HOW TO: Nightshade/TINT/BLACKOUT taillights

[kammi10]

i had covers joel but one flew off going down the road and i lost it so im done with them

[Fenixbloodstone]

I have found Niteshade online but does anyone know where I can buy it at which store, online it can take up to 7 business days to arrive. I really don't want to wait until middle of next week. It would be great if they shipped this over night, but "The part is classified hazardous."

Anyway a local place would be faster.

I was looking to just go and get it tomorrow... But That don't look like it will happen... I have looked everywhere and called about a doz places today... Most of them didn't even know what I was talking about...
I will have to just wait.. "NOT A STRONG SUIT WITH ME"

Yeah, GVVS will hook you up. I think I got it in a few days. I'm an impatient person, and I didn't have a problem with the shipping time.

Nice write up there is also a great write up on ls1tech. you can also wet sand or buff them for the extra shine at the end.

I actually did one on LS1tech too, of coarse this was after I found out there was already one on there.


But there is a place called Parts Peddler here in Chelsea, you can get it for 10 bucks a can and they usually have it in stock if not then they get it next day.

Okay Here is a shot of my tint this photo was taken at night and in the dark, also the car is very dirty. I am going to give it a few days and then polish up the lights. I will need to get a little brighter lights I hope I get them next week! I didn't tint the backup lights as much as I did the rest of the lens.

^^^ Looks good man! Post up some pics when you get them wet sanded and buffed out real well. Hope you put a good amount of clear on there!

When I had the bodywork done on my Bird, the painter went ahead and did the shading with thinned out black. I did a wet sand with 1000, 1500, tehn 2000 grit, then buffed them out. Turned out pretty nice after all that. Granted the black looked good (Car's black), but with taking 696 everyday, I found the hint of red in the day and when the brakes and/or running lights are on, it's like they aren't even shaded worked the best. 'Course, I turned around and went uncoated with LEDs in most of the sockets. Got the shaded ones up for grabs BTW.
