right, would it work if i got my standard mk2 rear lights, bought some black spray paint from Halfrauds, and put a few light coats on the outside, would that tint them? and would i have to buy some other stuff to stop it from coming off?
please tell me if i'm being thick cos i think i know the answer, but you guys all know best lol.
cheers.

You can either use black tinting spray from halfrauds, not normal spray, for like 15 quid. Or use normal black spray mixed with shit loads of laquer.

is the tinting spray with all the other normal sprays? cos i reckon i would do that; if i did i wouldn't have to put anything else on it would i?

i've done it.. looks really good, but am not sure whether yo will actually be able to see the lights through it :( lol so might not be as good as hoped. have to wait 'till it's dark. you can see the indicators now.. not amazingly but you can see them. if mr plod stops me, whats the worst that could happen to me 'cos of them?
cheers
