tint spray/paint
hey-does anyone know where i can get tinted paint for windows? i'm going to have my tail lights tinted, but i was trying to find something that i can mix and put into a spray gun. my boy's body shop is gonna do it for me, but he told me that if i can get a pint of something that he can mix and put into the spray gun, it would look much better. if i have to use the VHT i guess i will, but i'm trying to find actual tint paint.

I used VHT Nightshades on my last car... and will do it again on my TC
Tail lights had 3 coats of VHT on them. All i did was clean them and paint. I waxed them with the car. They were a little rough, but a little 2000 grit sand paper / buff would make them glossy as glass.

Spraying the outside gives the look you want (i think you want) If you do the inside you have what looks like plastic over your paint. I would look funny. Painting the ouside makes it look really nice. I was in love with my tails after i did them.

i believe that any regular factory clear coat will work perfectly. as far as the overlays, i tried putting them on, but they just weren't that good(i didn't do a good job). they bubbled and i messed it up basically. if i knew someone who could do the overlays for me and do a good job, i would've gone that route. it's just annoying to keep buying overlays that u messed up and then still not having them look right.
