Major Colorado markets
Colorado market context
Denver metro has a strong premium-vehicle culture (lots of Tesla + Audi + BMW) and a year-round outdoor lifestyle that puts cars through heavy use. Ceramic coating + PPF adoption is elevated; tint demand is moderate (sun-driven, not heat).
Colorado film tint laws
Colorado requires 27% VLT on front side, rear side, and rear windows by default; the rear window can only go darker if the front side windows and windshield stay at 70%+ VLT. Metallic or mirrored film is banned on every window. Windshield: nonreflective tint only in the top 4 inches. Colorado has no medical exemption for darker tint - a gap operators moving from other states often assume doesn't exist.
SalesThumb's state VLT compliance check uses these CO thresholds at quote time. Out-of-spec selections trigger an auto-attached customer waiver to the invoice.
