Anyone use Nite shades or similar spray tint?

One thing you might want to keep in mind is the laws aganist them. The reason I say this is because I was going to do the covers for my truck, but my father's lawyer said if you ever get rearended the person who hits you can blame it on and your lights. I believe you need a certain amount of red on the light. The chance of me getting in trouble for an accident, possibility of a ticket from a cop(NJ blows) and the fact i'd have to take them on and off every 2 years kept me away from them. I really like the smoked look a lot though, it really looks good on raugusta's Audi, I think those tailights look a lot nicer then the ones on the newer models, but thats just my opinion.

I went to my local hobby shop today and they don't have the Testors tint...they were rude s.o.b.'s too! Even if they had it I would not of given them my business.

On the tail lights you posted above (the painted red ones), do you have any pics with the back up lights on? Do they light up white still with a hint of red or are they pretty much solid red looking?

I just did this last week. Everybody says my car looks much better with the lights tinted. I put on 5 coats on each light.

BTW I used the Testors Transparent Black window Tint. I will try to get pics up this week.

I actually sprayed mine Panther Black - the same colour as my car! Thats several very thin layers of Panther Black paint on there!

Any more pictures people?

So, is it better to spray it on the inside or the outside?

Do you know where to get these supplies in the NYC area? Shipping is a rip off!!

DOG, That really makes the Focus look good with the taillights blending into the paint.

well whoever said that niteshades is a justa flat or matte finish didn't know shizzle. Here are mine i just finished doing minutes ago, and they are shinier then they were stock, thanks to 320, 400, 600, 1500, 2000grit sand paper and some crystal clear spray paint.

here is the comparison of it sanded with 2000 grit on both, but on polished(i used Meguired Gold Class Paste Wax). See the difference?
