Default Who tints tail lights around here?

I want to get my tail lights tinted. Who does them on here? I could get them done some where in my town. Haven't really looked around though. I'd rather support the f body guys!

I have been looking for this to get done as well. Haven't been able to find anyone to do it though. Seeing as how we are both in the same area maybe someone can do it and we could get a group rate on shipping to get it done or something.

I know a guy at BRB that will do them on the side. Also know at a guy who paints semi's. Forgot the name of his work. He did them on my last car. Looked nice.

Maybe it's not an issue of cost but maybe he isn't great with painting himself and would like someone who has experience not fudge up his tail lights. It's like paying someone to tint your windows when you can just by a roll at Autozone.

sorry, i wasn't trying to assume anything about 1gt2nv by mentioning VHT. all i did was offer up an alternative, cheaper option, that will look just as good. not to mention you can buy tint for like $10 and do that yourself even easier than painting them. once again, im just trying to offer another option.

Heres the deal. I'm good at painting things. Just not with vht. I did my lights on my gp, and they looked like crap. I'd rather have them done with paint anyways. I think it looks better then vht. But that's just me. I guess I don't trust myself with a can of vht. lol

Find a local auto body shop, & ask them to clearcoat with a tint of black in the clear.
I've done it many times over, ...
