Tailights again

[MustangMatt96GT]

Okay so the first ones werent dark enough! Here are them again! I also did the side marker on the side.

P.S. Dont mind the 3 inch wheel studs. I am getting spacers soon, aswell as some bullitts.

need to clear coat them, but they look like they came out good. O0

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

they have 4 coats of clear coat on them. Its wierd, it doesnt look like it has it on there. The duplicolor clear coat is what i used.

 

[AaRoN]

looking good man! what did you use?

 

[19mustang95]

that is wierd, did you use a flat clear? and did you leave the lights on teh car when you painted them? it looks like there is some red outline.

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

VHT niteshade and then duplicolor clear coat. I thought that the clear coat was wierd too. And i took them off, they are a little transparent still in the correct light, and thats why you see a little red.

Yes, that looks awesome. Don't even look tinted, I love VHT O0

 

[NotQuik]

did you try wet sanding them and buffing them afterwards?

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

no to much work LOL

 

[Late4Work]

looks really good

 

[scarface]

looks too flat.

Looks like poopy because they look too flat...to do it properly you are suppossed to sand the light first, then spray, then wetsand and buff the lights

 

[MustangMatt96GT]

I sanded the lights first, sprayed it on, and then clear coated them.

ok i cant sit here on the sidelines anymore and listen..

#1 VHT is poo poo
#2 Your taillights are still dull cause your not close enough/not putting enough clear on the lense, its what we call "Dry Spray"
#2 DO NOT...i will repeat. DO NOT... wet sand rattle can clear. Im sure alot of people do, but if your not a professonal at it i wouldnt suggest it at all, the reason being is there is no sure fire way of having that clear lay even and thick. It will be heavy in one spot and thin in another, and you will burn thru the clear.

but hey its your car...im just letting yall know what i have learned from 6 years of custom paint and tailight tinting.
