Cool Tinted my tails

First off, I'm taking pics along the way (except for removing tails- search "remove sedan tail lights")
Second, Cant find my camera and my computer wont pick up my phone for some reason.
Third, make sure you point the can i the correct direction before pushing the button (picks to come)

I'm doing 2.5 light/moderate coats of VHT and 3/4 coats of clear. I did the same amount on my front bow-tie as well. It looks black in the shade, and moves to a dark green, and then some green-goldish. Turned out kinda like chameleon paint

Pics:
after first coat


Running lights


The Bow-tie


still want to get some outside pics once it gets sunny again
Status: on the car all done, they're just a lil darker than i was looking for.
