Title: Tinting spray?
Post by: Sarah on September 11, 2011, 06:58:55 pm: What are you guys using to tint your indicator lenses/lights? I want to tint my fogs instead of using lamin-x as it has been on for a few years and is starting to crack/peel so think I'd like to try a tint.

Other members have used it successfully but you will probably need a can of lacquer to add the 'gloss' factor to the finish.

HTH, Lee.
