Ha o my bad. One time when i was pulling a trailer with a mud truck thru a field of mud it bottomed out and I got stuck so my buddy wrapped a strap around one tow hook and my other buddy put one on the other hook. Well the one kid basically tied a knot on one hook so we were in a hurry to dip cuz we were not supposed to be where we were and we took the hook off and I never got my hook back since then and that was like a year ago lol

ohhhhhh I gotcha. ok ideas....tint the red, not the reverse light. and dont forget the 3rd tail. headlights....i wouldnt tint them or the fogs..(if you look at mine they all match, like same style) and tinting them means less light. tint the tails and maybe look into some cheap corners to atleast get rid of that orange. I know the bulb inside is orange so you wouldnt need to go buy another bulb.

What about just tinting the whole tail and get small fogs on a switch for reverse lights cuz the lights now suck *** with the 5% tint def not bright enough. Unless u think itd look better leaving the clear there. 3rd brake light def gettin tinted too. Yea I prolly won't end up doin the heads or fogs. Think that one can u got would do 3 coats on the tails and 3rd brake light?

ya I would leave the clear there, I think it looks good and somewhat useful. dont tint the tails too much, otherwise cars wont be able to see you at night. and it dont take much paint to make it look good.

I should think so. If you did a nice even coat it will be perfect. Ive done a lot of spray painting in my life so far, and the 3rd tail aint that much surface and i had very little overspray.
