Im thinking about painting my tailights instead of smoking them along with all the side-markers what do you guys think and does anyone have picks

 

Everything on my car is hand painted from the lights to the rims by me. everywhere I go I get compliments, invitations to shows, and thumbs up from random people. I would definitely go hand painted because not only can you control how dark/light you want it but you get a pure custom look (and bragging rights).

Just be super sure you follow the directions on the cans. cover every near painted part of your car with something like newspaper because that tint mattes your paint and you'll never get it off after an hour! Also make sure your somewhere cool and your car is cooled off, I did my side markers in 120 AZ heat and it started bubbling. (But you can buff it out after it sets a while)

For my rims and grill I used headlight tint as well because I wanted that black chrome look and it came off BEAUTIFUL! just how I wanted it.

Also make sure everything is super clean, and I didn't use clear coat (looks amazing without it and it wont reflect at night so you can be completely invisible)

Ill add more pictures in a bit my phone wont allow me to upload them for you

 

my body shop guy puts a clear coat with a dark tent on them. find a shop and ask them about it. works really good.

 

here's some more...

sorry that they're not in order

but this entire look only cost me $33 (cans are about $11 each) and 4 days of work (I had to have it ready for a photo shoot).

 

Do you have HIDs? It seems like it would be almost impossible to see at night

 

Looks really good man!

 

No I don't have HIDs but I've been considering them. You can see pretty good except when there's absolutely no light around you, then its a little difficult.

Thanks, its breath taking at sunset ill get some better pics the end of this month with the Arizona sky

 

Gotta love the whole murdered out look!

 

Looks great man I'm doing mine with three parts paint 10 parts clear-coat and then doing a smoked headlight and buying a custom painted front badge it should turn out pretty nice

 

Awesome
I haven't decided if im going to put red on it yet, but if I do im airbrushing all of my own emblems red truefire by hand.

 

Looks pretty cool JetWolf. Good job!

 

Got it all done looks pretty awesome

 

looks like the car had some bad hot sauce

 

Thanks!

Turned out amazing! very clean.

BAHAHAHAHA! oh my goodness, that just made my day. Your right!
