Spray is crap and leaves a dull finish, the wrap leaves a satin finish what looks better on lights

I've done it on taillights years ago. Looks awful and hard to remove. Don't do it. Buy laminx or similar. Easy to apply with a hairdryer.

Here an example of the film.

Left/boot lid light is wrapped
Right/wing light is not.

This is the lightest tint. You can get darker if needed but I think this is enough

The all tinted.

RE: Spray on tint

Went out today with the intention of using tint film I had but didn't have enough for pair of rear lights so I have the spray a go on a spare set of corners I had lying around,, what ye make of this? After 3 sprays and a bit of a clean.
[hr]
To be honest I wouldn't be a fan of the spray either, looks okay but when I keep looking at it it just seems to be so dead and dull.

@[mackers] that's exactly what I want for my e36 rear lights. Where can I get this exactly? Also: that's is an amazing touring, nicest I've ever seen!

Thanks Chris.

I got the tint in car wrap direct, think it was €12 or something.

I'm actually going to be replacing the wing light with half and half to match the boot lid lights so will be redoing them soon enough.
