i tried using search and didnt find anything...so sorry if this has already been covered...i got tail light tint from a website and its just a vinyl...it doesnt fit right and looks bad up close...so i was wonderin if anyone knows of a tint shop that would do 20% tint on my tail lights for me? mr tint said no, and so did solartex

im the worst spray painter in the history of forever.....and i heard it ends up looking matte instead of glossy after awhile....i know the alternatives, and i just want normal tint...ill leave what i have now before i spray it...mines not too terrible, nobody has noticed without me telling them first...but its enough to bother me

These were done using the VHT Nightshades/wetsand/rattle can clear method, and it took a lot of work, but they turned out nice. In most cases I'd recommend taking the tails to a body shop and have them sprayed with a clearcoat/black mix

is there no tint shops that will do this? like i said...its not bad enough that i would want them sprayed, but if i can have them tinted correctly i would prefer that...i really dislike the idea of spraying them

There was a thread on this awhile back...

 

If I had about 10 people interested I would do it for a fair price. They would all have to be the same darkness...

 

 

25% paint reduced into clear, 3 coats.
