Tinting Head/Tail lights

I've seen that some of you have tinted your head/tail lights...
What brand of spray did you use?
I saw this on ebay:

I thought I might give it a try.
Your thoughts?

There is a thread on here on that topic. I went to the hobby store and bought 3 cans of spray tint. First you have to remove tail lights. Then I wet sanded them with I think 1000 grit sandpaper to roughen the surface. Then spray until you achieve the right darkness. It will take several coats and you wait in between coats. Then you wetsand it with 1000 grit paper until smooth. Then clear coat. Then wet sand, then polish. Here is the result:


As far as I know, I am the only 6th gen Max owner to blacken the headlight chrome. I would highly advise NOT to tint the entire clear lense. For info on blackening the headlight chrome, check out my sticky in the How To section.
