How to tint or smoke clear corners

I got the lens off my clear corners and was wondering what i use to tint them with. I was thinking of going with R/C car window tint and using that. I just want some input on what otheres have done and used to do this. thanks

on a side note how do i get access to the smilies?

well if you dont mind redoing it every so often then do the rc car tint or night shades. That stuff fades and also goes on too dark imo.

I tint them using clear and mixing paint. I make them close to the UK lights but not exact obviously.

mike, i was under the impression that you painted the outside of the corner...is this right? after a little thinking it seemed it would be better to paint the inside of the lense, fill me in!

I do paint the outside. The inside may be better for wear but it is a lot worse in the long run. First it will be difficult to get them to stay sealed after you put them back together. Secondly the paint will be a little splotchy since there are ridges and angles that the paint (or tint spray) will rest in.

BTW I tried to return your email twice but it was returned to me as undeliverable. I am still not able to do email though because of Ivan. I have power and phone back but still dont have my cable internet back up.
