[DaRussian]

yea this stuff does work, i use it all the time.

[skillzilla]

Ive used it for RC cars and lights, works well. Make sure you do a few light coats, and make it realllllly even.

Yeah the spray stuff can be hard to get to look even, I would DEFINITELY practice on something. My orange lights are sprayed:

Daytime is a little harder to see, but still legal. At night it's about the same. I've been looking for some more, where did you buy that can?

P.S. - I have the bumper lights that we sprayed in my garage cause he sold that car, if interested in them LMK, that way if you don't like them you can put yours back on. PM me!

Lamin-x makes tint film.

If you're going to use this stuff, make sure you clean the lenses well, then put a layer of clear coat over it BEFORE the niteshade. Then, do as many even coats of the niteshade you want to get the desired effect. Then clear coat over the niteshade again. Keeps it from dulling, and gives it a deeper effect.

[The BUCKY]

nothing from a spray can will have a deep effect

[Logan]

gives it a deeper effect

:gay:

[Meso Teggy]

ok so if i use the testors transparent black tint along with this high gloss gloss clear coat i should be fine

Well, to be honest Ive never used that particular product, so I dunno maybe it does suck ass (and user error is a factor too Im sure). I always take my time and actually prep the lights, so maybe thats the difference.

[iNsTuN nOoDoH]

If you decide to tint your tail lights, let me know first. I'd like to get them from you.

[Meso Teggy]

i used this other brand called TAMIYA it turned out ok

[§treet_§peed]

lol along time ago in another thread we established this is not technicaly legal. but most cops wil let it slide unless it is completely unreasonable dark

[MIKE.P]

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d36/gavdapaul/a750_1.jpg so you're going to spray some VHT onto your lights?

w00t trackbite ftw
lolol ;)

que:???:.....elaborate please

[KPowerEP3]

VHT makes the sticky track prep stuff, and most people just call it 'VHT'.

btw, I'd like to see some pics of your lights. I did mine the same way on my EP, only I didn't prep them well or clear them and they faded after just a couple of washes, and after a few months of rain and washing it was all but gone.

[AnthonyF]

just use a Magnum 44 marker. :goodjob:
