yEAH THE SPRAYS ARE OK. TAKE YOUR TIME ITS BEST TO DO IT IN LAYERS LOTS OF LIGHT COATS NOT ONE BIG ONE. YOU CAN REMOVE IT WITH A MILD SOLVENT LIKE METHNOL (NOT METHYLATED SPIRITS!).

Bolox, go all out and black the fookers

I think the tinting spray only cost me Â£10 and that did, rear lights front indicators and side repeaters

dont mean to pee on anyones bomfire, but someone must have put it into my head that tinting rear lights was illegal?? dont take me word for it as ill do it too if its legal; sounds fab.

Just get a set from E-Bay or the Scrappies, that will be even easier

Has any kind person got a pic of a dragon green polo with tinted tail lights? Gonna go for it tommorow if it looks good. Hopefully my fail in GCSE Art wont help me miss the light and hit the reg plate or something
