Tinted tails

Yours look awesome! Like how you kept the reverse section un-tinted. I didn't worry about that due to the Hella reverse lights. If I ever get rid of the reverse lights, I will sand down and redo the tails to BLACK and keep reverse un-tinted completely. Good JOB!!

 

thanks
ill try it

 

Good luck!! Let us know how it goes.

 

how many coats did you put on... that looks nice

 

thanks.. i put about 4 coats of tint and 2 coats of clear.
i waited about a week again.. sanded it down with 2000 grit..buffed and waxed it and sprayed it with 1 layer of clear... Nice n Shiny

 

thanks man.. i love the black/clear/black look. it really gives the truck a different look overall. i say you go for it man! take pics when you're done!

 

tinted mine about a month ago.

 

havent decided if i wanted to redo them yet
but any way i found my camera and took some pics
before



after
again i didnt want to go too dark

 

yours look pretty good higherlux. since your truck isnt black you dont have to go too dark. i went darker just to go with the all black theme. when the sunlight shines on them you can still see the colors fairly easy.

 

thanks
they look good from far away but when u get up close all it is small black dots everywhere and i dont like that too much
also when i go down dirt roads the dust just collects on them and hardly anywhere else on the truck but i think thats cuz i put a coat of wax on them to make them shiney

id like to go the black red theme as u can tell im half way there
all thats left to do is the grille, bumpers and tool box, and door handles

 

yeah mine have small black dots too and i havent tried them in the dirt yet. but some people say to clearcoat them to protect them. but im in the same place with the all black theme too. i still have alot of chrome to make black eventually.

 

i forgot to mension that i put clearcoat on mine too and then waxed them
also urs look great too
and how do u plan to black out ur rear bumper??? i was planning on taking my bedlinner out and putting bedliner in the bead and on every thing else chrome except the grill i want to paint that and for the front bumper idk what i want to do to it
it needs to be painted but im afraid the paint will chip or flake off over time so i thought why not bedline it??? can u bedline flexable plastic and it not peal or flake off?

 

im not sure how ill do the rear bumper ill probably bed liner it too. but the front bumper i would just paint or bed liner the chrome bumper inserts if i did it. and one thing that bothers me is the fender flares if you get a scratch on them it shows the white plastic, i want the 01-04 flares cause theyre black plastic.
