Spray tinted my tail lights and mirror marker lights (pics)

So today I spray tinted my tail lights and mirror marker lights on my F350. Here is what I did. Cleaned them with grease and wax remover twice. Sprayed them with Dupli-Color Adhesion Promoter. Then sprayed them with Rust-Oleum Lens tint. I let them sit about 30 mins and then cleared them with some Nason Clear for longevity. I think that they turned out pretty nice. What do you think?

Looks nice! Do you think it could be applied to the headlights too?

Do you think it will hol up well when it rains?
They are clear coat just like car paint job. They will shine better then a regular plastic lens for a long time.

Ok. Thanks! Found it! That's way cheaper than buying smoked aftermarket lights.

They turned out great! Where does one get the nason clear? Does it come in a spray can or does it come in a can and has to be sprayed?

I like the way it looks - how much reduction in light brightness do you think there is?

You push your upper mirror all the way towards the truck and you will see a gray tab that holds in the light. You take a flat screw driver and push the tab and they fall right out.

They look great! It's things like this that make me wish I didn't have a two tone King Ranch. Don't think it'll look very good with my White and Pueblo Gold.
