went to pep boys yesterday got night shade for my tail lights. the guy told me i could use it for my emblem but it seems to be specifically for glassy things. What should I buy to black the embles out?

 

vinyl

 

black paint

 

maybe if you sand them a little first?

 

So I should be spray painting them? MY friend did the same thing to his car about 4 coats.

 

They had nivhtshades at pepboys?! How much?

 

 

Nightshades , happy now

 

no, not really

 

wat pepboys has nightshade? How i called them and they didnt know what i was tlking bout!

 

Yes dont use VHT!!

Here is 8 coats of black and 10 coats of clear (spray paint):

 

Sure sign of a car nut - you now have a better paint job on your emblem than Chevy put on the rest of the car

 

Yes but chevy didnt use spray paint

 

What, you think they rolled it on?

Judging from some of the stuff they built in the 80's, maybe they did?





Ya, I know, not rattle cans....at least I don't think they used rattle cans

 

You used 8coats of black? I used 2coats of Duplicolor Black and 1 coat of Clear =\

 

lmao

 

Haha I got this stuff at home depot because I wasn't sure my friend told me to get plastidip. I got this other stuff said it works for plastic, metal, wood, and a lot more. I used the nightshade on my tailight and side markers. Going to do the reverse lights today. btw wjone that was done perfect thats exactly what i want. 10 coats...wow. I used like 4 on my tail lights but then again I didn't want to me a cop magnet and have to get new tail lights =]

 

^ liljone was talking about his front Chevy emblem...8 coats of paint and 10 coats of clear.

I'm going to call a few stores around here and see if they can order it. In MN, I haven't found anybody that carries Nite-Shades, but someone on a Focus forum said O'Reilly can order it and if I can save shipping, I will. Also, I picked up a second set of tail lights to do and I'll keep my stockers as well so if I do get in any trouble, I can just switch back. But I'm only doing 2-3 coats at most.

 

They had it at pep boys. It was 12.99+ tax.

 

yea, I used the how-to guide on here and that how many coats it said to use.

thx..that why I smoked my taillights with 5 coats with VHT. Never been pulled over for them.


LS exhaust ftl.

 

wtf...you live where...the pepboys by my house has nothing at all...they would never carry that

 

Looks like you need to wet sand them to get out all those imperfections that I see and more CLEAR coats, then you'd be set.

 

high performance vinyl very strechy and comforming great 2 work wit with just a low heat blow-dryer used it on my head lights for eyelids a little paitence no creaces or bubles but pretty expensive

 

I concur with the lil chap. wet sand and then polish. They look dull

And where the hell are my pics!!!! :Fuckingfacepalm: LOL
