Can anyone tell me what is the better method, tinting them or spraying them?

I tinted mine but it was a pain in the a$$! IF I had to do it all over again, I would paint them. much easier but more permanent. Just keep that in mind.

I definitely like the paint look, it looks cleaner IMO. I had mine painted for a show, now I am back to stock red.

i painted mine and love the way it came out, but if you tint them yourselves, you save ALOT of money and it still looks sexy..but i'm not too sure but i think CA is a bit more strict when it comes to tints, even on tails, i'm not sure though:

here's before and after for mine..if you do a search for LBC overlays, you'll find results of the tinting job.

Welcome Dorn!Please bookmark this page:http://forums.altimas.org/

There you will see all the different sections to look in, this would be in the "interior/exterior" area.

I sell tail overlays that are removable and are offered/shown here: zer...-here

Get'em tinted DORN7! its removable ANNNND if you double layer it-it looks waaaaay darker and better than opting for the PAINT which is not removable, obviously!

Check out my 2 layer 60% full coverage overlays @ Longbeachcoupe's thread!!

Def. go with the spray, its more money but its worth it. Make sure you know the guy is good at it too, I had someone do mine and they turned out like s*** but then I had them redone, and now the look good, but I wouldnt recommend doing the fronts, I have to get mine redone because I cant see anything at night. But they still look really good
