DIY: Smoke / Tint Tail lights

Smoke / Tint taillights or headlights with VHT Night Shades spray paint. This better than using standard or plasti-dip paint because it allow more light to pass through. This can is about 10 dollars at your local auto parts store but you can probably buy it online a little cheaper. It is also much easier to remove than if you would use regular paint or plasti dip
We use:
VHT Night Shades
Masking Tape
Newspaper
Bucket with water
Sponge
600 grit sand paper
Although you might be able to do this without sanding, it is not a good idea because the paint might not adhere correctly.
Tip: Try to practice your spaying on a newspaper before attempting on the actual headlight/taillight. Spraying to slow can cause dripping and over darkening of the tail light. Spraying too quickly might not allow enough paint to stick. It's betting to spray too quickly than to slowly because if you get a dip, it is a whole lot of work to fix.
IF YOU MADE A MISTAKE, watch my other video on removing the tint. If you are going to spray tint, you don't need to purchase the clear.
WARNING: Modifying your tail lights this way will obstruct the light from passing though clearly. In some states you can still get away as long as it is clearly visible at a certain distance. This also goes for the built in reflectors (So installing a brighter light isn't a solution). Be precautions as this may draw unwanted attention from police.

[@jalysavalentin5924]

How is this different from your previous smoke /tint video? Is it the paint and sand paper that you use different ?

[@cmacia06]

The paint in specifically made for this purpose and it was made to replace my old video.

All he needed to do was apply the brakes and have someone film it lol.

[@San-jose-Ruussh]

just smoked my taillight today with the same brand......but now i think i want the clear coat on it for a shiny finish could i do that later? maybe a month from now?

[@cmacia06]

Yes, you can. I use dupli-color acrylic enamel for clear. Clean the surface very well first. Just don't sand again and you should be good.

Christian Macias thanks for the responses. Looking at others' questions is helping me out

[@moisesalbutra2626]

i have a question can i appy that spray paint on the headlight?

[@cmacia06]

+moises albutra Yes. It works good and looks good from a distance but when looking at it close, it has a grainy look to it. I sprayed duplicolor clear over it and polished to give a glossy finish.

[@hotrodaallbbaa2343]

Where's the clear coat?

[@oscarm.4078]

Good ole EPT

[@aserodriguez1425]

You don't sand in a straight line that's bad advice. You ALWAYS SAND IN an X PATTERN to not create lines or cuts In the taillights.

That’s super ghetto

Dude. Paint the tailights outside in the sun. You will see better where u need more tint. And you gotta work on your spraying technique. Peace
