Customers don't buy series names. They buy a cooler car, more privacy, a cleaner look and a warranty they trust. Your job is to turn Scorpion's lineup into a couple of clear choices that match what each customer actually wants. This guide shows how to do that with the five Scorpion automotive series, using the specs Scorpion publishes. If you need the full spec breakdown first, start with Scorpion window film lines explained.
Step 1: Ask Four Questions Before You Show a Film
- What's bothering you most: heat, glare, privacy or looks? Heat points to the higher infrared rejection films. Privacy and looks are mostly about shade.
- Which windows? Rear windows, front sides and windshields have different legal limits, so the shade may change from window to window.
- How long are you keeping the car? Scorpion lists a lifetime warranty on all five automotive series. A customer keeping the car for years may care more about heat performance than the upfront price.
- Any concerns about metal in the film? Carbon, Carbon Plus, Shield and Shield Plus are non-metalized. King is the one carbon-metalized series, although Scorpion lists it as signal friendly.
Step 2: Build a Simple Three-Tier Menu
Most customers decide faster with three options. Here's one way to map Scorpion's lineup. Set your own pricing for your market.
| Tier | Scorpion series | What to tell the customer (from Scorpion's specs) |
|---|---|---|
| Good | Carbon | Color-stable carbon film with no dyes and no metal, 99% UV rejection, lifetime warranty. Widest shade range, ZERO (3%) to 70%. |
| Better | Carbon Plus or King | Carbon Plus adds a carbon layer for more heat rejection (62% IRR at 5%). King is carbon-metalized, which Scorpion says gives great optical clarity and an IR rating of 48–50%. |
| Premium | Shield or Shield Plus | Nano-ceramic, no metal. Shield lists 82–87% IRR. Shield Plus, which Scorpion calls its highest-performing automotive film, lists 93–95% IRR and comes in a light 70% shade. |
Figures from Scorpion's product pages for Carbon, Carbon Plus, King, Shield and Shield Plus. Some numbers are published at different shades, so compare at the same VLT before quoting.
Step 3: Match the Film to Common Customer Types
"I just want it darker and clean-looking"
Privacy and looks come from the shade, so the Carbon series covers it well. It has no dyes, which is why Scorpion says it resists fading better than dyed films.
"My car is an oven in summer"
Show Shield and Shield Plus. Infrared rejection is the heat you feel on your skin, and Scorpion publishes its highest IRR numbers for those two series. If the customer also wants a lighter look, Shield Plus comes in 70%.
"It's a high-end car with frameless glass"
Frameless windows go up and down against the seal more than framed glass, so adhesion matters. In our Porsche 911 lesson we explain why we use Scorpion 35 Carbon on frameless glass:
"I don't want anything that affects my phone or GPS"
Point them to the non-metalized series: Carbon, Carbon Plus, Shield and Shield Plus.
Step 4: Check the Law Before You Pick the Shade
Tint laws regulate how much light passes through (VLT), not the brand. Each province and state sets its own limits for windshields, front side windows and rear windows. Before you write up a quote, check the rules where the car is registered. Our guides to window tint laws in Canada by province and state guides such as Texas and California are a good starting point.
Step 5: Sell With Samples, Not Adjectives
- Keep a swatch book or sample pieces of each shade so customers can see the darkness in person.
- Quote Scorpion's published numbers accurately and link back to the spec sheet instead of rounding up.
- Explain the warranty and your own workmanship guarantee separately, since one covers the film and the other covers your install.
- Show customers your own work on similar cars. Clean edges and dot-matrix work close more jobs than spec sheets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a three-tier tint menu?
It's a short list of three film options at rising price points, for example a carbon film, a stronger carbon film and a ceramic film. It helps customers compare without feeling overwhelmed. With Scorpion's lineup, many shops build it from Carbon, Carbon Plus and Shield or Shield Plus.
Should I offer Scorpion King or a ceramic film?
Scorpion's King series is carbon-metalized and the company highlights its optical clarity and heat rejection. Shield and Shield Plus are non-metal nano-ceramics with higher published infrared rejection. If a customer wants no metal in the film, Carbon, Carbon Plus, Shield and Shield Plus are the non-metalized options.
Which Scorpion film should I use on frameless windows?
In our Porsche 911 video, we use Scorpion 35 Carbon on frameless door glass because frameless windows see more wear, and we want a film with strong adhesive tack and longevity. Prep and edge work matter just as much as the film.
Can I put any Scorpion shade on any window?
No. Tint laws in each province and state set limits for how dark each window can be, and they're different for windshields, front sides and rears. Pick the shade that's legal for the customer's location before you choose the series.
How do I get Scorpion pricing for my shop?
Scorpion sells to installers through distributors, or directly where there's no distributor in your region. Tint Academy students and graduates can apply for Scorpion dealer access at scorpionwindowfilm.com and mention Tint Academy.
