monoxide Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 i thought i would give it a shot since my bro had some lens tint left. he got the rust-oleum tint and his came out good nice and dark but he has a black truck mine is white so i wanted a little lighter. i hope its just the lighting in the spot im tinting my lights in but one coat looks really dark im scared to do more then 3. lol. i just did 1 coat and it is almost straight black. im debating on doing my reverse light to or not. well here are the pics i have so far. Taped up: one coat: finished the second coat and removed the tape to start the third and final coat and i ran out of spray. but my buddy is getting some more spray tomorrow so i can do his and finish mine. but here they are up until now second coat with the tape removed: The pair of them: The Spray i used: when i get them finished i will post up pics of them and post pics of them installed.

h23a3lude Posted March 8, 2012 Report Posted March 8, 2012 I've used the spray stuff and overtime it will fade and look dull but i used the film stuff off ebay and it works great!! and it lets like 80% of the light through with dark stuff. so you can use smoke color on headlights and see fine PICS PICS PICS EDIT: also have to keep in mind that on a darker surface as in a taillight (not a clear/chrome headlight) it will turn out alot darker! 92 Honda Prelude SI H23a3 HU: Alpine CDA-105 Front Stage: DB Drive PT6.0 6.5" Rear Stage: Junk pioneers (Not sure what im wanting to do in the trunk, waiting) Speaker Amp: DB Drive A4 4200 Sub Amp: MB Quart DSC1500.1 Subs: 2 12" MB Quart Premiums Box: Slot port tuned to ~34hz Wiring: Kicker Ultraflex 0awg and Big 3 Alt: Stock (saving for a 200amp Excessive Amperage) Batteries: Optima Yellow Top and Stinger SPV44 Extra Equipment: Two Rockford Fosgate T2 12's (Recones in future) Kicker ZX1000.1 Selling: GOLF CLUBS- http://www.stevemead...03#entry1916603
