anyone know where i can find some of this transparent vinyl?

i've tried doing the "testor's transparent candy apple red"... worked well for a couple months, but in the summer it faded like a grip.

Wow, thats pretty cool. I would say Michaels maybe.

 

This kid at my loccal high school did that last year. looks real good from even 50-10 feet away.. you only notice the lines if you make wobbly/sloppy shapres...

 

I blacked out my tail light and headlight during my rice day..they fade under the sun too, just give it sometime and it would even crack, the best paint is that the sticky glue would come out

so much for painting taillight

Would it work on my car?



LOL, no more JDM blinging yellow signal

Just wait til the vinyl starts fading, it'll turn pink....

 

man, thats some cool stuff. seems alot better then paint. my friend had the paint and it began to fade away after a few months.

 

I have actually seen a car with that done in person , when i saw it I was thinking hmm some new tailights but now I know BTW where can you find this stuff I wanna use this stuff for my 94-97 taillights

 

you can order from a 3m distrubutor.

the vinyl is called Scotchlite Electrocut Film 1100 series. run a search on there website to get the part number for the red.

I've checked on the prices for a roll before, around 100 bucks. So if you have the time and find the interest, do like the other people on ebay and sell it for 10 bucks a foot.

I've used this stuff for over 2 years now with no signs of fading or cracking. And i'm pretty sure the author of that diy is using the same stuff.

btw, i got my stuff from pit crew in san gabriel, ca. check your local window graphis people if they have any.

50-10 feet away eh?

Looks good though. I wanna do this to my 94-97 taillights so I can be cool and look like a 98+

They have the vinyl, I think its like 6 bucks or somethin like that.

 

They look good on the RSX.. They should come like that from the factory...

 

Theres mine.

 

My friend did his using oracal.com's transparent vinyl. I believe they give free samples of their vinyl (only red which is perfect in your case and enough to do the taillights on a RSX). It isn't hard to do at all, and I have yet to see it fade (been around 6 months now). I also blacked out my taillights with their transparent vinyl (grey in color) and it turned out pretty well.

 

IMHO, i would like it more if it was professionally done.

Paint and clearcoat them with the Stained Glass red from Michael's. Looks more uniform.

 

doesnt look to bad on the rsx, if you have a good eye for that stuff...some people would not be able to tell....

No prob.

 

looks cool now, but like the dude with the s2k said, it'll turn to **** after a few months of sun beating.
