Anyone do it or know anyone that does?

 

i know you can get translucent black vinyl to smoke your tail lights at rvinyl.com or r-vinyl.com, whatever it is

 

Like that? Many volvo guys have it done... it doesn't take much except for paint and a clear coat. Of course, you CAN get more technical.

 

don't use regular paint. Buy some stuff called "niteshades." most tuner shops can get it for you, or you can order online. You lights will look glossy black, but still let lots of light through. Using regular black paint and clear coat makes your tail lights really hard to see on a bright day.

 

the place i work at can order you a car specific kit. Its some nice stuff, the tint paint will peel off, trust me. If your interested in quality then give us a call, its a special film. PM me if your interested or you can call the store at 581-8752, store is called GraphX and my name is Jon. Peace

 

Anyone else?

 

The paint I am talking about will not peel. I have been using on my cars since 1995. The first car I did, a black f-150, still looks great. Glossy like new paint, and that truck has been through many rough New England winters. Try this niteshades stuff. It is going to cost you $8 a can at the most, and you wont need more than one can, maybe two if you spray alot. The key to getting a very glossy black shine is painting very light coats on a dry low humidity day.

Unless your tail lights are completely flat any kind of film will be a pain in the ass to use.

 

Do you have any pictures of the results from you using this?
