*this might be illegal, so do it at ur own risk.... i've got another spare of tailight, so i can swap it back anytime...
need:
* 1 can of 'Night Shade' tint
* 1 can of clear coat
* appropriate tools
* sand paper 180, 800, 1200, 2000
* masking tape
- remove your taillights... may be different on every car, so i wont discuss into detail here... please refer to your workshop manual... or just common sense... lol...
- mask the area that you dont want to be painted... and sand with 800grit...
- i cracked my tailight when im trying to take it off, so i fixed it with some plastic filler, sand it back, and im planning to paint matt black around that area to hide the flaw... so i mask that area off...
- then after i painted that area matt black, i masked them again, but remember to overlap... leave some bits unmasked... just hopefully you dont have to go thru this
- spray thin layer at the time of the night shade.... allow 1 minute drying time between each coats.... i did 3-4 thin coats... depending on your taste, you can go darker.... me, i'll go medium...
- after that, remove the masking of the matt black parts, and spray clear coat thru the whole surface... this will blend the matt black and nightshade together.... i sprayed 2 thick layers... or maybe 3
- heat gun is optional... dont burn the paint... i did it coz me and jase did the painting pass midnight and it was quite cold... u wont need this when its warm day...
- and now the bumper lights... repeat the same process for this...
finito!
THX TO:
Unco / Jason... for staying up 2 nights and helping me sand... now ur gonna get used to moving that hand up and down... lol... thx man...
