This isn't really for me, more for my girlfriend's BMW, but I'm curious as to whether ANYONE on here has ever painted there lights with this stuff. It's made for a gun, not that cheapo aerosolized stuff.

Saw it at a hobby shop and the guys there said that everyone comes in and uses the stuff, I was just curious if anyone has seen it firsthand?

Thanks!

 

I used tamiya smoke paint on my BMW corners and reflectors.

 

Is that stuff already in a spray can or is it for a gun? Do you have some photos of that also?

Thanks.

 

i have tinted windows with auto paint before and cleared old faded headlights without a problem. don't see why this stuff would be any different

 

Its in tiny little cans. I dont think I have any pics of it since I have replaced it since but Ill try to dig something up. I just remember one can will do a small set of lights very dark.

 

make sure its legal in your area before you tint any parkings or headlights. Its a safety issue so "tint" at your own risk.

 

I don't understand why you would want to paint your headlights, and make them darker?

 

i dont think rc car tint is good for tinting lights. i did my tails on my old car and it started peeling/chipping not too long after. if you want to tint the lights i suggest you use smoke vinyl

 

I have head of guys using Stain glass paint from a craft store to paint clear corners to look stock.

 

the VHT niteshades works great. my buddy did his lexus tailllights with it and they look awesome. clear over top afterward

 

when you are painting plastic you need to do a good prep job and use a plastic adhesion promoter.

 

so will it affect my light output?

 

Yes it will

 

how much? i just bought the spray tint and did my marker lights..i just uploaded some pictures if you wanna see it but what if i just spray one laying on them?

 

Is that english?

 

Haha wow, I just read that over and it didn't make sense. I was wondering if anyone has sprayed one layer off spray tint on their headlights
