Legal Window Tint Limits
Kustom Tints services both Albury, New South Wales and Wodonga, Victoria. These neighbouring cities are in different states, so it pays to check the official vehicle rules before choosing a shade.
VLT means visible light transmission. The minimum percentages apply to light passing through the finished glass and any added film together—not just the film advertised on a roll.
