Tinted side markers... And whatever else you can think of.

I was in Autozone looking for the trusty spray tint that I had used for years with no resolve. As I was walking out ready to spend $45 on tinted lenses from ebay I saw something new!? I'm still in the process and will post final pics but this is where I am so far. They turned out pretty dark with 2 coats. The pic is reflecting from the flash but I'm still pretty pleased with the product. $12.99 + tax In the restoration area with car match paint and bondo products.

just make sure you spray some clear coat.... cause the tint will fade in time in the hot sun !!!!

i tried this and it works.its also easy to take off with some type of acetone.the only bad part is u cant go back to stock cuz it stains the lens and gets inside it.

That is SO going on my 199 Black Opal car! Can I apply on the inside of the lens? Is it remarkably darker when on?

Installed. They're a little dark at night so I'll be wiping them down a little. Like prev stated acetone (like fingernail polish remover) will take it all off or a little at a time with some patience.

laquer thinner takes it right off with no harm!
