used vht nightshade, came out really good, only bad thing is that the passenger side dripped a lot so i gotta re do it this weekend.

 

What did you paint the license plate with? J/K, lights look good.

 

the license plate is photobucket swirl paint, just go easy on it tho hahaha i always see people blur out or color out the license plate so i thought i would too i dont know why they do it tho lol

 

so do you paint the inside of the lens..or the outside?..

did you just rough it up and spray??..is it a transparent paint?.or what..lol.. and where did you get the paint..only VHT i've seen is the header and engine block kind..

 

yeah its called vht night shade and i had a hard time looking for it locally. first i sanded it down a little with some 3003 grit sandpaper ( i think it was 3003) and then i sprayed it on the outside.i let each coat sit for about 5-10 mins before re applying cuz the sun was strong when i did it. then after 4 coats i put clear but i didnt have to because the night shade by itself is pretty shiny if u dont go overboard with it and use too much but i used some clear just for protection agaisnt the sun. i put about 3 coats of clear and that was it.

oh and i got it at a local speed shop but ive only seen it online. its a wierd paint tho... it looks pitch black, but the light shines right through and u an still see all the light good when the brakes or blinker is used.

 

I have seen people use model spray paint they use to tint window on model cars. Local hobby shops have it

just another option

 

what kind of clear coat did you use?????..

i've been looking for a paint that is specifically designed to smoke tail lights and headlights..but havent found it until now..

im gonna see if the local parts store can order some for me..i get shop discount there..lol..(it actually does pay to know people.. )

 

Yeah it came out good and I like it a lot, just go easy and do light coats don't do heavy ones or it will drip, but if u don't find it locally you can get it at summit racing, and the clear I used was duplicolor clear, it was pretty shiny with 3 coats of it

 

Looks like a reason to get pulled over to me ... :2cents:
