I don't know if there is guide, one of the mk3 boys might be able to help you but yes you can buy rear tint spray in many colours... You have to be careful though as that stuff can affect the output considerably, wrong coloured indicators and reverse lights for a start... Plenty of choices of spray on eBay.

It can be, like i said, you just have to be careful, worst thing people do is not prep the lens and then just spray a sh*t load on... you just have to do very light coats...  There is high quality film available instead of spray. Try http://www.lamin-x.co.uk/shop/red.htm or contact lazylunatic who is on this site as he might be able to sort you out.

Spray tint is ok but not brilliant, I wouldn't use it again  :undecided:

As suggested above check out Lamin-x or send LazyLunatic a PM, i've used both before and would recommend them.

The other better alternative is to use a flyeye tint, as this lets lights through properly. LazyLunatic sells black stuff, i'd drop him a PM and see if he'll do red  :smiley:
