Tinted tail chipped
Like it says, i must not have prepped a certain spot correctly but i tinted the tails myself with VHT, and a small area raised up and flaked off. Need to know how to fix this without having edges in the paint..

Sounds like they are lifting....probablly had some sort of silicone on it and weren't wiped with a silicone remover nd tacked off before applying paint. Could also be you put it on too heavy.....vht is junk and looks like crap in my opinion so it could be the product itself.

VHT looks good as long as its clrear coated and buffed.
if its lifted, strip the whole light and start over, be sure to de grease and mabey scuff the tail a little

will eat the plastic. sand it off with 1000. if you sprayed a lot start with 600 until you burn through to the light then 800 then 1000

I'll take a picture of mine once I get the car back into spring mode, all waxed and shiny, the nightshades can look good if its done right, but 99% of the people just slap it on, dont sand or clear coat and it just looks like a flat ghetto job.
