How do you tint the tailights? Not smoke them with the can. I see that some people got them tinted

Ok even if you some how mess them up you can take the paint off and the tails will look fine.  Theres only 1 way to find out if you like it or not. Just try it. Im gona smoke out my front turn signals some time this week.

Let me know how and with what you did your tails. Did you spray the outside only? Also, how easy is it to get the paint off, and do the tails still shine, or are they dull.

ahg, too many questions.

Ok the paint that I used was the transparent black window tint from testors (Model Masters). Yes I just sprayed the out sides only. When I redid them it wasn't that hard to get the paint off. I used finger nail polish remover. Just took some rubbin back and forth to get them all clean. When I first painted them they were dull, but when I redid them I put some clear coat on over them and they are shinny now. You can get the paint at your local hobby store or have them order it for you.
