Well it depends on how quickly or slowly you move the can and how far away you hold it from the light. I held it close and moved relatively slowly.

That looks nice! Does anyone have a pic at night with the tail lights on? Or with brake lights on? Just wondered how transparent it was before I do it thanks.

Well I did mine, but my right tail light didn't come out too well. the paint cracked, and it looks like crap. :-( So that one is getting sanded down and redone tomorrow.

NOT a good idea, you'll scratch your light and the tint won't come off. TRUST ME.

When tinting with VHT, make sure you put a nice clearcoat over top of it so it's nice and shiny.

When I get the Regal's tails done, I'm sending them out to a paint man who mixes black with clear coat and sprays it all at once.

What did you do to get the tint off?
