RE: rear tail tint
got the tint spray, but the can says to apply between 70-90 degree air temp, i dont want it to end up looking like **** because it didn't dry right or sumthing so ill just wait at least til it stops snowing.
What part of NY are you from, gonna guess Ithaca area based on the IC, heard there hasnt been much snow down there from a few of my friends in the Cortland/Ithaca area. Was nice earlier here but now it sux.[:@]

RE: rear tail tint
just take the tails inside your house... 
thats how i redid mine again. LMFAO
and NO clear coat needed....... just read the instructions.... if anything if the paint doesnt look shiny.... then lightly hand sand it with some 2,000grit sandpaper and use some rubbing compound and shine em back up and wax up... but only after good and dry!
if ya have to pop them in the oven on the lowest seting posible and use the oven to speed up the complete dry time!
tho dont try messen with the tails until they are decently dry to the touch! best to spray some on some paper or some scrap plastic and paint over it as well... then touch it when ya think they are dry enough....
also some halogen lights work good to help drying... aagain thats what i used
and ya have to tint the outside the color is in the lense not from a bulb...
post pics up when ya done....
