Title: Tinting Rear Lights
Post by: zdebx on 14 March 2010, 19:14

I'm thinking to make some custommade Hella Crazy Colors, but have no idea how to tint lights. Is it difficult or easy-peasy?

Want to do something like this:

Hella Crazy Colors?

Do you mean Color Magic? lol

It's simple enough to do them dude, I did a set last year, this was before I lacquered them

Just didn't think they looked so good on the car

Red tint spray
Black tint spray
Masking tape
Very fine wet & dry sandpaper
Lacquer
Lots of time and patience

Kinda speaks for itself??

I wanna do another set!

I'd have to check, I just bought a project pack from Halfrauds and used the finest one out of there :grin:
