You need to tint the reverse light too. Kinda stands out. I did my tails about a year ago, 3 coats, now I am liiking at black headlights to go with it. Need to paint my only emblem next.

How about using a dark cherry candy spray paint from a hobby shop. Just go find the Testors paint section, both in models and RC paint.

Did mine with RC window tint for a black chrome look.
