AMG tint on my rear lights

I posted this on the other forum too but I know some people don't go over there often. Anyway........

First....let me say two things. 1) I'm including a bunch of pics. 2) Yes...my car is filthy. Don't give me no crap people.

Ok.....I decided to try a fun afternoon project. I'm pretty happy with it. I think I could/should have thrown one more coat on there but as it is I like it. Anyway, the pics pretty much tell the whole story. I put 3 light coats of black transparent tint on and 2 coats of clearcoat. Then I took off the tape and gave 2 more quick coats of clearcoat. Enjoy!!!

Looks great! You definitely got them the perfect shade - not too light, not too dark.

Nice work, looks great! I always wondered how smoked taillights would look in a black CLK. Now I know. Thanks!

Wow!!! That's it!!! You're soooooo generous.
Yep.....it says it's still on track to get here today. Unfortunately I won't be able to put it on. So I guess I'll have to do it tomorrow. Maybe a sick day from work is in order.

Just don't tell your insurance company what you did when you get rear-ended.

Only tinted the turn signals and back up lights. Brake lights are stock. It's no different than AMG tail lights.
