tail light tint

Was wondering who does tail light tinting these days, I'd like to get the tails and 3rd light tinted on my 2010 tundra, I know I can use vht night shade but every time I try to do something like this my self I tend to mess it up some how lol I'd rather pay someone to do it right so it come out nice.

Re: tail light tint

the painter at my work does a hell of a job tinting lights. I think he uses a tinted clear.

Re: tail light tint

If possible to ask him I'd appreciate that a lot, I'd for the right prices I'd be interested in doing a big lot of lights including my talon tails as well.

Re: tail light tint

I know tint pros tints tail lights and shit too. I'm hopeful I can get my truck in there before too long for tint and if you don't figure anything out by when I go in I could ask them.

dbc500 is for tinting with base coat not adding to clear coat. you can do it to clear coat but is really not the right way to do it.

the method is basically taking a single stage and mixing a small amount with clear, and then go over again with another coat of clear. It turns out nice and still retains a gloss. We also use different products, and shoot with waterborne.

At any rate i'm sure he will be happy either way.

Re: tail light tint

Mark you still do it? If so shit I might take you up on doing my Lexus ones. I'm not happy with my results with VHT. Loved the ones you did for my Talon back in the day.
