Re: (distortedfuture)

tint wont work because you need to heat it up to shape it and by the time you get it shaped you probably have melted the tailights

take you tails to a shop. Tell them to mix 90% clear with 10% black. Drop two coats on, then top of with clear only.

Depends on if you can make it look nice like that. So far, all the lights that I've seen done with VHT Niteshades look terrible (needs clearcoat). Maybe light tint like LaminX would be alright.

Yea...it's not like someone's gonna say 'omg you have the coooolest colormatched taillights ever!' plus it's hard as **** to see you braking if you're in front of me in the daytime.
