I tried that VHT stuff once and i dont know what i screwed up but it just looked reall really bad and i had to buy a new light housing.

I want to get the lights and that middle piece painted/tinted the same color.


Any write up on how to do this?
BTW i did search and went through the first 5 pages LOL

 

Did you clear coat and polish the vht you applied? After three coats of VHT, I applied three coats of clear. The lights were still fairly dull. I waited a day and then used a polishing compound on them. Here is my results.

 

You might be able to tint them with window tint. Make sure you use a heat gun so you wrap the film to avoid wrinkles. Just avoid scorching your hand. I tried this one time, but I only had a hair dryer and it didn't let me stretch the wrinkles out.

 

No, no clear coat last time. I did it when i was first getting into cars. I think i might have contaminated it with the cleaner i used because it looked almost like oil ontop of water.

Can they be polished by hand?

 

Just do it the cheap and easy way, gto covers

Hope mine turn out well. Ordered some vht along with some other go-fast goodies from summit moments ago... Maybe I can practice on the ole' 95 monte first

 

I htink i am just going to try the night shades route on the spare set of tail lights i have, if i cant get it to look good a local body shop will do all the lights for $125

 

do not wet sand the tail lights with 100 grit. that is a horrible horrible typo. that will ruin your tail lights used 1000 grit to wet sand and no less than 1000!
