Tinting taillights?

[Babyjuice]

I used vht nightshade on my trucks taillights and they came out good. I did a test run on a trailer light to see how many coats I needed then went directly to my taillights. If you do all the coats at one time then you don't really need to do the sanding to make them glossy. Mine came out super glossy with no sanding or clearing.

I did mine with niteshades. It adds a slight purple hue though - so your turn signals will look a bit more whitish, your brake lights will look deep red, and your reverse lights will have a purple hue to it.

Wetsand all over with 3000 grit, wipe with IPA - make sure it's super clean, spray the niteshates on evenly, let it dry, apply another coat if you want, then buff it with some polish so it's glossy. Apply it slightly darker than you want, since you will remove a bit of the product with the polishing process

Im not interested a film type of tint, Im interested in an opaque type of spray. I know the VHT product, but was curious what other spray on stuff was out there. Like I said, I'm familiar with prep and how to finish the paint work. I've got a nice buffer in the garage that I can get me a nice finish with after color sanding the clear. Im interested in a slight tint on headlights, parking lamps, and tails/third brake light.

Look into this one. It doesn't have the purplish tint that vht does

I had a buddy that paints cars do mine.. He used watered down black paint and it came out great.. He has done it for a few of my cars and many of my friends with great results.. Super glossy and still transparent..

My dad paints, but he won't be down with tinting my tails. I also have a really good painter friend,but wanted to try something myself. Im loving that suburban by the way, looks sick.
