Would just like to know how difficult it is to tint original rear lights to pure black?!
I think they can be done by painting on layers of black paint and following that with a coat of clear lacquer paint. I also think you can paint on layers of red paint tint and that gives the same effect.
Has anyone tried either of these or heard of another way to do this?
dont do it mate, either buy some smoked ones or leave them standard, had them on my corsa when i first bought it n they looked crap even though they were done properly. swapped them straight away for some mhw smoked ones. still manged to sell the old ones for £20 tho!! lol
he just used black spray paint m8, I used proper proper black tint spray from motor-world but mine r crap ( check pix in my album ) as dust etc got on them so bodyshop guna do mine in future
so i\'ve got to sand them first with some wet and dry sandpaper so the paint has something to attach itself to?! As in the finish on lights aren\'t pure smooth?!
well i\'m gona have a go at doing it so i\'ll take some pics at the different stages and post them up if it turns out well! Thanks 4 all your help with it!
p.s. should it be a gloss finish balck spray paint i use?
i agree with chapcorsa, tinting your own with that spray stuff will just look tacky and cheap, you\'d be best of buying some mhw smoked ones, about £130 a set, but well worth it.
