With just a few simple steps, you can add some color and style to your motorcycle helmet in no time.

We’ll cover the basics of motorcycle visor tint, what materials are needed to do it yourself, and how to apply the tint correctly so that you get the desired result.

So let’s get started on making sure your next ride looks as good as it feels.

Purpose of Motorcycle Visor Tint

Tinted visors are a great way to enhance your look and add some extra protection while you’re on the road.

Tinting your motorcycle helmet can help reduce glare from the sun, which is essential for safety while riding.

The tint also blocks out harmful UV rays, making it a great way to protect your eyes and face from sunburn.

Are Tinted Visors Legal?

Tinting your visor is usually legal, however, you should always check with the local laws in your area to make sure.

In many areas, the tint has to be specific darkness and can’t obscure vision or impair night riding.

Options for Motorcycle Visor Tint

When it comes to tinting your visor, you have two main options.

You can either go with a pre-tinted visor or use a film that you install yourself.

Pre-tinted visors are available in various shades and are usually made of a durable material like polycarbonate.

If you want more control over the tint, you can opt for a film that you apply yourself.

This type of tint is usually made from vinyl or polyester and comes in a variety of colors and shades.

How To Apply Tint to Your Motorcycle Helmet Visor

If you’re going to install your own visor tint, you’ll need the following materials:

  • Visor tint film.
  • Scissors.
  • Razor blade or craft knife.
  • Lint-free cleaning cloth or paper towels.
  • Squeegee.
  • Soapy water.
  • A heat gun or hair dryer.

Once you’ve gathered all of your materials, it’s time to apply the tint to your visor.

Start by cleaning the visor with a damp cloth or paper towel and soapy water.

Once the visor is clean, measure and cut the tint film to size.

Then use a razor blade or craft knife to trim the edges of the tint so that it fits perfectly on your visor.

Spray the visor again with soapy water then apply the film, using your heat source to help mold it onto the visor.

Use the squeegee to press along the film, getting rid of any air bubbles. Once the film is securely attached, let it sit for a few hours and you’re done!

Tinting your visor is an easy and cost-effective way to customize your motorcycle helmet and become the envy of all your riding buddies.

With just a few simple steps, you can create a unique look and stay safe.
