Light tinting

[XP02ED]

Hey guys im planning to tint my lights, wondering what the procedure is?

can i buy some sort of dye to put over it?

or do i open it up and spray then reclose?

[m3ntAL_l2]

[XP02ED]

yeh i was actually looking for it.. he sold some sort of dye wasn tit

[dsp26]

depends what kind of tint your after... theres the spray ons that come in just the black

and theres the film ones the trader was selling.

just a reminder that these are an easily noticable defect item....

supersheep use to sell it

was called "nightshades"

and it goes on the outside just lightly sand back with wet and dry make sure u mask up, and spray light coat by light coat
i dunno how it really works but a gues from tafe had it on his 180sex told me thats what he did, umm yea, should most likely
be a procedure on the can.

saw a commodore earlier on today with fully black lights looked dodgirama probly used black spray paint...

Hi, i used Night Shades on my tails (as per my Avatar - it used to be a chrome look). cost me $20 from Super Cheap. I wouldnt do the heads for obvious reasons (i've seen cars with tinted heads - just dont think its a good idea for night driving). If u want the heads tinted, then get a pair of headlight covers for your car and tint them instead so u can use it during the day and take it off at night.

by the way, each tail was around 3 coates. I probably wouldn't go more than 2 coates, if I could do it again. cars behind me seem to have a problem seeing my blinkers during the day, obviously since its tinted then the blinkers are not as bright. i was told u could get higher voltage bulbs to compensate.

just spray on top. make sure its really clean (i just used meth to clean). it hasnt faded, i've had it on for almost a year now. i dont know how to remove though. i had an extra pair of tails as my guinea pigs

make sure u use maskin tape on bits u dont want smoked, lay it on newspaper and spray from left to right or vice versa. i sprayed while the assembly was on its back to the ground so the tint doesnt drip down (as supposed to the tails being upright - does that make sense???). once done, dry using our good old sunlight.

oh yeh nice thanks dude.. hmm i guess i gta find out how to remove them ;D incase i dont like it
