I would not spray these yourself. Very expensive if you make a mistake. I would use one of these two options:

guys, lacquer can remove the tint spray. Im taking them out and taping them off. This process shouldnt be that hard and i can do it. My dad is self employed and has been a painting for over 14 years! I GOT THIS!!! thanks for the concern though.

Yes, Laquer thinner will remove the tint spray AND it will melt the plastic tail lights.
Good Luck, I hope it works out for you.

have the lights completely out and cleaned. Second guessing the idea of tinting them black. Part of me is saying leave them stock because they are near perfect. Other part says do it. Im not second guessing my ability to do the mod, that should be easy. I just dont know if i want to do this. Input? Suggestions?
