And this is legal? Would 1 coat window tins spray give the same result?

Not to sure about the layer of tint spray as I have never used it.

As for legality have been pulled over quite a few times due to the look of the car and have never had any issues.

I cleaned the left side. It is clear as it was originally.

Should I left the indicator lens smoked? The plan is to smoke headlights very lightly again at some stage.

So I managed to get this done today. Also the grill is black now. Did not clean the rear lenses yet.

Where can I get Calypso Red nail varnish to touch up?

You should be able to get an autopaint shop to mix you up a bottle of touch up paint, probably your best bet...:coolShake:

While doing research on this I found the company Rust-Oleum makes these products. Rust-Oleum

At the local hardware store I found this.

It works well, but I have not used it on windows yet as I had my smash&grab 35% done the old fashioned way yesterday.

The tint spray gets pretty dark. Originally I used 2 or 3 coats on my lights and as you saw it was too dark. Now I only have 1 light coat.

Personally I'd want the smash and grab aspect of traditional tint. And the added safety of the glass not shattering in an accident.
