Default taillight tinting

Does anyone know of a good place that tints taillights in Louisiana? I am thinking of getting mine done but I want it done right, because I am a little picky and if it doesn't look perfect, it will be expensive to replace the taillights

I don't know if this would be too far for you but High End in Lafayette does some pretty sweet jobs. I'm not sure on turnaround time but give em a call.

How much do you charge and why would picky cost me? Because if I am going to pay someone to do something I expect it to be done right and if they can not do it right to let me know beforehand.

That's my point. We can do it, and we will take our time doing it, but it will not be given away. Come swing by my Kenner shop, and I can give you an example of how it will look, and you can be the judge.

How do you tint the taillights? Do you use the tinting film or do actually paint them?

We use the VHT spray tint. It comes out pretty nice.

I have pre-cut tint for the tail and reverse lights @ 15%. I'll sell it to you if you're interested.

My friend can do them. We use actual paint and can get them as dark and light as you want.

Could I remove the spray tint if I wanted later?

Not sure if I am committed enough yet...

Painting the light would be best longevity method. useing base/clear mix you can get the darkness you desire and they stay shiney unlike NVT. tint you can remove but may not look great on edges or last long.
