Heres my worki dont know why people say vht sucks...with the right prep work and time you can get nearly the same results as clear and black for wayyy cheaper...i havent even gave the clear coat a good polish yet and they look good already...
Perfect darkness
Right side
Left side
lights on (not brake lights) in broad day light still real visible for how dark they appear off
night shots
on
braking
reverse

damn that looks good dude
nice job!
04-30-2009
very nice.. the more i see it the more im tempted to do it
my tails have bubbling and are fading a bit and what not... would the VHT hide all of that???
04-30-2009
^sand them down w/ a fine grit paper before u spray!
i'm gonna do this. not that dark tho!
04-30-2009
They hide the bubbles the darker you go
04-30-2009
i dont want too dark haha
04-30-2009
it looks good... i did mine wit black and clear, only i wish they came out that dark...
04-30-2009
Ive only used VHT to get the tires to stick to the concrete.
I am letting FLIP do mine, getting honeycomb tints for my 07

alright i just posted in the rant forum about my experience with vht. question... i bought a can of clear but when i sprayed the clear it made the vht turn white and foggy looking? did i get the wrong clear or what?
04-30-2009
if you used dupli color acrylic enamel clear...i used this in the past it turns foggy white when sprayed on but when it dries it dries clear....bake em in the over for 5 min on 200F and that fogginess should go away..Originally Posted by pontiacgp759

Most likely you didnt let the paint cure long enough and they mixed. I let my lights dry over nite before applying the clear, then waited again over nite for the clear to dry before buffing.
04-30-2009
VHT was fully cured?
04-30-2009
not fully cured. the back of the dupli color clear said use within one hour of spraying color. if i did it yesterday, can i clear them today or is it too late? i still will do what you're doin whitedevil and send them off. but temporarily ill just stick with my vht

You can clear them at any time after the coating has dried.
I usually let things dry overnight then check them after about 12 hours to be sure that nothing aggitates it. It helps to do a light wetsand between coats too , keeps things smooth and professional looking.

damn that looks pretty good.
do you have any left in the can? i bought some tinted tails and just one taillight needs one coat of it. i can paypal you even if its 1/4 can left. let me know
04-30-2009
i got about a 1/4 left but it would make no sense to ship it lol it would cost 5$ to ship and i would want like 3$ thats as good as buying a brand new can for 9$your better off that way
04-30-2009
They look good, wetsand em and buff em and they will look mint. Im gonna do mine darker.
04-30-2009
My one taillight has small hairline cracks in it. Think VHT will hide this if I go dark enough?
04-30-2009
It should. I had some bubbling in mine and you cant tell anymore.
04-30-2009
would i use 2000 grit then like powerball and polish?
