is cheap and will ruin your light output. ask me how i know.

 

1500 grit wetsand paper. alcohol to clean the lights with. LIGHT COATS! go considerably darker than you want them to look because to get this gloss ur gonna want to buff them at least 3-5 times. let them dry for at least 2 hours before buffing. 24 hours to be safe.

notice the shine on mine vs the shine on the others. this is the difference between light coats and heavy coats.

 

mine shined too. but light output was too dark for me.

 

mine are just dark enough to show no red, but the light output is better than stock because it goes from looking black to shining red for daytime stopping. love it. took quite a bit of buffing to get them to this point though i will say.

 

thanks guys, your ss are looking great by the way!
ill try to do that as soon as possible.

thanks again!

 

Nah, I don't think anyone on here has tinted their tails.

 

I've driven by yours often enough to know that you did too many coats on yours ! Yours were like jet black I did two-ish coats and it looks smoked instead of black.

 

yeah i know haha. i did 3 coats maybe a tiny bit more. but i have smoked leds now and i like them.

 

poser
