I've seen red and blue. And brown..

Limo tint with high reflectivity could be a problem.

If it wasn't legal, they'd probably tell you...

or probably not...

But seriously, if you want to know, call the police for advice. Sure they'd help you out...oh wait...sorry, you'll need to supply a keg of VB and a 24 pack of Krispy Kremes before they'll acknowledge your existence...

j/k :P

Coloured tint, I have been told by a member of the TMU, is legal in Victoria, but the light level restrictions do apply. I was at Tint 4 U today and saw a white Grange with blue tint/reflective. Looked awesome. My tinter is trying to talk me into yellow with reflective background...........

I am not 100% sure but I did hear the figure of $400 mentioned when I was down at Tint 4 U in Melton yesterday. Give them a ring. They do a beaut job and I have had my last two cars done.

Coloured tints looks relatively penile (which is a bad thing) on stock cars.

Need to soup it up before adding all that bling crap.

But they do make a car look nice.
