I used a can of cheap £6 tint spray, clean the light, spray it with really light coats of even coverage building it up one coat at a time untill your happy with the finish/darkness level, then let it dry a few days to really harden then polish up. Have a look at my thread where I did the bottoms of mine, no one believes Iv sprayed them when they see them in person.

Sprayed mine, look great Steve. Not everyone wraps the shit out of stuff.

I used e-tech tint spray and then lacquer. If you don't lacquer, they'll fade quite quickly.

I just used standard halfords lacquer. Seemed to do the job. Been about 18 months since I tinted them and they're still nice and Red.

Machine polished mine, didn't laquer because it looks awful when it starts to peel
