kinda tinted but not really
has anyone seen tail lights that are tinted but not tinted all the way. kind of like the blackline bmw tail lights.
http://www.dragtimes.com/images-clas...0543108966.jpg i want to tint mine but i don't want them 'fully' tinted. has anyone seen these before?? or if they could photochop something together? |
Check out AngeloSe3p .. Hes done that to this tail lights but his tints were alot darker :P Not my cup of tea if you ask me lol

venom's tints are totally blacked out. not the look i'm going for. and i know angelo tinted half of his tail light. not quite like the blackline bmw ones. i'm looking for a light full tail light tint but maybe more emphasized on some parts. just don't know which parts i would make darker. i don' tknow how to explain what i'm looking for hahah. like the blackline bmw ones are tinted, but the lines are darker.

I am completely confused by what you're asking...
|
On my old miata i was going for the same look. I used a film like window tint. Maybe try that but with a very very light tint? I say experiment!
|
I know what your talking about. I went light on my tint. not as light as that BMW but not nearly as dark as most. this might be a little darker than you are wanting. this is 2 coats of tinting paint with clear.

I remember seeing gh8st's RX8 and it had VERY light tint. Even lighter than the above RX8 and as hardly noticeable. If I recall correctly, he used one light coat.

I like the way it looks but I almost wish I had gone one coat more or less. But it’s perfect as far a clarity day and night. on my 3G eclipse I used a rattle can called "night shade" it turned out much the same way, a little darker though on a red tail light. I think you can still find it on the internet, but i would practice on something else first, allot of folks don’t wash the surface properly and it turns out all orange peely or dull in the finish. |

lol btw you could probably use the term "smoked" instead of "kinda tinted but not really"
|
but i'm not looking for smoked tail lights. hmmm maybe i got the wrong impression of the 'blackline' bmw tail lights. i always thought that they were sprayed with a very light tint, then another coat but only over the 'lines' and it was just another light coat. this way the 'lines' were more emphasized. i know our tail lights and the bimmer tail lights are very different, but i was looking for that kind of concept. i think this is a better explanation of what i'm kinda looking for. though i really like your tails ngo. it's there, but it's real subtle. i don't want it to be like BAM TINTED TAIL LIGHTS, yaknow??
i feel like my car is too white. i want some contrast in the tail light area, but i only want to tint them very little. and i noticed a lot of guys that do it get a gross brown color. or they go all the way black like the guy above. i'm not looking for either of these. i do appreciate the input though guys. this is really helpful for me. |
