Tinting rear lights

[AhmedRSi]

Has anyone on here done it? Can you recommend any decent tint sprays?
I just want a very light smoked look, like some vauxhalls have.
Any advise?

I have, used savage tinting spray.

I just got some from an auto-shop, they sell it on eBay too (it has a picture of an old Beamer on the can). Don't forget to wet sand it down and use clear coat enamel to protect it.

Wet sand on 1200 beforehand should be ok yes?

800 would be fine to be honest mate. You can also try regular black body paint, worked on mine no problems. just remember to do light coats

theres also a tint similar to window tint that can put on lights.. i had my old car done with these.. stil allows to be legal, let the same amount of light thru.. and looks spot on!

Made me lol, Didn't you paint your roof with a paint roller .

Anyways don't you have to be careful when tinting them as you need to show some of the reflector or something?
