   depends what finish you want and maybe what spray you get, mine are a matt look so if you wanted them shiny with the aprsy i bought you would need laqure to, ive heared you can get aprays that come out shiny anyways but i aint sure

   Tint spray is never enough for a decent finish I find without laquer aswell, there isnt enough in the tint spray to give a good gloss

   the side repeaters are only like £8 off ebay mate, could be a good back-up plan.
