Default Tinting the Lights

So today i went with my dad to the body shop he works at, and i decided to tint my taillights. I used transparent inhancing clear coat with some black mixed in it. I think it looks good, what do yall think?

first i hit it with some 1000 grit to smooth them up.


then a grey scuff pad


cleaned them off and taped to reverse lights off


then we put a few coats on them


Then we took the tape off the reverse lights and hit again so that the reverse lights wouldnt stand out so much. The reflector is blacked out, the flash makes it look like its not




Then the final product



I think they look better in person, all the pics were taken with my phone lol.

what do yall think?
