Earlier this year I tinted the tails on my Buick and I really like how they came out. They went from a lipsticky red color to a deep ruby that almost matches the paint color. Before and after...
I decided to do the tails on the Astro and I think it came out pretty nice. Some cars and car colors look good with darker tint, for mine I decided on a real moderate tint, just enough to tone down the color to a nice deep ruby red. The other plus is after clear-coating and buffing they have a real jewel-like appearance.
Here's a before pic with the stock tails, really dull and that lipsticky red color:
Here's an after pic; I had a hard time getting true colors with the light outside today but this one is not bad.
Another pic, you can see how much better they look buffed out.
I've done a few sets of these now, and this time I took a lot of pics. If anyone is interested I might write up a how-to.
