Default Professional Tail light Tinting @ Pavlock Performance!

We have been doing tail light tinting for awhile now, but dont come across too many CTS-Vs. This is my 2nd job for a CTS-V and thought I would share with yall. No installed pictures just yet. But I did do Chuck's @HPE CTS-V too, maybe he will chime in with an installed picture.

PM if you are interested in this service.

I ONLY use PPG products, and this is no rattle can job! This is professionally painted and then buffed for a SLICK finish.

People ship me their lights all the time. As of now, I do not have any cores for CTS-Vs but if the interest is high, I will definitely buy some.

That way people could just be charged a core to receive my lights and then ship me their stock ones back to get the core refunded in full. No down time on the car.

Maybe I should gauge interest in this? How many guys would go for this then?

Yes please! Hell, I'd pay for the core upfront, you buy, paint and ship and then I send you back mine. That works for me as well, if the price is right!

Sure sounds like a hassle if someone ships a broken light or it's broken in shipping.

Not one light that has been shipped to me, or I shipped out has been broken.
Bubble wrap helps these lights stay safe, and believe it or not these lights can take a pretty good beating.

I would like to hear the terms and conditions of the core/exchange program. I'm not sure if I could go a week turn around time without my car

First I have to buy a set or two of lights.

Basically, if you want my cores, you pay for the tint and a core charge.
Then after you receive them, you take your stock ones off, and put my tinted ones on, then you box your stock ones back up and send them off to me. When I receive them in good used condition within 30 days of you receiving mine, you get your full core charge refund.

It's pretty easy, and very helpful for the people who need their cars on a daily basis.

Ok, sounds fair. If I decided to not take that route, what is the down time I can expect if I take mine off, send them in and wait for them to be sent back?

Appreciate the info!

I normally need 3-4 days to tint the lights and buff them out. Then however long shipping takes both ways. I would say probably two weeks with shipping.

if i seen my rear assembly on the cement without as much as cardboard
to protect from scratches and a size 11 foot on it holding it up.

i would be very concerned to say the least. most people are very particular
about the treatment of thier vehicals.
