A warning to anyone using the VHT red shade:
Whatever you do, make sure that no brake cleaner hits the painted surface. It will screw everything up. I was cleaning new rotors and a drop of brake cleaner fell on the lense, some of the tint came off. Had to redo them all over and had to do both because one looked darker than the other. I'm guessing clear coat takes care of that but it took me all day redoing them and trying to make them look good again.

This could also apply to things like goof off, gasoline or any alcohol based liquids.

Ps. Also they've been painted for almost 6 months now.
