Clearbraj Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 if you paint them how will you remove it easily when you get tired of it? NOT We use Laminx and xpel films.

turbo302 Posted August 24, 2009 Report Share Posted August 24, 2009 that is an excellent point... and cheaper as well.. right? That stuff does work well, but work in very light coats. It runs very easily, so try 3-5 light coats instead of a couple of heavy ones. You will be much happier with the results. Actually, we did it that way for a while and found out that it wasn't the right way to do it. The lights were comming out very flat looking. You need to do one coat, to the darkness you want. Then it will dry glossy and look really good. The problem with multiple coats is that every coat causes the lights to look more dull and flat looking. The directions on the can tell you to do one coat to desired darkness... Trust me we have do a lot of tailights. VHT... if you paint them how will you remove it easily when you get tired of it? Laquer thinner... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest youngazntinter Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I would not use the Nightshade spray thingy.... I sprayed 3 light coats and 3 light coats of clear coat...and tail light itself isn't dark,,,, nor shiney,, and the light oupput is horrible.... I switched the bulb to LED and still not bright enough during the day time... I'd go wit film. 100% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TintDude Posted August 27, 2009 Report Share Posted August 27, 2009 I know it looks "cool" or whatever, but why in the world would you want to darken your brake lights? Do you think that if you get rear ended that your victim wouldn't sue your azz off because you darkened your brake lights? I would. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo's Tint Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 I know its an old post, I have used the paint, you put 3 coats on it, then you wet sand it, 1000 1500 2000 then use a polish looks brand new and depending on how much you sand, is how dark they come out. I like to do them so they are a "dark cherry" where people ask is that stock or not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
