i tinted my tails today THEY LOOK AMAZING !!! i had to keep adding black to the clear to get it how i wanted, because otherwise it would have taken me about 30 coats to get it how i wanted with the amount i had, also there was 2 or so runs in the light they were flat but since i was messing with the color amount i accidently ran the lights, no big deal you cant tell so much, they are still sitten in the booth as i type this, i will get pictures tomaorw so everyone can see them,

note: they are some eye candy !!! lol i love them

awesome! Cant wait for mine!

Im assuming that you got mine ok? so that you had your core

yeah i got yours, and WOW THEY WERE DULL sorry to say, i have yours in my car now because i want myn to sit over night to harden for shure, i will have to spend some time sanding to get all the old color off of yours, did you know one was kinda cracked as well at the top? looks like it was there and tinted over, do you want me to do the same ? also you have some bad delamination, i will sand and try to tint and cover it all up.

Prices! and pics!
I been wanting mine touched up , since I have delamination, nothing elese. No moisture. I just don't want to buy new ones when I can cover these up with something and look good.

im unshure about prices at the moment because ordonez sent me them as loaners until myn were done and for doing that i said i would redo his, its almost to the point were i will work for car performance parts lol the only reason why i got to do myn today is because i had a free day at school and the booth was open, otherwise i have to wait and do this at my parents house which means longer turn around time and more dirt in the paint but i do the best i can. trust me im going to get pics up asap!!!

Yeah, i know. They are crappy. The clear never came out very good, and the florida sun faded them.

I had already sanded them a bit before i gave them to you, so that explains why they are even more dull than they were on the car.

And dont worry about the crack, its pretty small, and its been there for years.

Thanks man

ok ok, gosh i cant wait until i can put up some pictures of them i have pics on my cell but not on my ditgial camera.

type ur most basic writeup 4drgt....like paint used and quick steps nothin too crazy

1. remove tail lights
2. wetsand with 500G paper
3. let dry and clean with PPG DX103 cleaner
4. mask off
5. PPG clear 2021 mixed accordingly
6. add basecoat black i just played my ear how much
7. clean again with DX103
8. spray one coat
9. wait
10. Spray again
repeat until color you want.

11. 3 coats of untinted clear
12. let dry

What is PPG DX103?

its like an anti static cleaner / degreaser

you cant use standered degreaser because it soaks into the plastic and ruins when you paint

Denatured Alcohol?

yeah basicly

and they even look better in person ... there is alot of sun/ glow on the car now

Does that block your lights shining thru at night at all?

not really, its basicly clear coat automotive paint tinted black

Cool, looks great in contrast with the white.

can i see some pics of them at night to see how dark i want mine?

edit: I think they look a bit better than mine did.

yeah they were. yeah i will take some pics tonight as well ... i love them

awesome man. Now im excited to put mine on my car..

just so something on it will look somewhat decent.

that looks good.. i wish mine were a little flatter... like my clear coat isn't very smooth but that's cuz i went the rattle can route... but i might redo mine again later... or send them to you...

very nice!!! I love em!! ok quick threadjack, i want to remove my emblems and how do i take them off without scratching or leaving reminants?..

^Searching is your friend.

fishing line works good.

I found that Plasti Kote's grease & wax remover and a magic eraser works great on getting the glue residue off.

yeah can clear sucks for the most part just depends on what you use it on, i got the stuff to start to work on yours tonight im gonna start wetsanding them gotta try to get the old stuff off

as you can tell, rattle can clear blows. Mine were done with some rattle can clear and thats how they came out while wetsanding too

i have to wetsand all of it off to get to the stock color then i will do the tint

alright man... thanks a bunch

yeah not a problem, for letting me use them its the least i could do ... but i will tint for car parts

worked for about 45min on one light sanding wow did that suck 1 down 1 to go

I love it, hopefully mine will come out like that.

wow yours didn't even dim... they almost look brighter lol...

i like alot! i want mine done like that....lol mine r so NOT shiny...lol

how much you charging for this? i have a set that need resealed and have some delamination (im guessing thats what its called)

they would be great for tinting

idk what to charge yet, i would need to figure that out, i dont know how to stop the delamination, i guess i could put silicone or something into the edge to keep from water getting into there

awesome man. I want mine just like yours. Im amazed at the light output that yours have

yeah i was too, they look really good, its kinda hard to see the running lights during high noon but i figured that would prolly be normal
