harrisonG Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 my friend who i was with this past weekend had these tinted rear lights, and i thought they were super sick and asked him how much they cost, and he said that he got "spray tint" i was wondering if anyone would advise doing this or what the brand name of the spray is? before i went and did it, i wanted to see what some of you guys thought about it Harrison Quote 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

11BangBang Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 My brother works at service king, and he actually got a painter to paint his taillights black. It is heavily mixed with clear so it looks solid black, but the lights show up just fine Quote 2001 Tahoe Alpine IVA-W505 2 OPTIMA's RED/YELLOW DUAL ALTs 140/220 (2) HIFONICS BXI1280D (1) HIFONICS ZXI6408 (4) ALPINE SPR-13S 5.25 (4) ALPINE SPR-17S 6.5 (2) KICKER 15L7 at 1 ohm 4.5 CUBIC@38HZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrisonG Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 My brother works at service king, and he actually got a painter to paint his taillights black. It is heavily mixed with clear so it looks solid black, but the lights show up just fine do you by chance know the name of the spray? and any methods of application would be great to hear, such as if i should take off the lights then do it or if i should paper em up and just spray the outside, thats what my friend did and they really did look great Quote 2000 Nissan Xterra -Infinity 6020cs components -Infinity 692.7 6x9s -DC LVL 4 12 -AQ1200 -Pioneer DEHP860MP H/U -4 channel amp for mids and highs???

11BangBang Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Yeah I have been hearing alot about the nightshade, but his are actually automotive paint and clear. He works there so it was easy and cheap(free). But the night shade just sprays right on and from what I have seen looks pretty damn good Quote 2001 Tahoe Alpine IVA-W505 2 OPTIMA's RED/YELLOW DUAL ALTs 140/220 (2) HIFONICS BXI1280D (1) HIFONICS ZXI6408 (4) ALPINE SPR-13S 5.25 (4) ALPINE SPR-17S 6.5 (2) KICKER 15L7 at 1 ohm 4.5 CUBIC@38HZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thewes Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Two options - Buy some VHT and do it yourself, it will look half ass. - Find a body shop that has experience with taillights and they will chef up some clear/black for you, it will look good.

The Performer Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 its actually not hard at all and my tail lights are in 4 pieces...the head light and tails look good...saves u about idk 95 dollars from a tint shop for their matteriel and their gay ass $12/h laboredit spelling Yeah but their "gay ass $12/h labor" is what makes the difference in your lights looking like they got sprayed by a rattle can or looking excellent. There's an excellent way to do spray paint, and there is a "common" way. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...showtopic=45762 Here's a few pics of my chevy logo that I tinted with VHT and clear coated then did the polish technique like I show in that thread. Daytime Night The trick is to wetsand the plastic down with around 600 grit to clean and get the surface prepped for the night shade, then spray it on. Then use 800-1000 to level the VHT down, then clear coat a good few times and wetsand/polish with that. Check the thread I attached. Quote CERTIFIED BITCHES!!!
