Tint Tail Lights How???

Dose the tint come off or peel?... & can the tint be removed say after a year back to stock?


No it wont peel. Make sure you get some spray on clearcoat and do that after the tint dries. It can be removed, you have to get the stuff VHT sells to remove it. I can take a pic of my msp tail if you want...
 
your best bet would be to go to a local hobby store and ask them for tint paint made for r/c cars. works the best and is only six bucks

where did you get the can from? wal-mart?

I bought my can at a local tire shop for $10. But call first because they don't normally stock the VHT.

I will take a look at the pics
 
This is how my VHT tinting looked for my 2000 dodge dakota. the red area was coated with 5 layers (very dark!), the white areas were only 2 coats.

Just remember, it is all in the prep work. Clean, sand 600 grit, clean, sand with finer paper 800 grit, clean, make sure surface is smooth and evenly sanded, mask and spray. Let dry 1 hr between coats, b/c this stuff does darken a little as it dries. add coats until desired darkness achieved. Wet sand with 1000 grit paper, clean. let fully dry. spray on 2 layers of clear coat paint. wet sand with 1500 grit paper to make it glass smooth. final step is to add a layer or 2 of wax, once the final peices are fully dry. The wax really makes them "pop"

craptastic pic but heres my P5 with tinted tails.. I used nightshades..

Hard to tell anything at all from that pic.

What I want to see is a thread on how the first P5 pics in this thread painted the little inset part of their bumpers black. That looks hot.
 
I have full smoke for the P5 tails! Just need pics for my gallery! Email me for a special price in exchange for some pics for my gallery ;).
