Just sprayed these at my friends body shop. I did them light so that they remain tasteful, like the AMG Benzes. I am working on the rear fogs right now. But so far they look evil.:D

That looks nice, not too dark. Maybe I'm traumatized as I know two people who actually painted their tails completely black. Do you know what mixture of paint-to-thinner he used?
and post more pictures!!!

I had the same thing done your body shop should know,I know its a mixture of black and clear,make it very light the first coat the second coat will be slightly darker and if you want it darker add a third coat,this is the best way to judge not dark not to light.Keeps the tails looking new,just add a coat of wax and you have a perfect clean taillight.No Hazing!

Why not use tint film?
because it won't work... and paint/clear looks better

The film is crap and looks crap. Applied correctly the tails are just like any painted body panel. Ken would you post some freakin pics already. I will have another set ready next week.

Dudes....
I like the tinted dark tails like the SREET WK'S. So I can just go to a window tinting place and ask them to tint my tailights? (without them thinking I'm a nut?)

Window film will not work...Plastic is a pouros material and the window film will not adhere well you can order the plastic laminate off of ebay and they work fine just have a tinter do it cause they have a little more skill at installing it!!! I painted mine and they look great with the reverse lights HID...still bright as hell!!!
