Smoked my tail lights today for only 7 bucks here are a few before and after shots

 

looks arite...what did you do spray them?

 

yea howed you do them?

 

Did they get you high?

 

Looks like the rockblocker kit.

 

wasent there someone on here that had tinted tails as well but came out more glossier then the spray?

 

Well, for $7 bucks...he sprayed them. There is a taillight tint Rockblocker is selling (somewhat like window tint) for $50. That tint seems to be a more glossy finish than the spray.

 

i still think the best way is to get them done professionaly . . .sanded sprayed and then buffed . . .im getting that for 40 . .

 

you can use model car window tint, and get a good quality high gloss NON YELLOWING clearcoat spraypaint (krylon, etc) and they will come out like glass. but you have to sand the lense with 1500 or 2000 grit sand paper before or it will not stay on. and use light even coats, wait till the tint dries, then use the high gloss clearcoat. 1 or 2 coats is all u need of that. then wait till it dries totally 1-2 days, and wax.

i did this on my old school prelude, and they looked perfect. im just too scared to do something that perminent to my tail lights.

 

thats wut i did

 

try another coat on the left one

 

for 12 bucks you can go to an art store and buy that tint film thats the same as rock's smoke kit.. i tinted my tailights for like four years ago since i was in high school..just a little tip instead of painting the taillights

 

that looks amazing in your color.

 

hey what did you spray them with noram spray paint or what just checkin it out

 

1. Wilp already outlines what to use, and the EastCoastCL used the same process.

and this was brought back to life why?......................

 

whatever floats your boat man

 

looks clean

 

Looks nice, now paint your bumper

 

tint your light on the spoiler too. itll look clean.

 

on my old accord i took apart the tailight and painted the inside of it and it turned out pritty nice

 

 

 

im planing to do that soon... what clear coat should i put on it?

i want it glossy

 

Ok so let me get this straight. first you sand down your tail lights,then you (stick) on the tint, then you apply like 2 to 3 coats of the clear coat letting each dry a few hours in between> correct or am i all wrong about this?

 

no its a spray.. you sand down the lights with 1500 grit sand paper. than you clean it off with alcahol. then spray 2-3 even coats on each light.. wait for them to dry then you spray on a non-yellowing clearcoat. then wait for it to dry before reinstalling.

 

if you put on clear coat and you see after it drys that you want it darker....can you sand off the clear coat and apply more tint or not?

and is there a way to compleatly remove the tint??

 

 

so 2 to 3 coats will get me to about what 30 percent (estimated of course). And will this word the same as model car window tint just incase I cant find any.....http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-B...spagenameZWDVW

 

ive never used it.. but from my prelude board i was on when i first did this to my old lude, they said it didnt come out as good.. but im sure its about the same. just as long as you clean it good and wait for the coats to dry before applying another one it should come out like glass. and dont get a cheap clear coat. get something expensive.

 

well i the only thing i found was this Krylon crystal clear ( non yellowing).i dont remember how much it was i will have to look at the recipt.i didnt buy it cause it was cheap i bought it cause it was the only clear coat from Krylon that i saw. As for the medel car window tint,I went to some hobby shops and all i could find in that section was a glossy black but i didnt think thats what you were talking about. So i guess i will order that stuff and try it out on some old tail lights that i have first.

 

just buy it from rockblocker, 100x better

 

So clean

 

is it illegal to have tinted taillights? what the "law" about that??

 

lol i swear, you post that pic every chance you get

 

:whocares:

 

I just love that sexy ass, plus those are the only good pics I have of my car till I finish up my next round of installs, so you gotta show off sometimes

 

I dont know to much but I sprayed my lights and they looked like shit too dark and not glossy at all. I put a little elbow grease into it and used some cheap 3M Rubbing Compound and lightened up and put a hell of a gloss on them. I love it. Try a little rub and it should shine like kids greasy forehead.
