I am getting my tail lamps painted right now at a tint shop, he was going to charge me 90$ for tint but I told him I rather have them sprayed so he's going try it out for me, I am getting the bottom red portion painted a 30% will post some pictures up when I pick them up. I heard spray looks better than tint so this is why I chose this route.

I actually like just the top smoked.

EuroC...do you clear coat the entire tailight or just the bottom part that's tinted? Not having seen this first hand, i'm guessing coating the entire taillamp would look the cleanest
