i did my tails too. used vht nightshade and wetsanded with 2000 grit and then clearcoated them. the sanding and clearing
makes them much shinier (if thats even a word)

i think the spray on stuff is cheap and requires the perfect set-up before you spray it and it requires sanding and a clear coat for best results.

i had a highly reputable tint shop do mine

and no its tinted on the outside the tint is just THICKER to be able to withstand conditions on the outside of the car

it is worth every penny i think the spray stuff looks cheap up close and i dont like the idea of spray painting my taillights

VHT Nite Shades only looks good if professionally cleared, believe me. Unless you enjoy the dull look.

The tint film always looks great though, and isn't nearly as permanent! Plus it's guaranteed to be uniform, where Nite Shades is dependent on how well you can operate a spray can.

but still, the correct way would be to use some spray tint, whatever works for you though.
