I want to tint my headlights, taillights, 3rd brake light, and side reflectors with VHT NightShades but i have never tinted or "spray-painted" anything before but i kno how to follow directions very well i tried to find a good stepbystep thread on here but no luck... Wanna help a brotha out? lol




(Why cant i post a profile pic or a sig :facepalm)

for the tails:
sand with a very light grit sandpaper (optional, helps it adhere better)
do one coat at a time, spray quickly across the light in a sweeping motion evenly across the light a few times to get a good coat.
wait around 30 min between each coat.
wait a while ( i would wait at least a few hours or until the next day for the tint to cure) and then spray them with a coat of clear. this is optional but i would reccomend it

this is how my tails look with 3 coats:


if you want them completely blacked out 5 good coats would probably do it

should be about the same method for the third brake light, side reflectors, and headlights. just to let you know though, i've heard of many people that VHT their headlights only to have them start flaking a year or less after.


it's pretty simple, i'm not the best at explaining things but i hope this helps lol

how do i tape it off or do i really need too?

[mustangmike!]

I pulled mine off the car. Im not taking chances in over spray hitting my paint sorry ....

And tape is really simple, you take it, get the little corner off, pull some off, and place where you dont want shit to get on
