The best stuff to tint your lights is avalible at any hobby store. Go in and tell the person working you want to tint the window on you rc car. They will give you a litle tiny can and it costs 6.00. It will be enough for plenty of lights; a 1/4 can painted all the lights on my friends 328 BMW. It gives the best results and is the easiest to reverse should you need to. I have used both this product and nightshades. Lets just say I will never use nightshades again.

i went to my local hobby stor (HobbyTown USA), and bought "transparent black, window tint", that exactly what it says on the top, and its one of those small model car spray cans. at first it looks wayyy too black but it's not to dark after it completely dries... MAKE SURE YOU CLEAR COAT...it WILL flake if not clear coated
