i tried something like that WHICH did look good from a view.... BUT it looked like CRAP up close!

i thought about using straight paint BUT i dont want them to dark
i thought about just buying the black/clear tail lights BUT im just not feeling the clear circle parts!

saw it on an advertisement just below

 

o hell na... not gonna pay almost 200bucks thats for sure!!!!!
if i can find out what kinda paint or tint they use to spray i can paint them myself..... its just the little spray aerosol tint spray that i got REALY SUCKED!!!!!!!! if i could buy like a little can of the solid tint thats all id need! i can spray and clear myself.
i just dont know of any product that i can buy to do it myself
im sure thiers only like 20-30bucks in materials used to tint all the lenses!

 

find a shop that does vinyl and see if they have smoked vinyl film, this would be a simple operation as well as look alot cleaner. Another option would be the Lamin-x stuff on ebay, there are some vendors that do head and tail lights .... but I wouldnt' be suprised if you could just buy some in a sheet and cut to fit.


I just did a smoke tint spray (VHT nightshades) paint job on a friend of mines saturn sc2 and with several light coats as well as several coats of clear they came out wonderfully and look great upclose......... but this being said I'd got with vinyl because it's easier to replace/re-due when things get worn or torn (had to sand down the previous clear coats off the tails to I could re paint them and it was a messy pain).

 

ya i know all about sanding! i tried tinting my tail lights twice! both times looked like crap so i just sanded it all down again and then buffed it back to a shine!
and i must say i hate sanding all that junk off.LOL i just used 2K grit cause i didnt want to scare the lense so as anyone knows its a task!

guess i might just try some black paint preaty thin...

 

I'd go for the smoked vinyl if you've been unhappy with your paint work, it's a hell of a lot easier to remove than the paint and in the end it'll look loads better than paint ever will.
