Yeah more will come soon, but you can see a bronze tint to everything from the inside. I actually kinda like the bronze tint with the anthracite interior; gives it a warm tone.

Nope you got it right. This was a clear and bright day, so you are seeing pure Florida summer blazing through the tint. Anywhere you can see clearly through to the outside without going through a second surface, it will be visible. On almost all angles, it isn't noticeable from the outside.

I'll be retinting black.

Interior/Exterior Bronze Tint?

Bronze tint could actually complement royal gray metallic really well, especially since your paint already shifts between brown, green, and gray depending on lighting. A warm bronze film tends to enhance those earthy undertones instead of fighting against them. In bright sun, it can bring out that subtle brown hue, and in overcast conditions it usually settles into a clean, classy gray look.

One thing to think about is whether you’re going interior or exterior bronze. Interior film usually gives a more subtle effect, while exterior bronze can appear a bit richer and more noticeable. On a Mini Cooper, that contrast can look sharp if the wheels and trim are dark.

Also, if you're already updating the glass, it might be worth protecting the paint so the color shift stays vibrant over time. Shops such as OC Tint Solutions offer ceramic coating services that help preserve metallic finishes and keep that depth popping in different lighting. You can visit here to see how coatings pair well with tint for a complete look.
