Why should I apply a 3M Clear Bra also known as Paint Protection Film to my Car, Truck or SUV?

Clear bra or Clear mask for your vehicle vs. traditional vinyl bras


In the past people used leather or vinyl bras to protect the front end of their vehicles. These bulky bras were not very aesthetically appealing and did more damage than good. They could trap rocks and gravel underneath them which left pits and scratches. So the clear bra was created  There are several different clear bra materials on the market today. We have tried just about every one and came to the conclusion 3M Scotchgard paint protection offers the best warranty and highest quality.


We use 24", 30" and 60" rolls of film which allows us to digitally cut a clear bra for any type of vehicle. What this means to you is there will be no cutting done on your vehicle therefore no accidental cuts to your paint. Applying a paint protection film to the front of your vehicle will protect it from from dings, scratches and even bug guts which can cause your paint to break down causing damage. A clear bra is an investment that cannot be beat. Call All American Window Tinting, Inc., for a quality job at a reasonable price for your clear bra installation!  303-936-1362 or 303-934- TINT (8468) We are located at 2155 W.

Shatter Resistant Safety and Security window film

All American Window Tinting, Inc. in Denver is the shatter resistant security film and safety film expert. Safety and Security window films come in a variety of thicknesses and tints and are designed to help make glass shatter-resistant by holding the glass together when broken. The films have an exceptionally strong, energy-absorbing mounting adhesive, and are composed of polyester film layers that are extremely high in tensile and break strength. The tough, shatter-resistant qualities of the film can help hold the window glass together even if a an object penetrates the glass.


Shatter resistant window films are designed for many different applications.

1. Help protect your family and friends. When children or pets are playing indoors or outdoors accidents can happen around windows that can be very dangerous. When security film or safety film is applied to your home windows it can help reduce the chances of your loved ones being injured by shattered glass because in most cases the security film or safety film holds the glass in place upon impact.
2. Severe weather can also cause severe injuries by broken glass from windows. Our selection of security film or safety film will give you added protection during severe weather such as high winds, severe hail storms, tornadoes, even terrorist threats and much more. Security film or safety film on windows helps prevent flying glass fragments from harming you, your loved ones, your employees or your property by helping holding the glass together vs. windows that have no security or safety film on them.
3. Bring annealed glass to code. This is a much less expensive option than replacing your annealed units with tempered glass.
4. Help prevent smash and grab burglaries. In typical cases upon impact security film helps hold the shattered glass in place, making it harder for the thieves to have access to your merchandise.

Safety film or security films can be used wherever there is a potential for injury from broken glass shards or you need extra protection. Call All American Window Tinting, Inc. in Denver today for your free in house or office estimate to have a sense of security!

Why did your window tint turn purple?

In the most basic terms, if your tint has turned purple then you purchased a low quality window film.
There are many window film products on the market and the old saying, "you get what you pay for" goes without saying. 

Purple window film is the result of a breakdown in the product.  The three primary dye colors...blue, red and yellow together compose the films dark color.  In a cheaper (say 3 year warranty film) the dyes are not color stable and the yellow is the first to deteriate, leaving behind the red and blue dye to create a purplish colored film.

All American Window Tinting chooses to sell and install only lifetime warranty films that are protected against this.  Our warranty protects against peeling, bubbling and turning purple.

Hand Cut TINT vs. Computer Cut

At All American Window Tinting, we employ Denver's finest experienced tinters that prefer hand cutting the tint.   We pay a little more for labor that has experience in hand cut tint, but we find it worth the expense.  Hand cut tint, hands down is custom and is a better fit.  Every window is slightly different, computer cut leaves no room for error.  If the tint is "shrunk" or too small for a window (particularly vent windows and 1/4 windows), there is no way to accommodate for that without then re-cutting the film and by hand.  Our precision tinter, Isidro has been tinting high end vehicles for over 10 years.  Richard, the owner of All American Window Tinting, has over 20 years of experience tinting automotive, residential and commercial.  A common misconception or assumption is that window etching is done on all hand cut tinting... this is not true.  An experienced window tinter knows to use a new sharp blade and how to avoid cutting anything but the tint itself.

We aren't opposed to the technology of "precision" cutting when it comes to 3M clear bra.  This is when we avoid use of knife to car.  Paint is much less forgiving and we avoid the use of knives when working closely with your paint job.  Our 3M digital design program specifically cuts our 3M clear bra protection film to allow for all the curves and openings your specific model may require.

Our experienced window tinters and clear bra technicians combine years of experience with computer technology to create the most custom and accurate application for your car.

Tint Laws in Colorado...

Colorado Law states that at least 27% of light must be transmitted through all the windows.   Metallic or Mirrored tint is illegal.  Basically, the concern is that Law Enforcement must be able to see in the vehicle, should you be pulled over.  Aside from the legality of mirrored film, it often interferes with electronic devices such as cellular phones etc.

Tinting within the legal limits will provide shade, UV protection and heat rejection.  The common misbelief is that the darker the film, the cooler the interior will be.  This isn't entirely true.  Many films can be well within the legal limits and provide an extremely high heat rejection.

3M™ Crystalline Automotive window films use new advanced technology which gives these window films the ability to reflect up to 97% of the sun's infrared radiation while still allowing high visible light transmission. These unique films combine low reflectivity with lightly tinted options so they maintain your vehicles original appearance and greatly enhance car window views.

Stay Cool and enjoy complete comfort. 3M™ Crystalline Automotive Window Films reject up to 50% of solar heat. The lightest shade of 3M™ Crystalline window film rejects more heat than many of the darkest films available.

Huper Optik dual layer Ceramic films are 100% metal-free, 100% dye-free which means they will not demetallize or fade. This is world's first patented nano-ceramic technology Employing patented nano-deposition technology, the manufacturing process involves multi layers of ceramic thin films that are coated to form a high performance heat, glare and ultra-violet light barrier. Unlike dyed or metallized films Huper Optik Ceramic films will not interfere with radio, satellite or cell phone signals, will never discolor and will not compromise visibilty. These nano-Ceramic window films are capable of heat rejection levels that only a darker conventional dyed or metallic film can match. These window films have low visible light reflectivity and are a neutral color that will enhance the overall aesthetics.
