TAIL LIGHT TINTING!

[1quk50]

was wondering if tinting my 94 gt tail light would look good? with that vht stuff?

and does the bezel come off them?

 

[eliyarbrough]

I have no idea about tinting them, but I do know there are no bezels to come off! I'm sending my tails off to be tinted.

The bezels do come off on the 96-98s not 94-95s. I think they would look a lot better covered up, just because I am not a fan of the altezzas.

are you talking about tinting the tails in your sig? the altezzas? or a set of factory horizontal 94-95 tails?
either way tinted tails, especially on a dark colored car look good, the stock tails would be my choice though.

yea the stock ones.. def i hate the ones that our in it.. i just got a set of 94's but they were rough so i thought id sand em and black em out..

Buy 96-98 bucks and do it yourself.. I got quoted 75 to 100 bucks to tint everything so I did it all my self for about 20 bucks...

this is without the break lights on

ya same here but make sure you dont break the clips for the bezels cuz those things are pain to get off and go by steps theres a write up about it here somewhere. but use a good few coats of clear cuz i only used one and my tails look weird not reflective and stuff lol but do it! itl look good

 

[kingcato]

here you go, follow both of them for best results

I did mine myself, and all i can say is its very time consuming. I went the vht route, and theres alot of wet sanding/buffing involved in it. Mine still arent where they need to be, but i think their decent for a first time job.

 

[1quk50]

im just gonna use spray paint and clear on the bezels around my 94 taillights and just tape everything off the ill tape the bezel off and paint the lenses and clear em.. their looking ok, i sanded and sanded cause these were pretty rough... but ill post pics when im dun.. itll be prolly 2 marrow befor i get em 2 were i want em...


so how many coats of vht did you use? i was thinking 2 (vht) and 3 (clears?)

thats what theyll look like! haha..

nice car btw. what did you do to delete your wing?

 

[jEEd]

yeah tinting them is simple and looks pretty badass the 96-98 bezels come off but hte 94-95 don't so you'd have to mask it off.

 

[02gtvertible]

I cant remember how many coats. I used one can to do both. i beleive about 4 very light coats of clear....but its also not enough.

 

[94darkhorse]

I did mine not to long ago.





I did 2 coats along with 2 coats of clear. I also painted the bezels so it helps bring it all together.

The VHT stuff was time consuming for me doing them a first time but they do come out very nice

 

[chuxstang]

take your time and they look great..

 

[OnyxCobra]

I really need to do my tails...

some directions call for buffing and some dont, what's up with that? Obviously I'll take the way with no buffing if i can get a shine like that...

 

[duh09]

I'm pretty the only way to get them to shine is to buff them.

 

[NERD]

I did mine with black paint mixed with clear.
