Match OEM window tint

To make a short story long, a guy who works for me asked if I wanted him to tint my front windows, but after seeing his truck, I noticed that the windows he tinted do not match the factory winows (in color, not in darkness).

So I want to know what was used originally on my 06 F350 KRanch (back windows of the crew cab).

Any Clues?

20% black limo is usually real close to the factory color. Use at your own risk!

There's a site somewhere that lists them all, try Google. I think 32-35% is the norm.

Front Side Windows Must allow more than 50% of light in.

I have 20% on mine and it matches the OEM glass. The guys who did my tints use a commercial brand, very good quality. Here in NY, I believe the law states 70% of light must show through. I imagine it varies from state to state.
