Tinting tail lights

Just wanted to know what you guys would use to tint the tails. I just saw JDMInspired tails and saw that the white part of it was tinted. What did you use???

I tinted the red part of my tails and cut the white part off. I got a local shop to do mine. Mine is the vinyl overlay which can be taken off and re used. The cheap ones are the sticker ones. Stick to the vinyl! You can buy the vinyl overlays for our cars on ebay, then you just need to find someone to put them on. It goes on just like tint, your local tint shop will be able to put them on.

I wouldnt spray them, unless you NEVER want to go back on it.

With the Night Shade its hard to put it on even. It also dosnt always come out glossy.

I just did my first window tinting today and it was really easy. My buddy and I painted his tails with niteshades and the first time we did a lot of coats and it came out flat, we have since re-done it with only 3 coats and its nice and glossy...It looks reallyy nice.

spraying is easier than the film. ive done it. just take ur time and put on thin coats. u CAN take it off with paint thinner. also if u spray clear coat on them, they will be shiny.
