not a fan of the flat black look. It looks cheesy. Amateur night.

I really didn't use just black spray paint! Its real tint spray lol. But oh well, sorry you don't like them. But I love them

Also, I sanded off a small thin layer of the lights before spraying, therefore causing them to have that look. It would have been shiny if I didn't sand them a bit.

I know you used tint.. tint is still in a spray can right? I guess I can say you "spraytinted" them then, same difference. You can tell you did it though. I'd take some polishing compound to them. The fact that you sanded the lights before you painted shouldn't have made much difference.

You can always redo the tinting if you get tired of them.. just take some 100% acetone nailpolish remover and put it on a rag to swipe that tint off. It doesn't have any effect on the plastic itself. The possibilities are endless

Peace!
