Short answer
Offshore tints the Chevy Colorado on Maui with ProLayers film, cut for the Crew Cab or the Extended Cab and around the rear slider if the truck has one. Front doors stay at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires; the rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. A Crew Cab with back glass is a two- to three-and-a-half-hour job depending on the film tier, and the quote is built from those labor hours.
Key takeaways
- Crew Cab and Extended Cab Colorados use different door patterns, and the Crew Cab has more glass, so it takes slightly more labor.
- The 2023 and newer Colorado is sold as a Crew Cab only; Extended Cabs are 2015 to 2022 trucks.
- ZR2, Trail Boss and Z71 trucks use the same glass as the standard Colorado, so the cut, the process and the price are the same.
- The rear slider is tinted with the back glass, with the film trimmed to clear the slider track.
- ProLayers film has no metal layer, so the forward camera, lane keep assist and OnStar work as before.

How it works
- 01Tell us the cab and year
Crew Cab or Extended Cab, the model year, and whether the truck has the sliding rear window. That sets the pattern and the hours.
- 02Glass and sensor check
We note the camera housing behind the mirror, any old film or adhesive and the slider track before anything is cut.
- 03Prep
Every window gets an ammonia-free clean, and old film and adhesive come off if present.
- 04Cut and install
Film is computer-cut to the Colorado's window shapes, applied wet, squeegeed flat and heat-shrunk to the curve of the back glass. No razor blades on your glass.
- 05Inspect and cure
Every edge and the slider are checked before pickup. Leave the windows up for three to five days while the film cures.
What's specific to this vehicle
- Cab
- The Crew Cab has four full-size doors and the most glass. The Extended Cab, sold from 2015 to 2022, has two front doors and small rear-hinged access doors behind them, so it uses a different pattern and less film. From 2023 the Colorado is Crew Cab only. The quote follows the cab, so tell us which one you have.
- Glass
- Many Colorados have a sliding window in the center of the back glass. We tint every piece of the back glass and trim the center pane to clear the slider track, so it still opens and the edges do not catch. Trucks with a solid back glass get one heat-shrunk piece.
- ADAS
- Forward collision alert, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking read through a camera in the housing behind the rearview mirror. ProLayers film is non-metallic, so the camera, OnStar, the radio and phone signal are unaffected. Windshield film on the ceramic tiers is cut around the camera window, never across it.
- Tint levels
- Front doors at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through film and glass as Hawaii requires, with a 6% tolerance when the tint is metered at inspection. Rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The usual Colorado setup is a legal front and a darker rear, which also keeps gear on the back seat out of sight.
- Trims
- WT, LT, Z71, Trail Boss and ZR2 share glass within a cab style. The ZR2's lift, the wider track and the off-road bumpers change nothing about the windows: same film, same process, same price.

Crew Cab or Extended Cab
The Colorado is a small cab with a lot of glass at the back. On the tint bench it comes in two shapes. The Crew Cab has four full doors and the most glass. The Extended Cab, built from 2015 to 2022, has two front doors and short rear-hinged access doors behind them, so its pattern is different and it takes less film. From 2023 Chevrolet sells the Colorado as a Crew Cab only, so every newer Colorado is a four-door.
Our window tint quote is built from the labor hours for your layout, and a Crew Cab with back glass is the standard four-door truck job. Tell us the cab and the year up front and the number is right the first time. This page sits under the vehicles hub.
The rear slider
A lot of Colorados have a sliding window in the middle of the back glass. We tint all of it. The center pane is trimmed so the film clears the slider track, which means the window still opens and the film edges never catch on the seal. A solid back glass gets one piece, heat-shrunk to the curve of the glass so it lies flat with no fingers at the corners.
ZR2, Trail Boss and Z71
The off-road Colorados look nothing like a WT, but the windows are the same. A ZR2’s lift, wide track and steel bumpers change nothing about the tint job: same film, same process, same price. They do tend to live outside at a trailhead or a job site, which is where ceramic film earns its keep.
The camera behind the mirror
Forward collision alert, lane keep assist and automatic emergency braking read through a camera housed behind the rearview mirror. ProLayers film has no metal in it, so the camera, OnStar, the radio and your phone work exactly as before. If you add windshield film on the V10 or V16 tier, it is cut around the camera window, not over it.
Shade and the law
Hawaii sets the front doors at 35% VLT or lighter, measured through the film and the glass together, with a 6% tolerance when the annual safety inspection meters it. The rear doors and back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The usual Colorado setup is a legal front and a darker rear, which keeps the small cab cooler and hides whatever is on the back seat. Mirrored film is out, and on a 2013 or newer truck the third brake light stays clear. Every Colorado leaves with the compliance certificate Hawaii requires, which stays in the truck. The full rules are on the Hawaii window tint law page.
Which film
V6 Comfort carbon gives you the look, the privacy and the UV block. V10 Ceramic IR and V16 Ceramic IR MAX add infrared rejection, which is what makes a black interior bearable on a hot afternoon. Ceramic tint for trucks explains the difference in more depth, and the Silverado page covers the full-size Chevy the same way.
Scheduling
A Crew Cab is a morning drop-off and an afternoon pickup. Leave the windows and the slider closed for three to five days while the film cures. Request a quote with the year, the cab and whether it has the slider, and we will send the figure with Hawaii GET and the drop-off times that fit.
Questions
How much does it cost to tint a Chevy Colorado on Maui?
Tint is priced from the labor hours for your cab and the film tier, plus Hawaii GET, with a deposit to book. A Crew Cab with back glass is the standard four-door truck job. Request a quote with the year and cab for the exact figure.
How long does it take to tint a Chevy Colorado?
About two hours on V6 Comfort and up to three and a half on V16 Ceramic IR MAX for a Crew Cab. Drop off in the morning, pick up in the afternoon.
What is the darkest legal tint for a Chevy Colorado in Hawaii?
The front doors must let through at least 35% of light, measured through film and glass, with a 6% tolerance at inspection. The rear doors and the back glass can be any shade because the truck has mirrors on both sides. The windshield takes a top strip down to the AS-1 line, or 4 inches from the top where there is no AS-1 mark, or a clear film that keeps the AS-1 area at 70%. Hawaii has no medical exemption for darker fronts.
Will window tint interfere with my Colorado's safety systems?
No. The camera sits behind the mirror and the film has no metal in it, so forward collision alert, lane keep assist and OnStar keep working.
Do you tint the Colorado rear sliding window?
Yes. The slider is tinted as part of the back glass, with the film trimmed to clear the track so the window still opens.
Do you tint the Colorado ZR2 and Trail Boss?
Yes. They use the same glass as the standard Colorado, so the cut, the process and the price are the same.
Is ceramic tint worth it on a Colorado?
On a truck that sits outside in the Maui sun, usually yes. Ceramic film rejects infrared heat as well as UV, so the cab, the seats and the steering wheel stay cooler and the dash fades slower.
