would it be possible to tint the tails but leave parts un tinted? for example tape off a portion to not be tinted and then include a supercharged sticker and spray tint over that then remove the tape and when u have lights on the untinted parts and supercharged part will light up? do you get wat im saying?

How do u think it would look?

ud have to try and see....i think it might look pretty good with a lit up "supercharged" part and the rest blacked out....especially at night!

just do the "supercharged" not the logo and if you make the shade dark enough it will show the word very nicely

just take off the supercharged logo when u put on the clear. it will look cleaner if u have a clear coat over the tint and the supercharged part.

I "striped" my tail lenses when i tinted them to make sure they would pass inspection here in VA...but you could easily do the same with yours. I think saving the "supercharged" part would look cool.

Heres a pic of mine...kinda hard to see the stripes but they are there.

yes i have done a few sets and myn are kind of dark but once you tap the breaks you can see right threw them, yes you can have a logo if depending on how much materials u use you will want to take the sticker off when wet but make sure you sand around your logos very very well because thats were you will have lifting issues

there's a guy that tints tails for us on our tbss site that uses tinted ppg clear,and he leaves the rev light (which is clear) not tinted.so doing a logo prob wouldnt be a big deal.ill ask him what he thinks about doin this. laugh
