Default tinted my 3rd brake light

painted my 3rd brake light with some model car window tint in a can....honestly i didnt take my time and didnt care how it turned out because if it was messed up then i was just going to buy a new one but for the amount of work i put into it....wiping it down with alky and spraying it with paint, zero prepwork....it came out rather well...if i had sanded then it would of came out 10000 times better but no sand paper to be found and i was bout 5 beers into a 30 rack....so i couldnt go out to the store to get sand paper..but heres the results

Looks good the other day I was washing my truck and when I was doing the roof I noitced that the top part of the 3rd brake light had faded away. I also used modle car tint spray paint about 2 or 3 months ago so I guess I will do them again!
