Tinted Tails

FiFdYnUtZ · 03-28-2007, 11:54 AM

hey guys, recently i started tinting taillights on the side to make a few extra bucks with guys locally and on club grand prix and thought i should make a thread over here to see if any of you guys would be interested...

it consists of me prepping the taillights and spraying on VHT nightshades which is a transparent "tint" that will make your taillights look dark/smoked/black and still let light through (technically i have to say its for offroad use only) but i have had no problems or complaints with myself or others with light issues or the law.

I then use Dupont ChromaClear sprayed through one of the best spray guns on the market (iwata lph-400) to clear coat it and i wetsand out any imperfections...

I have done many sets locally and on clubgp...here are some pics

the price is $75 and you pay shipping to me, I pay for shipping back at ya...

pm me or respond here if interested

my aim is FiFdYnutZ
and my email is TyMx71@msn.com

thanks!

FiFdYnUtZ · 04-28-2007, 12:36 AM

I'll always be a fan of a GP or GTP.. damn they're nice. Just that body style tho.

How far are you away from Omaha, NE? I've had my covers for a about a year, and have had no problems with the law. Would you do front too?

FiFdYnUtZ · 05-16-2007, 11:35 AM

id prefer not to do headlights because i use VHT and it doesnt look right when used on the headlights....but i suppose i could do a custom mix with base/clear for the headlights if someone wanted..

Twinkie14 · 05-16-2007, 12:03 PM

I may be interested in doing this at some point, I'd like to find another set of tails though.

FiFdYnUtZ · 01-28-2008, 10:36 AM

**Jibo** · 02-14-2008, 02:30 PM

Definitely awesome results. But for that Price i'm just going to attempt this myself.

~~ultimate cccp~~ · 02-19-2008, 09:46 AM

Can you make a HOW TO: thread to make them come out this way?

jcp420 · 02-19-2008, 09:26 PM

How much does that paint cost and where can i get it?

woodplock7 · 02-20-2008, 04:19 PM

I'd be scared to try it on my own. lol
I may be intersted...give me a week or 2 to think about it.

FuriousG · 04-12-2008, 04:00 AM

I'll bite. I've got a set of GT tails siting here that I've been wanting to tint myself but I'm afraid I'll screw it up. I used the Vinyl tint on my stockers and while it looks ok from a few feet away, it looks like crap up close.

PM me the info for shipping and Paypal and I'll box up my spare set this week.

kbotk143 · 09-03-2008, 06:45 PM
