in person it has like a matte finish, not too flat but not shiney. but idk ill give it a week or too and i might just polish them up 
thanks man. when the light hits them they arent really that dark, i didnt want them too dark but 1 coat i thought was too light and also i didnt wanna have any trouble with the po po. so right after i did them i put them in and had my dad (retired cop) check them and he said i should have a problem enough light is comin thru.
it was really easy, ive seen people where it takes them the whole day to do theres, on the back of the spray can it just said use some grease and tar remover then wipe the lights down and your ready for your first coat, no sanding or anything, and i went thru the car wash and they look the same so im guessin i did a decent job on them. now to do my reverse bar.

I'm sorry, but now after the new pics I don't like them. I feel that tinted tails should be smooth looking and shiney, UNLESS your whole car is flat painted.
Tails should look like this:

Agreed, ImpSS07. OP you should either wetsand and buff the **** out of those or get them redone at a bodyshop where they can spray clear with a couple drops of black mixed in.
