Tinting tails tommorow....
 

Hey I am going to tint my tails tommorow. I am using my CF tails that I had laying around. The seal is broke on one but I am just going to get some clear silicone to seal it up. Any last minute pieces of advice before I start spraying? I will take some pics tommorow to!

Find something to place the tails in while they dry cause dust and random flying crap will stick to the spray.

Yeah good call.... i thought about that but I am not sure what to use...

use a big box or something

yeah i used a box and just closed the top

i did the same. if you tape anything off, dont mess up, i did alittle, and i cut where i wasnt suppose to, and when i sprayed it, you can tell the mark it left.

yeah you don't want stuff messing spray paint cause it sucks

YUP! My cuzin made that mistake now his tailight look like it got dust on them permanently

Dont Mess Up!!!!!

wetsand in between steps... before you clear it..

cool thank you everyone! I am about to head down to the Hobby Lobby and get the tint. I'll take pics when i finish.

ok I have put on my first coat. One of them is running I think I was spraying to close....

ive got two cans of summit "vht nightshades" sitting in my attic. ive tried to do test runs on a cd jewel case but it always came out very matte like. i guess i should have sanded!? how do u wetsand what marterials do you need?

Probably 1000 grit sandpaper should do. You should get some clear cote and that should help it come out shinier.

I am waiting on the first coat to dry...I am doing this on some old after market tails I had laying around. No way I would do it with my factory lights.

I am gonna try sanding them after this coat.

Just for good measure :)

A good spot to let them dry is the oven. Dust free, just make sure no one turns it on.
