Question Tinting turn signals, help/opinion
So I'm about to tint my turn signals, should I go 20%, 5% or mirror tint?
Also, other than cleaning the surface really well there is no prep right (or should I sand, w like 1K or 2K grit)
-Thanks

I wouldnt go any darker than 20. I put 35 on mine and it made a huge difference. No sanding needed on the front signals.

I just bought some 20% and held it up to the over the signal to see how dark it was, and it was not very dark at all. Just like added a gray color to the orange.
