subcribe to do this weekend this time better than my first time!

 

awesome right up

 

should i go darker?
is it okay to spray paint the niteshades OVER the clearcoat?

 

How much sanding needs to be done with 600 grit or is just to get it rough so the paint will adhere?

 

just finished mine, put 2 more coats on it and looks like a smoked black mirror, its sweet. just sand enough to get it rough thats all you need to do. its sticks pretty well

 

where can i find vht nightshade

 

has any one done this on a yellow car? i think it would look pretty sick

 

hey man thanks alot my light came out tight the pics made it alot easier for me thanks bro i'll put pics up soon

 

Just did this to my side markers, reverse lights & tail lights. Worked great!! The clear top coat really makes them shine after!

 

Excellent how-to. I just did mine today, and I have to say, they look great. (Not happy with how the reverse lights turned out, but that's my fault - they look fine from 2+ feet).

 

i'm too lazy to read all this... i'm from canada and i think canadian tire stoped carrying that tint paint... any idea where to buy it?

 

Ebay...

 

really... i was hoping to have this all done b4 the weekend...

 

recently i've checked out some of this tinting **** from a hobby store. not sure of the brand but it comes in a tiny can and its called "Window Tint Spray". Used it on three cars and its come out awesome on all of them. Havent had a problem after a month or so.

 

Colud I pay any of you guys to tint my lights? Preferably somebody who done this a few time Please send me pics of what you've done and a price. I'll pay for shipping to you but include the price for shipping them back in the price you qoute me. Zip 46802. Thanks! PM me If your interested.

 

Hey guys should 1 7 oz. can be enough to do all of the rear lights on my g5? Just wondering because im about to order a can or two.

 

I did all four of my taillights and my side markers with one can, and I still have more left.

 

I just did mine, the two brake lights and side markers turned out fine, but I fucked up the reverse lights by sanding them with 100 grit before painting instead of the 400 grit that I started with on the other lights.

My question is do I just sand all the paint off then get it reallly smooth then just paint again?

any help appericated

 

yea you really shouldnt have sanded them...with 100 grit ...it a 800-1500 grit papers and sand them down smooth

 

taggin this

 

I talk to some local cops about tinting my lights with out being pulled over they said if you take a flashlight to your taillights and if the red reflects they wont really care and wont pull you over even thou it still illegal. They said just don't drive on the interstate because they are real strict about tinted taillights.

 

how man coats of VHT should you use for a smoked looked 2-3 coats?

 

I think I did about 2 or 3 thin coats...at night mine look solid black (when they're not lit), and in the day you can see the red, but they do look black.

 

i just tinted mine and i love it

 

very nice write up. i will be doing this very soon.

and what store can you get VHT from? like autozone or soemthing?
