Tinted tail lights using VHT Nite Shades (What about clear coat?)

zytariuk · #1 07-13-2003, 07:48 PM

Alright, last week I tinted my tail lights using VHT Nite Shades. However, it doesn't have that nice and glossy look at all...it's very dull. What type of clear coat will i need? Someone told me I need some kind of enamel clear coat...any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, where can i buy this enamel clear coat?

Your supposed to tint the inside of the lens.

Actually you're supposed to tin the outside of the lense. At least with this VHT Nite Shades stuff. Check it out http://www.pjhbrands.com/vht/nightshades.htm

Any automotive clearcoat will work fine. I just finished mine and they are quite shiny.

did you take your tail lights off the car when you tinted them or did you leave them on?

btw: sweet car gtx playa i just looked at your site.

I recently purchased nite shades for my Grand prix...(which can be viewed at http://members.cardomain.com/talia713) and I haven't applied it yet. Is there a certain way to make them shine instead of flat? Do I apply clear coat, and if so what kind? Thanks.
