   Hiya,
   
   I'm looking at either just some jewels and tint the bottom half red for the "euro" look, but quite interested in doing it to some smoked ones for a different look.
   
   Does anyone know if the tint will really do anything? I dont want to buy some only to find it cant be done!

   think you'd have to use a red film rather than spray em tbh

   Spray works fine on clear jewels, but dont use it on smoked jewels it just comes up a horrible brown colour, you could try red film as baz said but it might come up brown as well :/

   That was my fear. So tint the bottom half of some clear jewels red and the top half dark!
   
   By dark I mean light smoke, I dont want them black lol.
