[color=#000000:post_uid1]Hey Mike;
I'm not sure if using tinting film would be a good idea as it'll peel off or come off later on.

Best way is to spray black tint onto the indicators and then spray a coat of clear on top to get that glossy/shinny look on them. The previous owner of my astina got her panel beater to do it to her side indicators and rear lights. :)[/color:post_uid1]

[color=#FF0000:post_uid0]No, use film. Film can peel off when u want it. Its illegal to tint it, so if they wanna defect u, u just peel it off. :;):[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000080:post_uid0]another option......
for the taillights, use women's stockings.
they have all sorts of colours and finishes.
unscrew the taillights (all three of them), pick your fave colour of the day, and "wear" the stocking to the lights, fold the ends and screw them back onto the car.
when you get pulled over by the cops, rip them out in front of them, no troubles. you can change any colours you want.
in my earily earily days, i have used flat black, shinny black, flat white and shinny white stocking for my taillights.
i suppose you can use the same principle for the side indicators. i would not recommed the headlights thought, unless it is used for show display purposes.[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#000000:post_uid1]It depends how dark the tint is for it to be defective I think. Hey Eric, have you got any pics that you can post up of your tail lights with stockings covering them? I've heard of that being done a while back, but haven't seen it in person yet so would be intereted to see what it looks like! :)

[color=#000000:post_uid0]Hey,

Seeing as this topic is "tinting film" the tint on the back window of my car is slowly but surely starting to bubble. Is it possible for me or someone else to remove it and re-tint the window??
It looks crap when you're looking in the rear view mirror.......

Cheers

[color=#000000:post_uid0]you'll find the link in here (http://www.astinagt.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=401) :)

and i'd get a professional to do it - those rear demister wires are reasonably delicate and you wouldn't want to damage them[/color:post_uid0]

[color=#3A6EA5:post_uid0]and at $50 buck for the smallest bottle of the demister paint and the time to repaint thost wires...get warranty...I went to tint-a-car for mine. They have a good range and the one in Mitcham (vic) gave me a good low down on all the products with no pressures. It's all a matter of personal preference, just like wheels spoilers and body kits.[/color:post_uid0]
