tail light film question..
I have my windows tinted, had it done at a local shop. Can they use that film on taillights as well?? Or do I need to see if they have a special film? If it's a special film what are some reputable brands?
Thanks |
Ask the shop. As far as I know it won't work.. or atleast not very well. You'd need a special film for the tails.
|
The tint used for windows is not thick enough to withstand the weather and wear. That is why the vinyl is nice and thick on the headlight/taillight films.
|
any suggestions on what film to get for them?
|
I have 6' of red vinyl tint I can sell you. It would look nasty with the blue. PM me if interested.
|
go rvinyl or lamin-x
|
what about this tint off rx8strakes? (ebay) its pre-cut for the tails..
|
I had Lamin-X... It worked great... but was insanely hard for me to get it to stick around the corners of the tail lights.. kept popping up... but they are a good company, sent me a new set when I told them the trouble I was having.
|
try nightshades spray tint. ive used it on my last two cars. works great and alot easier than tint.
|
just get them tinted with paint. i did that to mine. wont look the same if u use the film.
|
I would not suggest using the spray tint as I've now painted my tail lights twice with it and both times it fades in about 6 to 8 months.
I'd find a local paint shop that can do it for you and have them painted. The finish will look much better and it will last. |
I did my own lights with a spray... The tint was just too aggrivating after time.
Didnt use paint, used ink and an airbrush... hasnt faded or anything and its been about three years now. |
I used lamin-x. PITA to do though.
I've always been curious if a very light spray tint could be done evenly and without looking brown. Never been a fan of the black out look. |
keep in mind tho that a film is much easier to remove if cops give you trouble. Just a thought.. cuz ihave been thinking of doing this to my car
|
The paintshop I go to puts a tiny bit of black paint in clear and then sprays the lights.
