Default Tinting Tail Lights...

Is this hard? Im looking at tinting my tail lights on my Accord and was wondering if anyone else has done this? Is there anything I should worry about or look out for? How do you keep it all the same shade of tint. Is it just like spray painting? Because im using spray tint. Anyone who has something to say feel free im open to anything.

Same as spray painting. Take your time, thin layer on top of thin layer, wet sand, repeat.

Very nice! I like the darker tint rather than lighter tint. Those almost look like a black cover. I'm still undecided if I want to so this to my OEM tail lights or not. What % is that?
