Headlight + Taillight Smoke

I just took my car to a local tint shop by my house, and they smoked the headlights and taillights, i will put up better pics tomorrow but this is what i got.
i specifically like what they did with the headlights, they look super sick.
and next week i gotta take my car back so they can sand down my taillights.

Image 1: Headlight - notice it kinda matches the car? not so shint silver
Image 2: Taillights
Image 3: Single shot taillight

For the tails i believe they used paint.
for the headlight i think they used a really light overlays.

$120 per pair (2 headlights, 2 tail lights), pricey, but clean.

Let me know if you want to get it done, i'll let them know you're coming, they might be able to hook u up with a cheaper price, iv taken all my families cars etc.. my own etc.. friends etc... to get their stuff tinted n what not, so they r usually pretty good about it.

it looks like theyres too much orange peel on the tails.... that could have been taken care of before the spray tint was applied. For such a small area, they should have prepped it very well, and a good wet sand would have worked out great, final coat, then 2 coats of clear (light wetsanding between the 2 coats
