ive done it before, get the tint paint, do light coats, and do as many as you like till you get the desired tint. You can take them off or keep them on the car. If you keep them on the car, make sure to mask the back window, the bumper, trunk, and just about everything up to the first little piece of glass on the rear doors.
Oh and also try to do it in a garage or somewhere where there is little to no wind.

LIGHT COATS if you keep them on the car, or else it will drip!

take out the bolts and pull 'em out of the car.

use VHT niteshades to tint them.

expect unwanted attention from local police departments.
