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

 

you should scuff the tail light period.....besides vht really screws light ommittence.

 

best thing to strip the lights with is?

 

spray the VHT on the light, good and thick, let it sit for a sec then scrub it with a towel, VHT removes itself

 

yeah not a clue when it comes to this kind of stuff, didnt know if regular thinner would eat at the plastic or anything...

 

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

 

thats some fine grit paper

 

oh whoops...suppose to be 800.

finest ive ever seen is 3000

 

Ive never seen any tails look good with VHT in person.Luckily my brothers a painter and smoked them with car paint.hope you get it all figured out though

 

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.

 

wet sand, redo

/thread

 

It comes off hella easy with gasoline hahahaha. that's what i used to take it off one time.

 

screws light ommitence like no other....theres ways to make it look good but the light ommitence when compared to black in clear wont be close. less is more sometimes.

 

well thats true^ my lights are visible at legal distance lol, and they looks good and only cost me 15 bucks so w/e haha! I might get them prof. done when I have money to burn lol.
