Big_Mike Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 I was wondering what tint I should use to tint my tail lights. I tried VHT Niteshades and I messed them up so bad that I needed new tail lights. :x. So I was thinking of just using some tint on them just to make it look nice.

cmamtower Posted October 26, 2010 Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 one word, PREPWORK. no matter how good your supplies are, the prepwork is what will determine your final result(edit), if you dont get all the oils off, even a little tiny bit in one spot, you'll get a fish eye or something. apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.

Big_Mike Posted October 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 26, 2010 alright....i did my accord back in the day, i fuck up and took brake cleaner to it and wiped right off The one on the right I took off the niteshade because of those cracks. They weren't there when I sprayed it on. And on the left it turned white like that after I took it off. So. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And on the left it turned white like that after I took it off. So. and you took it off with brakeparts cleaner? im pretty sure it will corrode plastic if it sits on there too long. when i took off my tint, i started wetsanding with 600 grit, then 800, then 1000 then 2000 and then polished until they were close to perfect. better looking than factory anyways. lol 800th post ftw apparently you dont get the fact that the subaru was wrapped around a pole. and by the status of your comment, im guessing your mouth is too.
