Tinting Tail Lights

Theres a TON of videos on youtube on how to do this, that I recommend watching, because I tried doing this on a previous car.... and it did not come out good.

It will leave dimples and pits if not clean and sprayed even... Mine have a few I am trying to smooth out with out messing the lights up..

Have you tried wet sanding and then adding mcguires wax? Seems to work pretty good. I have done a few sets of tail lights before. Here is the process I follow:

1. Remove tails
2. Wet sand with 1500 gritt and a little soap
3. Tape off
4. Clean with rubbing alcohol.
5. Add "X" amount of coats of VHT
6. Add "X" amount of clear coat
7. Wet sand with 1500 gritt and a little soap
8. At Mcguires wax to get the desired shine.
