Hey people!

I just bought a car and done all the paperwork..

I went to the Madinat Khalifa Traffic Dept and asked the guy at the counter for the tinting permit...

He said tinting is illegal and has been illegal for years which is contradictory to what has been said here..

I questioned his response and told him why there are cars outisde tinted...he said they shouldnt be...

Can any1 help ?

Do I need this permit? I mean im nt going to do a full tint just a light one to minimise the UV light.

Are you looking for Solar heat rejection and UV protection, or just you want dark film irespective how much solar rejection and UV protection.

Titanium is one of the best company, they are the dealers for SolarGard from USA,their film come from 0% to 10% colour,absolutely no problem with Traffic,this film rejects up to 85% of Solar heat and 90% of UV rejection,it is the only film with Skin Cancer Foundation approval.

Titanium have 3 branches,main in Salwa road,In Garaffaha ,near Airport Pizza hut.

Titanium install in a dust proof indoors,they give 5years warranty,you find Titanium sticker only on High end vehicles,means only elite class and people who care for quality only use this.

Yes you can get an endorsement on the ownership card for QR 20 from the Police, but you can only tint rear passenger windows and nothing else. When you take your car for yearly testing, the Technical Inspection will identify it as a legal violation if you have tint anywhere other than the rear windows. The police will ask you to take it off before they issue a new registration.

I think super black tints are illegal. Except if you are a Qatari. Very light tints are ok. There are light tinted films that rejects up to 60% of heat (3M), but is quite expensive.
