I used the Nite Shades spray from Jegs on the side markers.

I'm happy with the way they came out.





The tail lights are the flat acrylic covers.

I tried to use the night shades spray tint and it didn't go very well for me I could never get a nice uniform and gloss finish on anything I tried to tint... I sanded and wet sanded and polished and buffed, really I tried everything I could and nothing seemed to work very well. [shrug]
