The Tint Station Panama city fl
At The Tint Station Panama City FL, we’ve been the trusted choice for premium window tinting in Bay County since 1987. Back then, our founder, Johnny Smith, opened a single-bay garage called Johnny’s Tint Station, determined to bring big-city craftsmanship to Panama City drivers who wanted more than just a shade-darker window film.
Over the next three decades, that one-bay shop evolved into a full-service tint studio with a reputation for meticulous work, honest advice, and rock-solid warranties. When we rebranded as The Tint Station in 2019, we kept everything people loved—our master installers, our commitment to genuine Llumar films, and our “treat every vehicle like it’s our own” philosophy—while doubling down on cutting-edge technology and expanded services.
A legacy of expertise
Thirty-plus years in the business means we’ve watched tint technology transform from dyed films that lasted a few summers to today’s ceramic and nano-carbon marvels that block 99 % of UV rays and up to 92 % of infrared heat. Our senior installer has logged more than 50,000 successful installs and still trains every new team member personally.
We pair that deep, hands-on experience with computer-cut plotters that guarantee a perfect edge on every window—no razor blades near your glass, paint, or weather-seals. The result is factory-grade precision that stands the test of Florida’s intense sun, salty air, and sudden downpours.
Premium materials, proven performance
We refuse to compromise on film quality. That’s why every package—from our entry-level carbon series to our flagship ceramic—uses Llumar films sourced directly from Eastman Performance Films. These materials are laboratory-tested for color stability, scratch resistance, and optical clarity. They carry a nationwide lifetime warranty against bubbling, peeling, fading, and purple shift, so if you ever move out of state, your coverage moves with you.
Beyond automotive tint, we install architectural films that can cut residential cooling bills by up to 30 % and specialty safety films that help hold shattered glass in place during storms or break-ins—an essential upgrade for coastal properties.
Services tailored to Panama City living
Our core service is still automotive window tinting, but today we also offer:
Paint Protection Film (PPF): Self-healing urethane armor that absorbs rock chips and sand abrasion on hoods, bumpers, and mirrors.
Ceramic coating: A glass-like layer that repels dirt, salt spray, and bird droppings while amplifying gloss.
Residential & commercial tint: Energy-saving films for condos, storefronts, and office buildings, including frosted privacy options.
Marine & RV solutions: UV-blocking films designed for curved boat glass and large panoramic motor-coach windows.
Whatever the project, our goal is simple: combine functionality, style, and longevity so you enjoy every drive—or every room—with greater comfort and confidence.
Our process: from consultation to care
Personalized quote: We start by listening—understanding how you use your vehicle or property and what issues (heat, glare, fading) you want solved.
Film selection demo: Using heat lamps and spectrophotometer data, we show exactly how each film performs so you can feel the difference before you buy.
Computer-cut patterns: Your film is cut off-glass to exact OEM dimensions, ensuring a flawless fit and no risk to factory glass.
Clean-room install: Vehicles are prepped in a filtered bay; architectural jobs are masked and vacuumed to keep dust at bay.
Final inspection & lifetime guarantee: Every edge, sweep, and seal is checked, then we register your warranty on the spot and explain after-care tips.
