spray-on light tint for my truck.

my sister sprayed her car taillights with smoke tint from a can and it looks sweet. i'm just wondering, if i sprayed some on my front orange turn signals, would the orange, still show through when i turned my signals on?

I haven't seen that tint in a long time, but I seem to remember that it comes off without too much effort if you don't like it. The orange should still show through, but it will be darker, or not as bright if you will.

Ditto to what Diesel_Brad said. One thing to think of, though, when it comes to tinting lights. Is the 'cool factor' of the lights worth the risk of someone not seeing the signal? I used to have tinted tails on a few vehicles and they looked great, but one day a good buddy of mine was following me for a while and later on told me he was having a helluva time seeing when the lights came on. This was on a very bright day, which certainly didn't help, but he's a very good and attentive driver, so I took that as an alarming wake-up call and took the lights off the car.
