We can do a poly plastic coating on them in 50, 25 and 5% tint. It's permanent and is glossier than a new taillight.

$25 per light ( I have cores here so no down time)

This is the 50%

I can get some when we return to the shop on Monday. The 5% looks like a blackout, except very glossy.

If you know how to use a spray can...Just go to your local parts store and get a can of VHT Nightshade. It runs about 10 bucks a can and you can make it as dark as you want. Here are some pics of mine before and after clearcoat. The clearcoat was sprayed out of a gun. Soon I will be making a "how to" for nightshading taillights. If you have any questions I will be sure to answer them as best as I can.

Before Clear



After Clear
