Tint Tail Lights

[2.8 Bird]

Did anybody here tinted their tail lights? If so how do you like it and did it last long?

I have.. it looks good. And it has been there for about a year and no chips or fading. It is automotive grade paint and gloss (like your actual paint), so it'll last as long as the paint on your door. Ha.

That's the one I'm more interested in. I didn't want to scratch my tail light with fine sand paper in order to remove the gloss and then spray it with Nightshade.

I want something that I can remove later on if I change my mind. Where did you get your tint from?

I sanded mine with very thin paper, like barely noticeable ans used auto grade.

u dont have to remove the gloos before u spray nightshades , they look better when u dont , i wetsanded mine after i hit them with nightshades and they look damn good


covers are a abetter option if ur not sure u wont like them and may want to change back though

Re: Tint Tail Lights

only problem I have had is with inspections to renew my tags. Some inspectors dont care, some are complete a-holes about it....
