nope, nope.. still gotta wait.. i got real work to do at the moment... (=

 

Ben, after wet sanding I just use polishing compound (Dupont, available at Wal-Mart or most everywhere), then Mother's Pre-Wax Cleaner which is essentially a mild polish also. Last step is wax, and I use Mother's Carnauba.
I've also done some just with the pre-wax cleaner, skipped the polishing compound - either way works.
Jamie just bought a set of tinted tails off me on Sunday - you can ask him how good they look. I haven't tried the 3M pad he suggested, but the stuff I use is available most anywhere, don't have to go to a specialty paint store to get it. Just a suggestion.

 

i want to tint my tails a little more. i skipped almost every step. i just cleaned and sprayed. the tails have a very bumpy ext. so wetsanding would've taken forever

 

hey steve, i thought about tinting my headlights. any thoughts on that? =)

 

when i first got my tc i wanted tinted headlights but i think it might b asking for it idk

 

hmmm.... i dunno about tinting headlights since it'll be pretty much permanent (of course you can remove it but it'll take some work)

smoked overlays would be better since you can remove them easier if you decide you dont want'em smoke anymore. I have the ones from RockBlocker but the light output is significantly decreased. I have HIDs but it looks like halogens.

 

thats how dark they are and thats the picture taken befor both of them were done and i didnt take the tape off the reverse light on that tinted tail. Both need to b wet sanded and the buffing compound. Those are the del sol tails figured it would b better to start on something i can mess up on

 

i tried to put on overlays, but i messed up on them badly. its so hard to apply..

 

I expect that light output would be reduced on the headlights - it is on the tails, but obviously that's a whole different ballgame. It looks good, but I think it would be a cop magnet, in addition to the output reduction. I wouldn't do it, but that's me.
There's a thread in PPC though, somebody looking to trade tinted/overlayed headlights for stock - I can find it if you're interested.

 

so true, i tried to do it at 1am. if you heat them up they are much easier to work with. I found this out when I left the film on the headlight (lights were one) while i went inside to get a hairdryer. the lights made the overlays easier to work with. One looks nice but i messed up a little on the driver side. there is a ripple on the edge that doesnt stick anymore.

off topic.... but does anyone know where they sell P.I.N.K vodka?

 

i tryed overlays on my tails and failed horribly lol

 

wouldn't the kappys at wellington circle have it..... that's the biggest place i know of... or the one on rt one before the mall.. never been there though.

 

Hey everyone. Thank you for waiting for me sunday. It was a good time. Too bad I had to leave. I look foward to metting you all again some other time.
Let me know if any one will be coming down to nashoba valley.
See ya.

 

once my car is fixed, does someone want to help me with headlight overlay? maybe at an install meet or something. =P

 

who was that with the person they know that did the tint? might beable to help you idk i wouldnt try it again if you paid me lol it was a PITA

 

I plan to throw an install meet/BBQ in April again.. unless March warms up early... you probably don't want to wait.. haha..

PC throw a tint party.. it was last summer...
