I was wondering what the best way is to smoke out tail lights/ head lights and what problems could arise if I do
|
Best way is a mix of clear and black. The exact mixture is though to figure out.
I wouldn't smoke your headlights, though. Reduced visibility is not something to play with.
yea vht nightshade is the way to go probably. i wanna do it so badly. for the headlights though i have avs covers that are black so i can take them off at night
niteshades suck!!!
While it looks like you did a good job, Niteshades does suck. My tails were completely black when I did them 6 months ago and now it is all pretty much almost worn off and it looks like they just have a light smoke to them. And they do have clearcoat over them too.
1/2 oz black to 7 oz clear if you want a light tint.
1 oz black to 7 oz clear if you want a medium to dark tint.
still too light add additional coats till your satisfied.
then use 2 coats quality clear.
Sanded the tails completely, taped off the reflector and rubber, 1 coat nightshades, sanded, 1 coat nightshades, sanded, 1 light coat of clear, waited till clear got tacky so additional clear had something to hold on to, 1 heavy coat of clear, waited till dried, wet sanded, buffed with 3M, waxed.
You must have gotten a bad batch then or used a cheap clear. These are three years old now and I did them myself.
what brand of clear do you recommend? also, any tips for wetsanding when finished? i ordered my vht nightshades about 2 days ago, and it should be in any day. i want to make sure to do these right!
my nightshades is in! what brand of clear should i use???
What grit do you guys use to wet sand. Looking at doing this as soon as it warms up.
what kind of exhaust tips are those i like them....
uses Automotive clear & not a spraycan. Spraycan will look like sh** down the road.Here automotive clear
plus I would throw VHT nightshade in the trash..Theres better ways to do them then with that stuff..
