Thread: VHT Nightshade

So I went and bought all the stuff to tint my tails and heads. Chose to start with my brake light for practice.
My brother in law, who claims to have done this alot and been paid to, proceeds to take over without asking and starts doing it. I let him do it because well I assumed he was good at this and I didn't know what to do.

He leaves for San Antonio with instructions to put on a clear coat then polish after letting it dry for an hour. I wait for an hour, go outside and there's cracks in the tint all over the brake light. It looks like complete utter f*cking sh*t. I could have easily done a better job. Seriously the guy just threw on several layers all at once im guessing because that's the only reason I can think of that it looks this bad. Now I have to go spend MORE money to fix this sh*t. DAMNATION.

it dies that on plastic if it isn't prepped correctly, it's too humid out, done outside, done indoors, too hott, too cool.

seriously it's a roll of the dice in florida. i did a few things here and there and i randomly would have that happen when i sprayed everything the same time.

and be careful using vht to tint your heads and fogs as vht is a purple based black

of coarse the only thing i ever tinted with vht was a dead gtp and it took flip 4 hours to sand off. so every vehicle after that has been tinted by flip. the truck had it done 2 times but thats a long story
