It's a long story that starts out with going fishing and ends up with the painter eating fresh Sushi.
I've watched them do many cars, mostly Escalades, Navagators, & Mercedes over the last two years and finally decided to give it a try. I have some original side lights that were done two years ago but never put them on since I like the flat ones better.

I believe they dilute black with clear. It sure turned out nice, very even, and I am very happy with the resulting look.

i'm assuming this is done on the inside? i know you won't pass emission if you tint the headlights, but the headlights can be done too, right?

i'd like to do it to both the headlights and taillight (and side markers too, of course).

please explain how it's done sideways

can't wait to see the day pics, might be a tad bit too dark for me but if it can be done lighter, I'd like to know!
