Window Tinting
Our 3M window tinting solutions provide heat rejection up to 66%, UV protection, and glare reduction while maintaining optical clarity. The films enhance vehicle aesthetics and interior comfort through advanced nano-ceramic technology. Professional installation ensures factory-quality finishes with micro-edge detailing and heat-formed fitment for all vehicle types.
Paint Protection Film
Stek and 3M paint protection films create durable barriers against rock chips, scratches, and environmental damage. Self-healing technology repairs minor imperfections while maintaining factory finish appearance. Custom installations cover entire vehicles or specific high-impact areas with 10-year warranties against yellowing and cracking.
Ceramic Coating
Gtechniq ceramic coatings chemically bond to paint surfaces, adding hardness and hydrophobic properties. Our multi-layer systems provide 5-9 years of protection against chemical stains and swirl marks. Wheel armor and interior treatments complete comprehensive vehicle protection with enhanced gloss and maintenance benefits.
New Car Prep
Our comprehensive new car prep includes decontamination, paint correction, and surface preparation for optimal protection film adhesion. The process removes manufacturing residues and corrects paint defects through multi-stage polishing. Engine bay and interior cleaning complete the preparation for ceramic coatings or PPF application.
Vehicle Wraps
We offer premium paint protection film wraps in gloss, matte, and specialty finishes that transform vehicle appearance while providing protection. Our installations feature seamless edge wrapping and strategic seam placement for paint-like results. Custom color options include metallic, carbon fiber, and ultra-matte finishes for complete vehicle transformations.

WOW - Custom Tint did a fantastic job on my Porsche Panamera (again!). An object was thrown and scratched the PPF on the hood. The PPF on the hood was replaced and a ceramic coating was properly applied. You can definitely see the quality of work from Custom Tint. All of the window tint that was installed from another vendor 3 years ago was completely removed and brand new 3M legal tint was applied to all windows. It looks and feels fantastic inside and out! I continue to praise and highly recommend Custom Tint to everyone I know. Do yourself a favor and have them Tint all of your windows, PPF

Stop scrolling, call the number or send an email, and schedule an appointment with Custom Tint. Kelly and Aaron run a business so infused with empathy, professionalism, and attention to detail that nearly all other businesses should aspire to the way they operate. For what they lack in volume they compensate tenfold in quality. They recently did a full body paint protection and tint job on my car and have done work on 2 other vehicles for me in the past, and I could not be happier with what I received. Trust them to take care of your dream car. Youll get what you pay for and more here.

My original review seems to have disappeared. It has been several years and the tint looks as if it was done at the factory. Add to it the great customer service, makes the whole experience phenomenal.

Custom Tint Inc. (Apex, NC) is the place to get paint protection and ceramic coated needs. I had a hard time choosing a place just because of not knowing a lot about the topic so I was worried about choosing the wrong place but Aaron and Kelly are very knowledgeable and explain everything from beginning to end. The kindness, level of work, and expertise just makes Custom Tint stand out even more and their work is highly reflected in the final product. The amount of detail put in to your car is worth every penny. I recommend anyone with any worries or questions to visit Custom Tint, you will be

Aaron and Kelly did a fantastic job with Tinting, PPF, and Gtechniq coating on my black 2020 Civic Type R. It looks amazing and you can tell they take a lot of pride in their work with attention to every detail. They were very friendly and answered all my many questions up front and kept me updated during the entire process. Afterwards, they took lots of time to explain the best ways to keep the car looking amazing down the road. Definitely would recommend!
