Thread: tinting tail lights???

i read the write up on how to tint ur tail lights and i wanna do it...im just wondering if ne body else has and how hard is it.....how do i know how dark to make them

alright ty....ill have some pics in a couple of weeks

What are you going to clear them with??? Spraycan clear will not look to good... Heres a few pictures if you want shiny!!! Automotive clear is the ONLY way to good.. Im not a Big fan of nightshade either









Here a picture of VHT on them & ones dark then the other


If you are going to do them..Do them right the first time...

so what do u suppose i do ..how do i do them right???

That link will work but you will not get the shine you want.. If you like dull or a little shiny then that may work for you.. Tint them with your VHT then have a bodyshop clear them for you is the way to go... I have tinted alot of tails that people have try to do themselfs.. Good luck but in the end it will be cheaper for you to have someone that does it all the time do them for you...

2 cans of VHT $16-20
2 cans of clear $10-12
800 grit or a red scuff pad $2-5
Wax & tar cleaner $12-15
Masking tape $ 2-4
wax to see if you can get them to shine $8-12

$50 taking the lowest prices from above.. now if you mess them up
$20-35 to have them sand off your VHT & clear
Then $50 -60 to have them tinted RIGHT!!!
So in the end you will be paying $120 to have them right.. I would just pay the $50-60 to have them done.. My .02

Have Flip do them. I have a guy that lives near me that does a mix of black/clear and it looks amazing. they are about the same quality as flips

hmmm yeh i was gunna do them to save some money...but i guess ill have to call around and see what prices i can get......... if not then ill give it a shot

Im the cheapest but I dont have the time to do them for a few weeks..Sorry

hmm i thought u were jokin when u said u do them...how much u charge????? and when would u be able to do them

yeh thats pretty dam nice
