Mine are 7:1 mix of clear/black paint. They are then wet sanders and buffed out. I don't like nightshade so i went this route. When doing it like I did, yes the lights look dark but when lit up are still bright. I went with 4 coats on mine since I was using led lights but the pic of the TA with mine has two coats for normal bulbs.

Here is a pic of mine when I was at the bodyshop and wetsanding and buff was done.

I think it would look good as long as you don't do the berger as well. I prefer either/or on camaros.

And I usually don't like blacked out tail lights, on a T/A, because I like the honeycomb look. It's one of those things that make them stand out from pretty much all other cars. But I like this one because you can still kind of see whats going on. It's got me thinking

Thank you man! I also like the honeycomb design, just toned down a little lol in day light you can see it pretty clearly still. Night time there is virtually no loss of light shining through.

Bringing this back from the dead. I am debating on doing this to my NBM Z. This was my 01 SS that I had a body shop spray.

You should see if a body shop will mix some clear with NBM instead of black to give it a body color tint. Other wise I don't think dark cars look right with tinted tails. There's no contrast to break the rear up unless you have stainless emblems or something

That is why I haven't done it yet. I blacked out the rest of the lights except for the tails...I do plan on stainless emblems or contrasting emblems of some sort.

I like the lt1 tail lights.

I'm a huge fan of tinted blacked out tails on these cars. Nothing better than all blacked out on a black or silver car. I have the covers, buffed and polished them to a paint like gloss and love em.

I agree

I went lighter on mine though, a couple coats of VHT nightshade and some clear and then wet sanded and buffed. they do look a little darker in person but you get the idea. berger will be gloss black and the spoiler will be body color (MQB) when I get the whole car repainted eventually

Why tint when you can use covers?

Some acetone easily removes the AVS lettering leaving a smooth, black finish. Mine looked great, fit great, stayed in place, and were still easily removable for car washes / annual inspections.

agree 100 %. I've did the night shades and still use for markers and such, but like I said above, I use covers for the tails, buff and polished them up and removes stickers, can't get a cleaner look imo, and easily removable, yet even driving the car hard, cornering, bumps, high speed, never lost one. Mine are actually 18 years old, been on 2 camaros, still shine great. Best 50 bucks spent bar none.

Thanks for the input on the covers. I have always wondered how they held up. I like that idea for the ease of removal, in case I need to.

Wow, those covers are cool. I've always done the traditional VHT route, have to try a set of these next.

The reason I don't like covers on a Camaro is because I like the look of the LT1 tails tinted with the white reverse portion not tinted. Looks awesome and the lines flow oh so well from the berger to the hatch.
