takenotes101 Posted September 3, 2009 Report Share Posted September 3, 2009 theres my 2006 mercury mountaineer premier. I was just wondering what you guys would recommend for blacking it out. Im going to tint the fog lights, 3rd brake light, side turn signals, and tail lights with vht nightshade, but not sure about headlights yet. All the silver pieces seem plastic except for the roof rack. im also not too sure what im going to to about rims yet... i might just paint or powdercoat the stock rims for temporary untill i get new ones. I will also debadge the back of it. But anyway, what process would u guys recommend for changing all the silver parts to black. Thanks.

1992Chevy K1500 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 thanks, also, what do u guys think I should do with my headlights? Darken them a little. Not much, maybe use 35% tint or equivalent.

takenotes101 Posted September 4, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) Darken them a little. Not much, maybe use 35% tint or equivalent. can i not take them apart and paint the inside reflective silver piece black? or would it not work with the way that my headlights are set up.

wildbeast15 Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 (edited) i wouldnt do the inside of those lamps..(i have a 02 mount) it wouldnt give the same effect and it would impossible to reverse... (the outside you can wet sand to bring back to stock...) as for the tails... http://www.wheelzngrillez.com/20foextalib1.html those look sick ' and no dont touch the reflective part... that will reduce the brightness too... thats a no no.. you dont even want fingerprints on that..

raytard Posted September 4, 2009 Report Share Posted September 4, 2009 headlights-use the nightshade BUT get those sticky stiicker circles from a store and put them more or less over where you think the lights are, and then spray over them so you have like a clear spot in the center, and black the fck out of the rest of it....no tickets, still have lights, and it looks blacked out...win/win/win situation....i've seen some guys get creative with that shit and make it look amazing Quote Build: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/ind...hl=avalon+build monster/rockford/kicker/stinger cables, pioneer source, jbl highs/amps, kinetik/shuriken batts, iraggi alt, dei security, dc subs(atleast for now) Team DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
