IDK about your local area but here is something.

eBay Motors: VHT Nite Shades Black Out Taillight Tinting Spray Paint (item 120290682421 end time Aug-06-08 18:21:05 PDT)

what are you spraying, tail lights and third brake take about three cans, I would just take them to a paint and body shop for about 100 bucks.

i wanna tint the turn signals on the mirrors. dont know about the taillights though. dont think it will look good on the slate. what exactly do they use at the body shop to tint them if i was to bring them in? i still want them to function and not be blacked completly out.

They use black paint mixed with clear coat, syber has his done from a shop, they look really sharp. Hell I have enough left in a can for your signals.

Body shops use different amount of layers to determine how dark it is.

Mine are 5 layers

Syber's are probably 10 (honestly)


I would take it in and have them just do like 3 layers .. that would look sharp

I have tinted tail lights on my slate CM...I just did it last weekend and haven't posted pics yet...I'll do some in a few minutes...

Well...here ya go...did this last weekend, just took awhile to get it posted up. I know the slates will like this. Eventually I'm putting black rims on her, and either getting the bumpers rhinolined or PCd black...we'll see

oh yeah, vht is sold on ebay all the time, but they do have to ship ground bc of the aerosol cans...I know for sure that summitracing.com has it too. The just get a few cans of clear some soapy water and 800,1500, and 2000 grit wetordry sand paper for prep and finish work. Also a good wax that will buff to a high gloss shine. Project time = about 8 beers, difficulty = 15 beers, overall = 12 beers should do it for a first timer.

LOL, nice rating system.

And yea, mine are WAY too dark. They kindda grew on me though.

I did this to my jeep about 4 years ago and have not had any problems with fading, cracking, etc...so this time I figured I could go way dark and they'd be fine. I've never been hassled by police officers lived in San Antonio for 2 yrs then here in Anchorage for 2 yrs. Even SPs on base don't say anything.
