That's funny... My buddy asked me the same thing... I have done alot of painting and I can tape really quick. Also, I left my tools at home and the only tools my parents have are in the back of my dads truck. Thanks for the info.

also when you do spray tint you want to do it in very light layers to prevent cracking drips or anything else...

Hedlights even in light layers as lynchfourtwenty (he was there) with alot of the plastic headlights, will still crack. I did everything and sanded for hours, no matter what i did 2 diff sets still showed cracks. Finally just sanded and clear coated them to look good.

This is always a fun task...

FYI an easy way to take off tint, spray the window with windex(or any amonia based window cleaner), then cover the window with a plastic bag(black if you can) leave it in the heat for a little and the tint should come off pretty easy....

Have fun...haha

Corners like this have been done time and time again with poor results.
