MustangMatt96GT · November 8th, 2007, 09:39 PM

gtdan · November 8th, 2007, 09:42 PM

how to paint the headlights and tail's what shade to go with.

MustangMatt96GT · November 8th, 2007, 09:44 PM

you take the tailights out.

Clean them with soap and water.

Dry them off completely

Spray on very light coats of VHT Niteshade (

Around 1-2 minutes between coats

10 coats is dark dark!

5 is about what i have!

Let them dry.

Spray some clear coat on them, let it dry.

Bolt them back on!

MustangMatt96GT · November 8th, 2007, 09:44 PM

Mine will be darker, I am going to spray more on tomorrow before work! They arnt dark enough for me!

No, it has to be a tint. I only suggest VHT Niteshade
