I just had my taillights sprayed So I could add a tint to them. After they dried I noticed that the finish was very dull and not shiny. What can I do to make the tail lights shiny to match my cars shiny film that is on paint? Should I have painted the tail lights same as the car or can I fix this?

buff it out and clear coat. There is a few DIY available in the DIY section that details the proper steps for this.

Thank you for that but all I wanna know Is that after I had these lights sprayed for about a month when I bring them back into the body shop do they have to get re sprayed before applying the clear cost film or what? I just wanna know how to get them shiny after spraying them. They just seem so dull

I would have them sprayed again prior to clear coating.

just one coat of tint spray before applying clear coat or a couple?

do you know what the clear coat is called as well? because i know the body shop that did it does not carry it because they had to go out and buy the tint spray in the first place? whats a good brand name clear coat spray?

Not sure what would show up best on your lights. I probably would consult a paint, or collision shop. They may have some suggestions.
