Default Tinting taillights ?

Hey guys, anyone know a good, tint shop or person who can do taillight tinting? I just wanted to do like a 50% on it. I talked to my guy who does tints and he said that they don't use the tint film because its hard to manipulate and will show creases, he said they usually just paint it. I was kind of weary on painting them, does anyone know if you can use tint film and in so cali where can it be done? Thanks !

no one will usually tint them, hence the painting, mine are painted and the guy who painted mine said they can put them back to normal by sanding them then polishing them

Chris you've seen mine right? If you need them done hit me up. They did a good job (no splatter or anything. )

I've done spray tint on a couple cars.. it sucks cause sometimes the tails don't match perfectly so I would recommend doing the vinyl. I did some vinyl on fogs recently and they will come out really well if you manipulate it enough with a blow dryer
