has anyone used this stuffs Nightshades spray to tint there tail lights; or head lights? any pictures?

 

you're not gonna find a whole lot, a majority of the peeps here tint theirs with film. preferably from rockblocker.com

 

yeah, I used the rockblocker, front and rear. Looks great.

The reason I went with the Rockblocker is because if you use the paint and decide you don't like them or screw them up you are screwed, the rockblocker tints come off if you get sick of them.

 

i used the vht nighshade spray, just sprayed it on with about 5-7 coats and buffed it out a week later and looks great, i had them for about a year now with no problems washing, buffing, waxing, no paint peeling or chips.

 

hmm..i love the way that looks Rajca, did you just tape it out and paint them on the outside and did you use a clear coat?

and the reason i didnt wana use the rockblocker one is that ive heard that you cant really get them on there good. ive heard theres always bubbles and cant get it to fit perfectly? can anyone testify to this? or agianst lol?

 

i took the whole tail light out from the car. used degreaser on the tail light, wiped it, and started spraying light coats and then 2 heavier ones, be careful not to put too much or u might get some paint run. no clear coat just buffed it and waxed it.

i think that if u take the rockblocker to a tint shop they could do it for you and it will probably look good.

 

I have rockblocker on the taillights and they look perfect, no bubble, no wrinkle, and fit perfectly and I did them myself. It's not easy to apply the tint film and remove all the bubble and avoid wrinkle but it's not that hard either. Working slowly is the key. Rockblocker tint film is pre-cut but depends on environment temperature, it might be little smaller or little larger. The good thing is you can stretch the film out a little or cut it to make it fit. Have the film tint for few years now and still look very good condition.

 

u can use film or spray. The spray comes over with paint thinner, its not permanent. Ive done numerous sets of tailights with the spray and never had any problems. My most recent set I had my boy hit with a clearcoat at his body shop so I could have a nice gloss on em.

 

i see..im gunna get a can of that stuff and see how it turns out i guess..i can always just use the pain thinner and bring it to the shop right?..one can will be enough to do my tail lights and maybe a lil on my headlights right? and did you guys who did do this pain on the outside? or inside of the light?

 

one can lasted me for two tail lights, but i went dark on them, i painted the outsides of the lights.

 

true thanks a lot..whered you buy yours?

 

drivers image, but u can get one at a performance shop, costs around $11

 

truee..just gotta find one of these performance shops you speak of. hah.

 

be sure to post progress pics and review, it'll help the next guy who come along

LacViet, when you gonna do another photoshoot man, i need some inspiration

 

With the rockblocker you will get bubbles if there is moisture left under the film. I used a lot of water to apply mine then when I got it looking good I just used a hairdryer to heat up the film and it dried any moisture left under it.
I have not had any problems with mine but I have only had it on for 3 mths....
