I am planning to put say 50% tint the lightest one on my rear brake lights, I have 4th gen maxima. So the question is how it should be done? so tint will be able to survive carwash, bad weather and so on, stay there for long time.

What kind of liquit we should use? All kind of advices will be appreciated.

Thanks!

I've never heard of tint being applied on the outside of a surface. How can it survive the weather?

the spray tint is called Night shades and you can get it at any speed shop for like 8 bucks. Please note that once put on , it is impossible to remove.

I Night Shaded my 90 Camry over a year ago and the paint has held up well even though I had to set sand it to get the layers even. You're only suppoesd to put no more then 2 layers, but I put like 5 and they got DARK! Im debating whether or not to do it to the Maxima however...

These guys used to have removeable smoked tint spray but it's not listed anymore. You might want to check with them.

He's talking about his brake lights, not his windows.

And tinting your brake lights is just plain asking for trouble. Not from the cops, but from other drivers. I wish I had brighter taillights ... but that's just little sensible me.
