there is a post by dcspecial on here as to how to do it. you use translucent black model paint. works great. i used 2 cans on my tailights and they are black!

i remeber now but where is it

I originally used 2 cans and the police weren't fans of that at all LOL


One can seems to be more to their liking :hehe:

so how much do you spray on each one to make em still legal? LOL Seriously though, I dont want mine black, but I also want them to be noticable and different.

Now, I don't know about legalities....which is why I try and avoid hitting the interstates in my truck LOL



But, one little 3.0 oz can of the model tint will be enough to do both tails and third brake light and still be able to see that they are red.

2 Cans and they are just black.

Aright, sounds good. What is the brand of the "tint" and "clear coat"??

where do you buy this tint?

 

[DCSpecial]

"Transparent Black Window Tint"
It's from the model (cars/planes/etc..) section at Hobby Lobby, comes in little 3.0 oz spray cans.

The clear on my tails and third brake light is a High Gloss Clear Acrylic Sealer.....also from Hobby Lobby.

Or, their is a product called "NiteShades" made by VHT which is made for tinting lenses.....it comes in larger 12 or 16oz spray cans I believe.
