HOW TO: Tinting tail lights, The right way (PICS)

Some body shops can do it for you locally if you want, but it'll probably be relatively expensive. I would recommend you do it yourself. It's not to hard.

 

I have no patience like non what so ever!!! Id fuck it up completely

 

Nope I didn't tint the back up light I want to leave that one bright for brake light reasons just incase some idiot behind me thinks they can't see through my tails. And thanks, the good job on my window has "teddy bear" on the third window. (thanks to my girlfriend ......)

 

If you want to ship it I can, but I just need to find the time. Maybe when this semester ends.

 

Sara you can take your lights out, clean them up, and take them to a paint/body shop so they can mix some black with clear and shoot it.

There are plenty of places here in Visalia that do it so I'm willing to guess that Fresno has a ton more.

 

Yeah that would probably be cheaper then shipping them back and forth plus the material cost to do the work and labor.

 

Yea, a buddy of mine and member here got his shot at a local body shop for $80.

It's a waay more permanent way to do it too.

 

Yeah I'm running mine stock color now since all the tabs on the passenger side snapped after it popped out when my bedside got smashed...

 

Yeah, excited for my new CBI Trailmaster 2.0 though!

But now I'm broke because of it.

 

I know what you mean haha. Ordered a new upper for an AR15 build and kept checking my account to see if they had taken my money yet, that would mean they shipped it already.

Excited...with butterflies coming out of my wallet..

 

Nice I want to start of my own, I'm deciding whether to get a bike first though...

 

A man with hobbies..is usually a broke one..

 

Exactly... being on here so much doesn't help either. Haha

 

Did this mod and they came out almost perfect. But i am nervous that they may be a bit darker then i want, don't need a reason to get pulled over. Would like to start over and go with 1 coat of tint. Whats the best way to strip? Paint thinner then sand or just start sanding?

 

I had to use gasoline, make sure to get all of the gasoline off afterwards though

 

Doesn't gas eat plastic (then again i think most paint strippers do also)? Just use small amounts on a rag?

 

Correct try a rag and dome gas (I found gas worked better than paint thinner). I also sanded aswell till it was clear. It wl look bad until you paint again

 

pics? with tails lit and unlit...

 

I'm pretty sure if you put the vht tint paint on your tail lights or headlights it will restrict you from getting the go on your inspection sticker next time it needs to get renewed.
