Styling punto rear lights smoked
get some etech spray, and put some even coats on it. Don't go to dark if your doing the whole light though. If you want a matt black finish get savage spray and get etech spray if you want to keep it shiny.
smoked mine today, havent gone as dark as some of those on the link posted above but id say dark enough
Ill take some pics later on

I finished tinting mine today... also did the side repeaters
Came out alright but need to keep polishing them!
I used both e-tech and savage and would probs advise using e-tech as you dont have to faff around polishing or lacquering!
dont know wether mine are illegal or not though...

Can still see the reflector so id say they were still legal, if in doubt, stick some additional reflectors on the bumper at MOT time
Ye cheers,
I was thinking that maybe they were too 'black' but maybe not!
Is it better to polish them for a few mins or buy lacquer... too make them shiny!

usually, if your spraying is pretty good you shouldn't need laquer... however, if you have some polish, have a go with it and see how it works, if not try some laquer.
a little tip if you do go down the laquer route is to apply very thin coats. Also, if you put the laquer can in a some warm water for a few minutes before hand it helps you get an even thin coat as the laquer come out thinner due to being a higher temperature.
Well looks like im not that gooder sprayer then!!
ye think ill have a go at the polish thanks

i thought he didnt spray the reflectors
he was unsure whether or not they were legal... extra reflectors would make them legal as its hard to tell from the photo
