since 95 tails are ugly and i cant afford red clears, i thought i would try this with a 4 dollar can of window tint spray can. I got it at a hobby store because i didnt want to order nite shades online, its used for model cars.

btw i did this with leaving the tails on as you can see in the pics

i think it looks alright, let me know what you think:


(this first pic has one coat on already cuz i forgot to take pre-pics)

 

looks way better. how many coats?

 

9 coats, one every 15 minutes
the stuff i bought must not be as dark as nite shades cuz other ppl say it only takes 3-4 to get a complete dark effect
anyways it ended the same, just more time

 

Not bad; I'd like to see them close up sometime. Much much better than the stock orange. How's the light output?

 

i tried the hazards to test the yellow lights and it looked good, i might put some more coats on now tho because when the sun hits it, it just looks somewhat shaded and the yellow and clear shows through.

 

Lol good work at taping it off, looks good!

 

looks better than stock

 

Has anyone ever tried tinting the entire tail? Red and everything. I think it would look tight. Looks good BTW.

 

Looks good and familiar.

 

im gonna put a couple more coats on today because i dont think its dark enough, then im gonna clear coat it.

 

looks better than stock, thinkin about shaving the trunk?

 

ya most likely im gonna shave the burger and leave maxima. from seeing other ppl's i think that looks best. im actually putting a couple more coats on today right now and im killing time inbetween coats

 

heres some more pics of the *now* final product - 3 more coats (12 total)





still currently in process of clear coating so thats why paper is still on
and also the pics are small cuz im uploading on 56k

 

interesting!

 

I hope the lights will show still

 

now take you car to a body shop and have them professionally clear it. it will look 20x's better.

 

I think I liked the lighter tint better, but it is hard to tell with the masking still on. Either way looks much better than stock. Good work!
Post the finished product when you get a chance.

 

^^^ heres a pic of the finished product, the darkness of it all depends on how the sun is hitting it, as you can see its hitting the left but not the right in this pic. in the shade it looks pitch black but in direct sunlight it hardly looks tinted.
and yes gtr_rider the lights show though

 

when you clear it, you should clear the whole taillight assembly. that will it will match up much better. who knows how worn the lower part of the light is.

 

^^^good idea, that actually crossed my mind when i took the newspaper off and felt a little ridge between the red and black. that means im gonna have to tape it off a third time tomorrow....sheesh, oh well its worth it to do it right

 

looks good

 

i like the darker nightshade tint better, almost be black... but either way it looks nice, alot nicer than stock

 

It looks good! I used the niteshades and covered altezzas so when you turn on the lights, all you see is the round circles. Other wise they are completely black. The police have not bothered me here in Roswell but I am moving back to Las Vegas and they will pull you over for anything!

 

Lol...
I Jus Used Regular Window Tint On Mine 5%

 

looks really good, man. nice work

 

i think it would look better if you did the whole tail light.

 

looks great, I'm going to shade my tails soon

 

this is a really old pic and my car does not look like this anymore...but yes i have done it...

 

I should have pics on my cardomain page. My whole tails are tinted/painted. They were painted with PPG paint, and then cleared. Mine are 97-99 red clears though...I don't know if you just wanted to see 95-96's.
