DONT BUY THE SPRAY TINT...I just told you mine is crackin and some already came off and its only 6 months old and I put 5 coats of the black tint and 3 coats of gloss. Spend a little more money $50-125 on airbrushing you taillights.

Dude your the one who asked about the tint how are you gonna tell me whats wrong or right....you can put a thousand coats to get the darkness you want. I put 5 bcuz i wanted it real dark and i put 2 coats to make it a real nice gloss. And the tint spray...was the one ur suppose to use. There are about 12 cars that did the taillights at my school at the same time I did and they all have got the same results (cracking, coming off). And the only smart one that airbrushed it looks like new.

Most of it is surface prep...you can take it down to any body shop and the painters will hook it up as well. Plenty of folks I know used to get thier tails done up years ago and they still look good..

NOTICE EVERYONE HE SAID AT HIS SCHOOL, Chino saw me spray my lights I put 3 coats of tint and 1 of gloss, they are just as dark as steverino's, but I bet mine will not flake, peal or anything like that,
Steverino it is QUALITY not QUANITY that makes a product or way of doing something good or bad. I am sure Ya'll were in a hurry and did something wrong when you sprayed your tails

Trust me I spent 4 hours doing this including time for the paint to set before I put them back on my car. And if you do a little research on any site it will say put as many coats as you want to get the darkness. If i though quanity was gonna be better i would of put a thousand coats. And what does ppl from school have to do with anythin, dude the adults on this site are gettin bad reps dude everybody thinks they are so high and mighty, and extremely smart.

No offense.
But i own a window tinting here in GA, Spray tint is what we used on our customer Tail Lights, not the Film.
Apply 3 Coat and 1 coat of gloss.
We been here for 7 years, the same location, and sometime them customers with tint tail light came over and they still look brand new, nothing peel off....

Exactly what I used... goes on like water, drips down the lens as it self levels. Its made to go on heavy. Very easy to apply, and much easier then repeat coats to get both lights the same darkness.

You are the one with the "high and mighty, and extremely smart" rep around here, every time something comes up you seem to know it all, but your ideas seem to be different than 99.9% of the world that has already done what you are bitchin about don't work no more cause you fucked it up
