Did some tinting

[Aztec Gold 97]

Tinted the 3rd brake light and the bumper reflectors... reflectors are still pretty light so I'll probably go over them again.

And I found a pair of these tails for really cheap so I figured I'd give it a shot--if it didn't work out, no big deal. I was trying to get them about the same shade as my headlights.

With the stock bezel...

Black bezel...

The jury's still out. I think if I run them, I'll use the black bezels--the others make it look... albino or something. For now though, I'm back to stock--red bulbs are on the way.

Also.. how can I smooth out the texture? I think they'd look better if they weren't as hazy lookin.

The Gold one on the left is much, much better.

You should sent them to KB to tint them...

I like it better with the gold bezzels.

I can't believe you put those tails on your hood with no towel under them, shame on you!

 

[Aztec Gold 97]

lol. Well, see, they're plastic. And I delicately placed them. No harm done.

With the tail lights I would probably put on another coat or two, and then wet sand and buff them out so that the finish is smooth and shiny.

 

[Aztec Gold 97]

I've never wet sanded before... I've heard that's what I need to do though. I'm trying to collect as much info as possible before I start. How soon after the additional coats do I want to sand?

I used NiteShades. You can get it on ebay for about $15.
For prep, I Windexed, then washed with the normal soap I use on the car. Professional, I know O0
As for the pic, I think I have one... I'll try to grab it off my camera a little later.
