I wanna blackout the red on the rear lights of the car. I don't know wheather to black all the red or maybe just a little. If anyone has pic of their tails blacked out it would really help me.

$4.99 testors. 3 coats. nice and clean finish

 

uhmm...what? whats the testors and the coats? sorry..newb~

 

testors is a company that makes model car kits and paint for them. ( model car collector here). not a good idea for cars due to the fact it is almost see through in that pic.

 

Also vht paint makes a spray paint called "niteshades", i saw a max with paint tails and it looked sweet. 'Get it at summitracing.com

Like my page says..I used 4 coats of VHT Niteshades..it's a spray on tint made specifically for lights.

Happyrice looks excellent man...did you try it on your altezzas? I heard bad things about using the testors, that's why I steered clear of them. Some guy said it would start to fade a greenish color. Looks man..

 

what do u mean?

nope, not on the altezzas cuz i'm trying to get rid of it (aka de-rice).

in fact my clear corners turned dark green. that's because i only used 1 coat on it. i'm planning to add 4 more coat and completely smoke it dark. but my tails turned out really good so far... we'll see if it fades later.

 

i got niteshades and tried it out on my fathers' 3rd brakelight from his 01 F-150. after it dried, the texture felt really rough. any of you guys have the same problem?

 

Heres pics of mine: (3 Coats with NiteShades)





I'm probably going to do another coat once it ever gets warm out again....

 

thanx that looks really nice, i think ill just paint all the red and leave the white.

 

skiboarder72, I just came up with the same idea you have and i thought i would be the only with that, but i guess not. what kind of paint did you use?

 

NiteShades sort of look dull on the lights.

 

Haha got to it before you!! Its 3 coats of nite shades
