As per the title really.

I asked the local TVR garage to tint the rear cluster covers for me, so that I can acheive a look similar to this..:



...but they tried 3 times with little success - either it didn't "take", or it looked patchy & rubbish etc. Think there were a couple of problems - incorrect tint-paint type, concave nature of lenses etc

Has anyone done this - if so, can you give me any hints or tips to how to do it/what to use, so I can pass them on to get this done successfully next time?

Thanks,


Dom

The covers in the cerb pic have been tinted, as you can barely see the lights & reflectors through them.

I know they are all "slightly" tinted, but it's nothing compared to what's in the pic.

I think the eBay link above might be the way forward - they say they have tinted them with an isocyanate lacquer, will see what the experts think of that...
