anyone tint their side markers??

does anyone here have their sidemarkers tinted? i have a black 2k3 max.. with clear side markers.. but i'm trying to see how it would look if i tinted the side markers a little bit... so that it blends in with the car a little... i already have the tint spray that i plan on using... just wanna get a general idea of how it looks before i mess up my clears.... thanks

I originally planned on tinting my sidemarkers, but it didn't come out how I thought it would. When I sprayed the tint on, it built up on the edges and had hardly any on the middle. I ended up just spraying the tint on the markers until they were black and ended up with this...

That's another thing. Hyperwhite bulbs shine through purple, so I just took the bulbs out of all the sidemarkers. I used the Testor's window tint spray.

If you plan on keeping bulbs in it and tinting the markers, you should get red and orange bulbs...
