Default Tinting Tails

Hey guys, I just ordered tint for my girls 335i, has anyone put it on themselves in here or do you guys take them to shops to do. I called a few tint places and they wont do it. Just wanted to know if it was a simple job to do by yourself or not. Thanks in advance.

what did you order? did you order pre-cut tint for the lenses?

ive always seen people use niteshade when tinting tails. its a spray on tint that looks really good. obviously the number of coats you do will make the tint darker. once your done, hit it will a coat of clear and it looks clean

I just had my done this past week.....and the way to do it is to put a clear base coat and then mix dark paint with it just like how you do with your car paint.

if u order pre-cut one, it's pretty easy to do it
but i'll recommend u to seek help from prof anyway
i'm sure u can do it urself, but i'm very sure u'll mess up at least 1 kit for practicing.
so, either u go to professional, or u order extra kit in case u screw it up
