Default eclipse. car tint vs welders mask

Hello. I was wondering if 18% car tint would be the same as using a welders mask to use with my camera. I was thinking about putting it on my sun roof and having my camera under it. Do you think that would protect my camera from being damaged? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thank you

Not a chance. 18% transmission vs recommended less than 1%
2 #9 welding filters stacked gets close - I can JUST see the LED light
on my blackberry through them. A 9 and a 10 together are dark enough
to be safe.Not sure how much you will see through them.
