Default Taillight tint

Well I decided to go out and buy some of that VHT taillight spray on tint. I tried it out on the taillights first cause those are the cheapest to replace. I think the stuff works pretty good. But dont do any more then one coat or it starts getting dull. Did both cars with one can (taillight, headlight and my rear side markers) and still have plenty left. I think Im going to tint the garage windows with whats left. Don't make fun of the wheels on the white one they are only on there till the car is finished. Also dont make fun of the height on the white one ther is no engine or tranny in it right now. Pick up the shortblock from the shop this week.


I know the pics kinda suck but i cant figure out how to make the picture clearer.

You could get it off with paint thinner.

When you can post some daylight pictures will you? I have been thinking about this for my tail lights and side markers. I got some 'cheap' (still cost me $30) tail light tints on ebay and after a while they get wrinkled around the edges. So I have to pull them off, wash, and re-apply. Gets annoying.

Tomorrow morning I'll take some of my car and post them. I bought the tint from ebay for 12.99

Looks good. Not too dark so you wont get rear ended but just enough to make a difference on the car. Good job.

Well I'm sold. Looks like I'll be getting some now. I assume you took the rear lenses out? What about side markers? Just mask em off?

it will look like complete crap in a few days if you don't clearcoat then sand/polish it.
