Let the bitch dry for about 1/2 hour. DONE! Wow you made something really simple really difficult. We do this **** everyday. Here's a hint...when you do it this way it doesn't turn out dull like I see yours did on the passenger side light.

I almost went with a hornet on my brake lights. Decided against it, and stuck with some nice almost pure black brake lights. Very much like what Beck did. I'll have pics up in a few days (once we don't have anymore cold rainy days in MO!).

I was out of tint (a friend of mine used it before I did, so it was empty) so I started to ask myself what could I do instead and I got an Idea.
I had one of my club's sponsor cut 4 Bio Hasard logos in vinyl and I stuck them on the lights, then I used Flat Black paint, 3 thin coats, I peeled off the vinyl and then shot 3 coats of clear, the end result is pretty neet
the 3rd coat of clear is still drying right now, I'll get pics when they're on the car tomorrow, there's a big car show in my hometown
