I used Rustoleum brand spray tint, and it actually was pretty good stuff. Put 2 heavy coats and a light 3rd on.. should've went darker, let them dry good ! At first they didn't lay flat at all, but after the 4 or 5 coats of clear they turned out pretty decent. :thumbsup:

I just used the dupli color clear . Turned out great on mine. I also wet sanded the clear coat and hit it with my buffer with a rubbing compound followed by a swir remover followed by a wax.

Mine have the pre-cut window tint film on them. They look pretty good.

Well, it sucks. When I sprayed the clear on them, they turned a dull, thick, ugly, horrid grey. I attempted to strip it off one light, and pretty well destroyed it. Then I got the idea of trying to polish then using the Meguiar's Headlight polishing kit. It worked pretty good on the other light, so I polished the third brake light too and resprayed the one I ruined. Will work for now...ordering new tails now.

Sounds like you sprayed the clear on too soon. It looked hazy and/or cloudy? Sometimes if your lucky, the haze goes away once the clear starts drying, but it guess that doesn't really matter anymore in your case.

I have never had good luck with the Vht stuff either, it always comes out dull no matter how I try it

Yeah. Turned an ugly, hazy, cloudy greyish yuck. I ordered some 08 rears and if I decide to smoke those, I'll most likely take it somewhere and have the heat shrink tint film stuff put on em.
