I wonder how visible it is...

 

if you use the right paint or actually use tint its pretty visible

 

I did mine. Tha is my car on the thread. I made sure I did not put alot of tint on and everything is very visible... these pics do not do them justice
LOL this is what ws on there when I got the car



My freind had a old set from his car that were painted over. I had to sand out all the lines so I also took off all the DOT lettering and made everything smooth. Sprayed a very light coat of tint in an even manner. Then I sprayed a assload of clear coat. Then just wet sanded it all smooth then polished it all up

 

Here is another pic I found

 

is there a write up for some of us dumb people or a better explanation on tinting your tail lights the correct way sorry probably get flamed for this

 

not to bad

 

that looks way sweet. where do you get the spray tint at????

 

Looks nice, how much did you spend? I had the smoked covers on a civic way back then. Looks similar.

 

Hot!

 

1 use 600 grit on a sanding block to get rid of the lettering if you like

2 switch to a finer grit like 800 and make sure all is smooth. then just spray the amount of tint you want on.... I really recomend very little.. and spray it all even

3 Once it is dry, spray a few coats of clear.... the more coats you use the deeper it will look as far as sheen.

4 Wet sand with some something above 1000 grit,,, then finish with 1500 and make it smooth.

6 Last get some Meguires auto polish then polish by hand to a puuurrrty shiny finish


And this is the stuff you need. Most parts store will sell it


I think I spent less than $20 on everything

 

And I am also concidering swapping my lights for a se of 91 if there are any takers

 

THANKS FOR THE INFO BUD GOOD LOOKING OUT

 

Since where on the sub.. is there away to like.. lightly tint them.. so that tails.. just look a bit darker.. and not just straight black???

 

yeah... just use less spray. Mine are like that... they just look darker in the pics

 

That is what I though.. just making sure thanks

 

I suppose there is no way to take it off?

 

sand it off

 

yup... if you do not like it you just sand it all off.... then you can just go down to a fine grit then polish them out... or just clearcoat them

 

anyone done this with altezzas? got pics? haha
