Why? Illegal and looks stupid anyway. If you really must have it, just get a can of spray tint and then put clearcoat on the top (because the tint paint is matte)

there is a can you buy call niteshades or something like that. That's what is used to tint the lights. I wouldn't do to many coats on a commo, no more than 2. I would just change the tails to either VZ SS lights or VZ Calais lights.

The idea is to spray the Niteshades spray tint on the inside of the tail light lenses...

Yeah, I had mixed results with it years ago with my old car.

The tail lights turned out pretty good but then I decided to tint the front parkers. It made the light shining through go red - big cop magnet. I soon got new parker lenses after being pulled over a couple of times...

Illegal and dangerous. Tinting reduces the visible light to vehicles travelling behind. Don't do it.
