PM Deven (Devs93). He's done some that look good. And yes, it's sprayed on. Much better looking than the cheap-o tint.

Ive tinted mine with stuff from a rattle can. Ive used two different brands before, VHT and Rustoleum. I like rustoleum better personally, it seems to have a satin finish to it and VHT appears to be more of a flat black color. Its pretty simple and straight forward to do though.
Take the housing off the truck, and clean really well. Then hit it with tint. You can lightly wet sand it, and apply some clear for a more finished look. I always mask off the white reverse light portion, i think it looks better.
Also, use light coats! The tint gets dark really quick if you dont pay attention to how much your spray

if your able to get a paint gun and clear and a bit of black paint. maybe a ounce of both if that. mix about a ounce of clear and maybe 5-6 drops of black in your clear mix that all up and set your gun up and watch your pattern and tint them to as dark as you want.

Did mine with VHT to clean up the look a bit. I will definitely be "ordering" a set from devs soon, though.
