Default TAIL LIGHT TINT?

i been wanting to tint my tail light and my cousin (how lives next door to me) has just did his on his nissan. he had bought a can of VHT nightshade and he said that he had tried everwhere in maryland and they dont sell it. but he had gave me what he had left but the assnugget only left me like two fukin sprays in it so i want to know if anyone know if they sell it in maryland. plus i also heard that you can use "tint paint" for the lexan bodies for the remote control cars and people have said it works well. but how would that do with the sun and the roadware. because i would just order it but i am always workin and i have the next 2 days off and i want to do it tomorrow. but here is a pic of the VHT just incase someone has seen it in any marland stores.i just want it done

Why not use something more easily removable like lamin-x?

I mean what did you use to paint them? I like the look of the tint on the lamin-x site and have an extra set of tails since I was planning on doing this myself.
