Never mind! Do it like Da_Meister_22. The white part really looks good tinted like that with the black car!!!

At first I used a standard vinyl overlay that I got from decalfx.com
I put the vinyl it on there just like glass tint made sure all the bubbles were out and then cut right along the edge of the white. After a while I decided it was what I wanted and so I took the Vinyl off and got it painted. BTW, I also got the reflectors sprayed to match.
