which film suits a Toyota Hilux?
All three ZV tiers fit. ZV70 rejects 78.5% of infrared, ZV80 87.2% and ZV90 96.7%. The tier is the heat grade; the shade is chosen separately, front and rear.
How long does tinting a Toyota Hilux take?
A full vehicle is two to three hours. Leave the windows up for two to three days afterwards while the film cures.
What does PPF on a Toyota Hilux cost?
Utes and 4x4s are quoted per vehicle, because the panels and the wear are different from a car: gravel rash on the lower panels, and loading wear on the tray and tailgate.
What is the warranty?
Lifetime on ZV window tint and ten years on TrackDay PPF.
