badhaas ss Posted June 23, 2007 Report Share Posted June 23, 2007 all you guys that have tinted tails waht did you use on them. was it actual window tint or did you use vinyl. I talked to my tint guy today and he hasn't done a set before and we were going to try window tint first. oh and another question how long has your film lasted and has it discolored. if you guys would post some pics too that would be great cause im still trying to decide how dark to go with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badhaas ss Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 im not talking about smoking tails with paint. I want to be able to remove the film if i have to because the cops and hi-pos are dicks around here, i have seen some done before around the site, i just wanted to know what percent tint they used Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kissfans03ss Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 Nobody on this site ever used window tint on their taillights they have always been painted on but the more coats of paint you apply the darker your lights will be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 thats why i have a set of stock lights for insurance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badhaas ss Posted June 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 well i swear someone did it, cause if it would last it would be a great alternative that would be removeable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoolin Posted June 24, 2007 Report Share Posted June 24, 2007 I've seen the tint your refering too but I've seen it on rice rockets and imports. The tint looks really thick and has that "plastic" shine to it and ruins the look IMO. I was looking into it when I wanted my tails done but painting is the best way to go. And like chase said, pay $50 for a used set for insurance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big O Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 (edited) Nobody on this site ever used window tint on their taillights they have always been painted on but the more coats of paint you apply the darker your lights will be. You are partial wrong, not window tint, but a film/bake process ( not the cheap eBay stuff either ) ..... I had mine smoked with a film not the VHT spray ... IMO there is no comparision ... the film is 100% better then the AVERAGE smoke spray ... VHT has been around since my 60 year old dad was a kid ... I have seen it done a lot of ways ... anyways here is a picture of my old tails Edited July 7, 2007 by Big O (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SS Silv Posted July 7, 2007 Report Share Posted July 7, 2007 Big O, what kind of wax did you use on your SS? The reflection is crazy on your drivers side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
