Got a friend that is building an all black "showcar" and i'm tinting his lights for him. I never tint them too dark, but the last set of taillights were a little dark (told him to use some led bulbs lol). The taillights are no big deal, but now he wants the headlights (it's an 87 cutlass with the plastic composite lights) given a very slight tint just to knock the brightness off and make it kinda blend in with the rest of the car. When I've done it in the past, the clear lenses take on a brownish tint. Will SPI black basecoat (being a true black) give me the look i'm after? I usually take some intercoat clear and add a drop or 2 of base and then use multiple coats to get the desired shade, then clear.
