What did you use to glue the tint to the tail lights?

Hey George....I believe he used a smoke tinted spray paint...you just tape up the red part of the tails...and just spray a few light coats until you get the desired color...but don't touch it...gotta let it dry...those little things are expensive tho. Hope this helps.

 

hey thanx ray...where can i get those?

pep boys?

city

 

No problem! hehe! Most aftermarket stores carry them. It's all in japanese. They are like 20 bucks....I can take you to a store down here that has them. I can help you also....we just need masking tape....and newspaper.

 

are you talking about spraying the tint onto the yellow part of your tail lights?

 

Yes...DO11AR's car smoked out the orange part. But city's car is a 02...but I'm thinking he might want to smoke the clear part....call me up George, I'll get it for you.

 

you can buy that japanese spray (smoke, silver or colored) that will lift off if you get tired of it...er, it's semi-permanent. i think it's not glossy, but sorta dull, so it might not be what you are looking for. however, you can check it out.

 

Hey Stan....might be the same thing we're talking about...hehe! Is it in a small can? with a round plastic cap?

 

mm...I didn't use spray paint...I used tint sticker which I bought it in little tokyo from LA downtown..only heat gun and knife is needed it to install..

 

eh? blah! now I made a total a$$ out of myself!!! Do they have any other interesting tint colors we can use for the lights?

 

try www.autodynamic.com

 

My friend used spray paint on his E class..and it looks exactly like the same, but spray paint needed the hard work and some professional skill..if wanna do it good..maybe take off the tail light is needed, so I choose the easy way...tint sticker..doesn't need to take off the tail light..the colors choice are smoke ane red...mm...I guess that's all~ :p

 

yo thanks dollar...syn gave us the location to Garvey place...looks like they have this japanese film..i might try that..wanna go with me? yo ray u wanna tag along?

George, Yeah, I'm down. WHere on Garvey? Is it AutoDynamic? Call me up when you wanna go. I'm free most of the time.

 

sure, but depends on TIMING...remember, i worked 3rd shift friday night and will work again saturday night!

 

unless you guys are good with the knife, it seems that the tint sticker could be hard to cut out to the exact shape of the taillights. I tried putting window tint over them and it looked pretty good, but cutting it out took awhile and it wasn't perfect looking from up close.

Since then, I removed the tails and spray tinted the amber turn signals with a transparent red hobby spray. It looks cleaner than the tape tint IMO. No danger of some punk coming up and pulling off your tint either.

 

for the tint sticker..u need to cut the almost the same size and put it on and cut out the exactly size by knife..city..call me anytime~ where is Garvey place?
