sure andy.. it's really easy. just get the paint and some masking tape and we'll do it.

 

I'm gonna attempt this tomorrow so I'll let you know if I mess up. Hopefully not because VIP is Sat hahah

 

well i did the same thing and it looks great but it fades quick man thas why i got the good stuff hasn't fade at all its been a year and a half

 

really? it faded? what "good stuff" did you use.

 

as long as you clear coat it will be fine i'm sure

 

If you're going to clear coat it make sure you use the right stuff. For Pactra tint spray I believe you want to use an enamel clear coat. I don't think it's a lacquer based paint.

Pactra window tint and Testors transparent black spray go for $3 at the hobby shops near me.

 

What clear coat would i use?

 

jesus this car keeps getting better and better lol

 

would this work in bad wheather (snow, rain, and hot days??)

 

wow i want to do this

 

props on the matte paint job. As for the tails, or all smoked tails in general, meh.

 

man...i can't believe you didn't spend the extra 25minutes to take the lights out. You don't worry about overspray? also if dust and dirt gets on the surface while it's wet? Do it in the garage with the door closed to control more of the dust and do it quick and get out of the garage so you minimize the fumes. Either way it came out pretty good. how many coats did you do? did u sand it afterwards or put a clear on it?

 

If you are going to use the Pactra Window Tint spray (RC294). The same stuff that the OP used and you want to clear coat it afterwards, use Duplicolor Acrylic Lacquer clear coat. Turns out the Pactra spray is a lacquer paint.

 

always trust the tail light tint master Thanks for the info
Flea, I will def. be doing this soon.

 

Me, tail light tint master? No. I have done 29 sets of tails and 2 of them were just "average", according to customers. I'm still just a tail light tint "rookie". Thanks anyways!

 

Ok Master of "How to tint tail lights and help other people out"

LOL From what i've seen you do really good work and if i had the money i would def. send mine to you, tough being 16

Still keep up the good work

 

hey it cost 5.49! just did mine

 

wow, that's pretty dark dude, hope you don't get any trouble for it. I was going to do 2 coats of this stuff.

 

you can see right through it in the sunlight or with the lights on, its actually transparent, well thats what the can says

 

hmm, sadly the hobby shop I visited is out of the stuff, he said thursday he'll have more...

my friend had to get some parts for his gas powered RC car, so him and I went down there on his lunch break (he works at Toyota of Bellevue) and I bought him the parts he needed, and he's going to install my lowering springs with me :D
