Looking to pick up a bottle of this stuff for tinting the rear lights. Anyone know of stores in the bay area that sell it? Would rather not pay $10 shipping. I live in SF and work in Concord

 

Kragen's , at least the one off Appian Way in Pinole methinks

 

Hum... didn't think that they carried it. I suppose I could drive by.

Anyone else have ideas?

 

i might need some

 

i've been looking to get rear ended too.

haha JK since it does look cool on some cars.

 

ive called like 4 kregens, 3 auto zones, and a few other car shops and none of them in the Sac area carry that stuff anymore.. for headlights or taillights??

 

Auto freak in japan town sells some jdm type spray tint. i got the yellow and it works perfect. they got black also.

 

lol kyle your f***in hilarious.

 

Just called Auto Freak. They sell Dia brand black tint for $29. I was looking at $18 for Nite-Shades w/ shipping, so I'll probably go with that.

First pic: How they look now (though that's not the color of my car)
Second pic: Tinted lights with film
Third pic: Diluted automotive paint with masked off the reflector at the bottom
Fourth pic: Nite-Shades with masked off circles/reflector at the bottom

I want to go for the look of the diluted paint whereas the top is smoked and the reflector is left alone. I would try to tint them myself, but since its not going all the way to the bottom I would be worried that it may come off (your thoughts?). So I want to try and use Nite-Shades.

How do you apply a film of tint? My impression is you cut it to size, spray some water, put the tint on and squeegee out the excess and then hit it with a hair dryer... am I far off?
