If you tint it with your factory color paint, will it come out the exact color or lighter/darker?

Hey man, I actually sprayed a topper for my truck, and my truck is a unique tan, so I took off the gas cap and took it to Home Depot to get a color match and small tub of paint. Not the best place to go I've heard, but it definitely worked, just make sure it is not water-based paint. Also, when spraying it will come out lighter usually, so just make sure to use enough color when you mix the hardener and color. If you don't use enough color then it will be lighter, I noticed that after I sprayed it all on, which isn't too terrible, I think if I wanted to bad enough I could just spray over it and keep the texture. So bottom line, just make sure to use enough color when you mix it, don't overdo it, but better to have more of the exact color because the chance of being too dark is impossible if it's a color match.

The color will be close, it does not show metal flake. I did a metal flake and a solid color, the solid color came out right on the metal flake seemed off. The trick is mixing in enough hardener and color because you run out of room in the bottle. The more color the better it looks but make sure you put enough hardener in because it effects the texture and it will go farther( acts as a thinner)

Yes, it has a dark tint but it is transparent. It will be a nice addition to your C6 corvette.

It looks tinted but doesn't go on as tinted at all - it disappears. I promise!

Bring it to any paint store that carries Rust-Oleum, such as Home Depot. That's where I took it. You pick one of the the 'light' color, and they should be able to tint it for a very small fee, if not free. Good luck.

Yes, the tint is about the same as factory window tint. I like mine very much.

With this emitter type you could get a green tint . I bought two, one is more green than the other so it seems to be the luck of the draw . Could try to exchange but there's no guarantee it will be better or worse. that's the bad part of online shopping you can't compare before you buy

The glass usually has a blue or gold tint to it. The best way would be to call a local dealer with your vin number to see if it came that way from the factory. This glass is for standard mirrors not towing type mirrors. Thanks

No there is not blueish tint to it while its illumined, you will only get those "blue lights" with HIDs. Its just a brigter than stock bulb. Worked well on my Harley. You can really tell a difference in the light output between my stock bulb and this one at night.

Yes! You have to have the paint "tinted" at the store. I got mine at Lowe's and they tinted it before I left the store.

It makes the wood grain show through the paint. A lot of people said they didn't use it with dark tint but we did and are happy with result.

Roll it out on the hood or another flat surface and use the tip of a razor knife to separate a corner of the tint..should give you a good starting point..

The way I did it was I placed the order and after I received the order confirmation I contacted them via email with my vehicle year, make, model and the tint. Hope this helps!

Mine has a slightly plum/grey tint on the back, but the front is clear, rear top is frosted white.

I used a darker shade so I am not sure what the outcome will be in your case. However, the W for the warmers tones usually gives a reddish tone.

No this works better as a translucent lens tint and would appear runny and will cause the emblem to have an acid washed effect with a blue overtone and in my opinion would look horrible. Try something like a Gunmetal spray paint for better results. Just ensure proper prepping.

Hmmm, you may have some issues with it being darker if tinted windows but overall should work.

The scratches and scuffs on mine are pretty dark, due to the Grey undercoat I presume. So I would say no, it doesn't make scratches go away entirely. This is of course with the blue shell that I have. I would imagine the scratches would more prominent with lighter, brighter colors like orange. But my scratches don't seem popout that much with the blue.
