can i use regular tint from kragens ($20.00) to tint the rear tail lamps, i only wanna tint the top half.

 

Is that a spray or film?

 

I wouldnt use spray or tint...
1) spray=can't get off, the luster of the light and tint differ.
2) tint is too thin and prone to bubbles with heat from the light ad/or will chip and scratch very easy

Use a vinyl and buy it from C-C-C.net (juniorbean is a vendor)

 

I used oracal series 8300 transparent vinyl, color dark gray(073) to do mine.. ordered a yard of it for like 5 bucks

 

Where'd you order it from?

 

wow ok that was close, i bought the tint and everything, it was the spray on. i did however tint the front ambers and it looks great, gives it a clear look without baking the lamps.

 

got it from here...

pics.. stuff was a pita getting it flat

stock left, tinted right...

 

hey Grammo does the tinted part still have the reflective qualities to it?

 

good job there, grammo. it's not too much and looks just right on a NBP.

 

But have you ran across any bubbles.I have heard that a lot of people get bubbles from the sun when they tint the lights like that.

 

if installed correctly the only thing the sun will do is DRY out the bubbles. If you use the vinyl in 100% of the cases, the bubbles will be dried out.

 

interesting......i might do this because i really dont want to tint spray them and i dont wanna pay 50 bucks from road blocker,

 

wow that looks real clean, i tried it with regular tint and its way too hard to do w/o bubbles, i even tried cutting it in half and still had bubbles. i think im gonna buy the pre cut kit, u kno wher to get that?

 

just get the stuff from C-C-C.....its good stuff, i would highly recommend it.

 

o ok thanks

 

yes it still looks like stock for the shiny qualities.

for the bubbles... i used soapy water underneath the vinyl to allow me to move it around a bunch. i didn't use a heat gun or anything but i stretched the crap out of the vinyl to get rid of all the bubbles. it took a good 30 minutes for each light to make sure it was flat. it was a pain, but i like the results.
