I have been thinking lately about tinting all of my lights. I was thinking, tint my clear corners, my side marker lights, and (I have an idea of how to do red/clears for a 95-96) and if that doesn't work, tint my tails as well. Also, I am going to get a set of sawblades from a friend and am going to gunmetal those and also use the same paint to gunmetal my front grill.

Check out my sig. pic and my cardomain to see if you guys think it'll look good. I'm debating all of this and am pretty optimistic that it'll all come together. Tell me what y'all think.

 

dont be a copycat......

 

i think itll look alright.

 

i like bijan's tails against the white... if you do smoke everything though, i think the most important part is getting everything you smoke to match... not one pitch black, and the other transparent gray... you know what i mean?

you should get rid of your altezza's too... this isn't the time of the fast and furious anymore... that was so 3 years ago... just my opinion...

 

I used the same paint for heads, tails, and corners...but the bumper lights have to be transparent. Niteshades....

 

hey soulfly did you spray the orange corners or you did it on the clear corners??

 

both...pictured are 1st gen clears

 

right i see what you saying. if i do it, they will all be at the same time with thte same paint.

im getting rid of tehaltezzas any day now, seriosuly. I have a good, very possible idea for the red/clears for a 95/96. if it doesnt work out, ill just tint the tails.

thanks guys, anyone else?

 

i think the same paint is a must, but at the same time? that won't have much to do with it besides drying time right?

im saying don't make one thing have the whole can of paint on it, when the other has one mist... just so they are still transparent, but smoked...

i think it would be funny if one was black to where you couldn't see through it, and the other was still transparent...

i think it should match, but that's just me...

 

gawd........why must this be so complicated...


DO what YOU want to YOUR car....it's as simple as that.

 

Make sure its legal first. In NJ its not.

 

i used 4 coats of krylon black plastic spray paint with 3 coats of clear coat and it came out perfect for my tails. i can see the lights through it and all, no need to spend the extra money on nightshades

 

so, all in all, what is the BEST paint for me to use?

 

agreed, i'll shut up...
