I was wondering if the 95/96 could post there pics if your tails are tinted. I would also like it if you could include wether or not you used the vht night shade tint or if you used black paint and what type. And lasty where or not you paint on the outside or on the inside of the lense.

Check out my home page for pics and yes i did use vht night and i painted the outsides.
does that help

 

I used House Of Kolors black paint....my buddy owed me some cash but instead he sprayed my tails.....looks nice on the DJ2 paint(dark emerald green)....Will post pics ASAP!

 

was it hard to paint?? u got to paint the inside right?

 

outside like maxine said...basically take the tails off and spray the paint on. Just make sure you do light coats.

 

i saw on the dallas site that they used this high temp rust preventing flat black paint. I have that same paint ecept for the high temp part and i was wondering if i could save some $$$.

 

maximabebe got those pics?

 

Um..I'll sell you mine, lol.

 

not yet james i have to finish a roll of film and have them put onto a cd i will do that tomorrow im off from work

 

heres mine, testors black window tint spray from a local hobby shop, light coats on the outside of the taillights.

 

Dude, I don't care what anyone else says. These are a big improvement from stockers, but the 97-99 red/clears rule over all. Which is why I want to convert to a 97.

 

what parts do u have to buy to convert to a 97 tail?

 

you need a trunk for a 97 nissan maxima and 97 tail lights.

you have to upload on to server

 

Nice!

 

Ummm...i hope everybody that didn't use VHT Nite Shades made sure that the paint they used was translucent. If you dont know what translucent means, you have no business tinting your tail lights.

 

hey nismo about the pinstrip if you go to a paint shope or some auto stores they have this earser think that goes on your drill and u hold it at an angle and it only take like 35 to 40 minetes to do the whole car i used one and it was sweet cause nothing else would get it off without scratching it. the guy who painted my car gave me that advice and i just thought i would pass it on

 

check the sig and the site

 

Thanks MZMTG! I dion't know how to upload to a server to actually display a photo rather than a link.

 

get a cardomain site and you should be fine they let you link to there site still i think

 

James, cut and paste this: file:///C:/My%20Documents/My%20Pictures/Adobe/Photos%20from%20Removable%20Media/PHOTOS%20-%203031963568/boughto-R1-007-2.jpg

 

i dont see anyone nite shade the whole taillights or all the lights instead of jsut the clear part or is there a reason for this like the red/orange will show through during the day or something

 

here's my tinted tails. i bought some transparent windows testor from local hobby shop as well, sprayed 4 coats on it...but it gradually come off whenever i wash the car. now the tails are back to stock looking again

according to ludacris, VHT night spray tint will last longer and work better than transparent testor. i also bought transparent red vinyl to red out my tail. basically re-doing the whole tail again. i will post picture when it's completed.

lol ben

 

i heard clear coating the nite shade helps keeps it from fading...

happy.... thats pics is with 4 coats? i was trying to get mine darker so maybe i should go do 10 coats of that stuff or something

 

Red-clears after 4 coats of niteshades and one clearcoat, everything lights up fine..



10 coats will leave you with black tails...pretty tacky looking imo

 

can yo usand the nite shade if you mess up w/ overspray and such... im not a very good painter

 

i was at wally world a couple nights back and i saw a mercedes with the black and the read tail lights and it looked great

 

Whoa, Ludacris, did you remove some of the tint on yours? Looks a lot lighter than it used to. I know I've told you this plenty of times, but your car is friggin sexy.

 

i have my done also i'll post them up tonight
