    Default taillight tints & misc painting

    hey guys, i actually need help with 2 things... taillight tinting and painting for "eyelids"

    i was curious of any places in gwinnett county area or nearby...

    as far as my tint guy, he doesn't... i got a price quote for $150 from one guy and another for $60, the $60 is just for him to spray tint, which i obviously can buy and do myself for $20...

    the problem is, i dont want the spray on type of tint thats permanent

    as far as the painting, worse comes to worse and i do it myself.. i just rather have a professional look

    if you guys know of any places and prices, that would be great..

    thanks in advance!

    just do it yourself dude, i did mines all red, either take the them out or tape off the area rear good, this is simple, im get pissed when you take your car to someone and you think it's going to be difficult but what they end up doing is so easy you could have done it and they still have the nerves to charge you a bunch of money, that's why when i help somone with their car and it was super easy i dont charge them anything, but if it's something critical or hard, always consult a professional, and dont tell me you going with that black tint on the tails that everyone and their mother are doing, that's getting so played out that it's a relief to see stock tails now, i did mines all red and look pretty stock, that's what i like about it

    If money is tight, then modifying your car should be the least of your priorities. Holding on to every penny you have would be your best bet until you actually CAN afford to do something. Never know when a rainy day presents itself and you're left without an umbrella. Later, QD.

    yeah, very well said! ... i saw on some other forums for $20 of paint, primer, and clear coat that you can do some pretty good stuff

    so considering that i would have to spend $50-150 at some local shop for this, i may just attempt the $20 invest and see how that goes
