JacktheButtSniffer is Wrong!!!
hey knucklehead!! i seem to remember you saying spray on taillight tint was junk, and came off in the thread below which can be found at link below.

well just an FYI...it's rained 7 of the last 9 days since I tinted the taillights, and I finally got to wash my car today, and my spray on tint didn't come off!!!!!
nah nah nah nah nah!!! you just suck at applying spray on taillight tint! VHT Nightshades FTW
here's pics taken when they were installed, and some pics taken today of car after I washed it by hand, with soap and water!

Absolutly that spray on **** is just that. ****.
The stuff is worthless. Now, my experience was just with the single brand sold by AMERICANMUSCLE.COM, and that stuff is pure garbage.
As for not doing it right...? Yeah.
I took off both tail lights, brought them inside, cleaned them with 409, then cleaned them again with windex and just to be save wiped them down with achohol. Waited 20 min to make sure they were 100% dry.
Applied the worthless junk in steady even side to side motions (yes i know how to paint, im an airbrush artist) and got a very nice uniform distribution.
I put them in a spare room where they sat for 2 days before i put them back on.
First impression was that they looked fantastic. Nice, Glossy, very even distribution, and i even put some friskit film over the reverse lights to keep them from being tinted, all in all looked damn good.
Did not drive the car for several more days, (was crappy weather) and finally took it out of the garage and drove it to and from work a few times, it started to get a bit dirty so i washed my car in the same normal careful manor i normally do.
Washed it up and when i got home i noticed the left tail light looked darker than the right? WTF? i had them DEAD ON. How did this one get lighter? And WHY do they have the texture of felt? where is the glossy shine? Are they still dirty???
So i grab some detailer mist, spray a small area and wipe with a microfiber towell. Low and behold, the towel had tint on it and there was a lighter area where i wiped it. As time went buy the texture got even worse, and the tail lights were ruined.
Bought a new set off ebay several months later and installed some AUTOBADGES 50% blackout tint.
Anyone who suggests i did not properly prep the area can go ahead and forget about that. Anyone who said i was in a hurry need not think so. Anyone who says i did not properly apply that stuff can kiss my ***. And there is ZERO mention of using any type of CLEAR COAT... they shouldnt NEED a clear for this junk either.
I cannot speak for ALL BRANDS, but after ruining my tail lights you bet your *** i will never drop another penny on bullshit spray on tint.
RIGHT WAY = dropping 60 bucks on quality tinting from Autobadges.com Durable, quality, and worth every penny.
CHEAP WAY = shitty american muscle tint spray.
As for saying that "Tinting strips" are the cheap way, last i checked using 3M tinting sheets is the standard in window tinting.
I dont think i have EVER heared of somebody having thier car windows tinted with spray on crap.
I wish i had AFTER pics of the tint, but at first effort it DID look real nice.... untill i washed my car.
EDIT: As much as i despise the company AmericanMuscle.com, i have to say after i told them the result of the spray on stuff they DID refund my money in a very timely manor.
This is RIGHT after i installed the lights.

Sanding doesn't matter man. I used VHT on my previous car and just sprayed it on. No sanding, clear coats, nothing. Just cleaned the tails, sprayed an let dry. It didn't wash off. Obviously the VHT is a better product than what AM sells. It's not that you applied it better.
