Default Request to tint/smoke my side marker lenses

Is there a member here who does this already for us with zero painting skills or if not can I request this service?

I have read about the spray tint process but I have been horrible at painting ever since I was a child with models. I just do not have the patience and skill for it and everything I paint looks like sh**

I would be more than willing to remove my markers and be without them for a week or so to have them done on a professional level.

I did read in the archives that someone did offer this service but that was years ago and like I said in the archives of all places.

Are you talking about the corner lights or the side markers under your mirror?

The marker lights - not the blinkers. The marker lights mark the corners of your car at night.

Got it... I thought you were talking about the side markers just below your side mirrors.

As for not wanting to do it yourself, that's completely understandable... I had my buddy show me how to spray right before I blacked-out my clear corners. However you also have the film option as well. And about a year ago, I found some already blacked-out on eBay so maybe someone else is selling them nowadays.

I doubt I would ever find the Turbo S front corners as they are smaller than the standard ones.

I thought tint film was how it was done until I searched here and saw niteshade spray was used. I would think the film wouldn't stand up to weather and rocks as good as a solid paint job would.
