You need to make sure the lens are clean. You should just buy the tailights that are dark already.

I've already tinted them, and yes, it was already mentioned that they should be clean prior to tinting.


What taillights that are dark already?

Thanks man
I followed your instructions, and they worked great. This VHT is definitely more durable than what I used last time. It stood up to the pressure washer at the manual car wash. (I let them cure for about a week before they touched water)

yes do take your time between coats! and if you have some halogen high power lights then hook them up to shine onto the taillights to heat them up before painting and to help dry the paint also... just turn the lights off while painting and turn them back on when your done spraying.

heating up the lights before painting will help drying before those runs can well.... run.
