Nite Shades Tint or Tint Film?

[nikkitty]

I've had my Altima tail lights tinted very dark a few months ago using Nite Shades.. came out a little drippy in some parts but I got a ticket for them anyways so I was gonna take it off and possibly redo it.. I wasn't sure if I should use the spray tint again or opt for using a sheet of tint... any recommendations on what would be a better choice?


...And any hints on what I should use to take off my tint? I didn't sand them at all and did about 3 layers of nite shade and two layers of clearcoat on top.

I remember I did tint with the spray the first time on my previous car and it came out sloppy. So try much thinner layers and more of them. Between each layer put them on heat. If u have a heat gun or space heater. I did mine like this on my altima and they came out real nice

I'd go with vinyl overlays. Much easier to deal with and if you get a ticket you can easily peal them off.

I heard brake fluid will take off spray tint with some work. But also if you do this take off your tail lights because it will ruin your paint. I haven't personally done this. It's just from some reading I have done.
