remove the back bumper
remove the taillights
clean them up real good
spray them to the desired tint that you want
let it dry and then clear coat them if you want them to be shiny
re install taillights
re install bumper
TAKE PICTURES SO WE ALL CAN SEE simple as that.

kk thanks man oh and what exactly do i use for a clear coat is there something else i need to buy im confused

you can get clear coat in a rattle can..

My buddy is tinting his tails and he is mixing clear coat, 5 parts clear to one part black for a light tint.
We do alot of painting so we use hvlp guns, my buddy just bought an iwata. and chroma clear from du pont. not cheap by any means but very good quality.
