Just wanted to see if you would notice its photoshoped lol.
I ordered my vht tint spray<lighter than nightshades> It should look something like this or darker, thats what im going for, something original

I might tint the headlights and front blinkers, should look good with my 5% tint when I get it changed this week.

If you still have the option don;t buy the VHT light tint ( night shades )stuff ( actually all there products suck )
A company called folia tech makes amazing tint spray which goes on thin which is the best way to go when doing it.
I used the vht before stuff and it leaves streaks and has to be clear coated otherwise it fades and washes off.
Nothing beats folia techs auto paints .

lowes, homedepot, any place like this should carry a generic High Gloss clearcoat. look in the spray paint section. its just a taillight so u dont need high temp or anything like that.

I would go to a auto parts store and buy a dupli colour clear coat made for automotive applications.
Many other clears have cleaners built in, so when you spray it the base coat tint will run and be destroyed.
