Tinted the tails this morning

First morning it wasn't hot as heck outside so I decided to tint my tail lights this morning. Turned out pretty good. Still gotta wet sand and buff them though...

Looks great

Have had mine tinted for quite awhile now and love the look.

Did you use any kind of clear top coat when you did yours? Mine has kind of a matte finish but still has a little shine to it

I had mine done by a shop so I can't say for sure what they did but they seem to have a shine to them:

What did you use? I just used clearcoat, add a little black to your clear - scuffed, painted and buffed!

That's just a single coat of VHT Night Shades with no clear. Im gonna drive around for a day or so to give it time to cure then spray it with a coat or to of clear then buff it out
