Default CRX taillight blackouts/tint.

What are the products people have used.

I've searched but havent found anything solid that has had good reviews.

And no company as far as I know makes the taillight covers that are tinted black for CRX's.

Some people paint them from inside some from outside.

Thank you.

vht nightshades tint spray you should search its been covered comes out pretty good . remember to buy the clearcoat also. all it requires is sanding the outside of the tailights so the paint sticks. then spray the amount of tint that you want let dry then add clearcoat .so it can come out shiny there your done.

As featured on the JDMshit site. (Newman, tell those website fucktards again to stop jacking my images will ya??)







Use a rubbing compound to scuff the clear part of the taillight. Clean uf using non-agressive agent. Otherwise plastic will go dull.

Apply an -EVEN- coat of color. I used Duplicolor "backlight spray".
If you expletive this up you're done, and have to start over. It's a bitch to get off.

Let it dry, and liberally apply the clearcoat.

After this, I decided to colormatch the outer trim to the color of my car. Pictures shown are close-up, daylight, and night.

Yeah, I tried the tint. But with weather conditions it started to peel in a week or so. So that was a bit of a buzzkill.

Exhaust is invidia. I hate it. Looks like ***, but it's the only thing that flows decent with my B18C4.
