7 Attachment(s)
hey, me and my friend just tinted my tails with vht today, i think it went pretty well, lemme know what you think.
i left it so you could see through a little, so i wouldn't get pulled over for having them totally black Attachment 258598 Attachment 258599 Attachment 258600 Attachment 258601 Attachment 258602 Attachment 258603 Attachment 258604 |
looks pretty good to me!
|
permanant??
|
yes, no films just spray
|
Not a fan of the dull appearance. You could polish them.
|
i just did them today, and i was searching online for ways to make them a lil more glossy, and suggestions?
|
light wetsand and polish.
|
and some clear coat
|
i tried clear coat and it came out grainy, so we just hit it with another vht coat and it evened out, so i didn't mess with the clear coat
|
looks good!! did you wetsand at all?
|
no sanding, jsut degreaser and cleaned. then strait vht spray
|
Wetsand after the vht to smooth it out. Then polish it.
|
Looks good. I was thinking of tinting mine red. I will probably go with the film though.
|
turned out okay other than needs to gloss it up.
i for one like the clear look of our taillights though, so not for me. |

^agreed, I like the way our taillights look. They would be perfect with about 35% tint on them though.
Like learycd's tails Attachment 258585 https://www.rx8club.com/rx-8-multimedia-photo-gallery-6/tail-light-smoke-need-your-opinion-148351/ |

Yeah films are a pain in the ass. But if done right looks amazing. If you dont have close to 6 hours of free time to spend. Then dont bother haha |
6 hours!? Damn that's slow. I could do it in 1 or 2 at most.
|
it's all about skill level, the better you are the faster it goes.
|
I want to do films, but i know i'd just get angry, crumple them up, and huck them across the garage after about 30 minutes of frustration. lol
