How To Tint Tail Lights - Film vs. Spray

Salaam. Does the spray tint have a gloss once it dries?

[@EhabHalat]

If you do even solid coats you will get a gloss finish or spray 2k clear on top

[@SilkCityOG]

@@EhabHalat how many coats? Do I have to sand or clean with alcohol again?

[@EhabHalat]

One light coat followed by a solid wet coat and thats all no need to clean if u sprayed tint already

For Spraying method ;; If you're not sure how dark or light you may want yours . . Turn the taillights on while tenting so that you get a better vision on seeing how much you want it or how less you prefer it.... I once did it this way and made it much easier to see how it's coming out. ..

[@ciphernemo]

I've enjoyed the spray tint process. With spraying, it's possible to get the level of tinting you want, and it's easy to mask off different parts of the light to get different levels of tint on clear vs red plastic light housings.

[@Ecuador006]

Able to restore it back to original ? Just curious 💚

[@dutcharduino2806]

@@Ecuador006 the video says the spray is removable. Probably a solvent cleaner. Plastic is easy to restore also with compound and buff

[@tdtommy196]

@@Ecuador006 that's my biggest concern too. I like the way the spray looks. It looks IMHO way better than a wrap. But, let's face it, none of us are going to be tinting our tail lights for "off road use." I need to know that I can get it off if the Dunkin Doughnuts crew demands it, without wrecking the lights.

[@Pacman-ho4nm]

Its not hard to remove if you DONT use clear coat... just use brake cleaner or a bit of gasoline..EASY!... If you do use clear coat like I did (2KClear) it will last a long time.. Ive had tinted tailights on my silverado for 2 years... still looks good.

[@user-lw8jk6nv7l]

I've always done a spray tint when restoring headlights and taillights for friends with rustoleum. I'd sand the original clear completely off and spray with the tint, and then go over with a good, wet layer of 2k clear with 2 or 3 layers. This has always worked for me and given an extremely deep shine after polishing and waxing. And it works with any shade from a light smoke to full blackout.

[@EhabHalat]

Well said. I sprayed 2k over my G35 tail lights for the first time and they turned out so nice! Adding that 2k definitely makes a huge difference in appearance and durability!

Spray tint it's like closed eye no different color until you turn lights on 😍😍

[@bertpittman19811]

I still say its easier with one person removing the tail light and placing it a vise of some sort. That way the vynal can wrap all the way around, leaving you with a longer product. Ive seen so many wraps that you can see the edging ends..

[@Dmaaaain]

The spray can easily stay on longer then wrap.. first of all I always take of the lights to get the paint all around the corners.. second, I finish with a 2K clear coat to make a perfect and much stronger finish! And therefore I can also polish it if it gets wash scratches! And I can also decide how dark I want it with spray.

This combined with some LED bulbs with built-in resistors is a great combo. The LEDs are bright enough to shine through the tint like it's not even there and don't hyper flash due to the built in resistors. And you'll never have to change the bulbs again, which minimizes your chances of scratching or damaging the tint

My Aussie VF series 2 Calais Sports wagon. (Chevy Camaro SS) Has big complex tail lights that have a convex bulge in the middle with a fairly sharp edge at the bottom. The Vivid wrap was near to impossible even with a second person using the heat gun. Smaller flatter tail lights the Vivid wrap would be achievable with patience with another person handling the heat gun duties. I have to resort to using the VHT tint spray with a few coats of gloss clear coat for longevity.

With the clear coat how long does the tint and clear hold up? I have a 10th gen which the tail lights look like a pain for tint film. Thanks

Ive had mine done for two years with clear coat and no issues! Just make sure u do a light coat followed by a solid coat of 2k

Update. The vivid wrap just takes practice,patience and perseverance to self apply. The key is sufficient heat to mould and stretch working out any air bubbles. With care it will look way better and last indefinitely. Over any tint sprays.

Every light can be tinted with vinyl, and imo it looks way better and has a better finish, plus easier install and last more then the spray. I’ve been doing this for 4 years now and definitely is better than spray

[@sorrowdada]

OG Smokin nope, the heat will only make it worse in the ones he did because it’s overstretching the vinyl, that specific one he could’ve done it way easier and faster. You only need heat when vinyl can get around with ease. Plus it takes you more time cutting actually than laying the vinyl in those.

[@sorrowdada]

OG Smokin yes reposition it as many times you want to make it flat, dont use heatgun unless is a really hard curve. Basically hold the vinyl and work your way out slowly laying it down so you dont get any bubbles. Look for ckwraps or justin pate, they are amazing people to learn from.

[@sorrowdada]

OG Smokin also I recommend if it’s the first time to use a scrap sheet of vinyl and play with it, so you get confident and understand how it works. Believe me I’ve done both of them tints and the vinyl looks way better in person.

For the spray tint usually a product called goo gone will work but might fade the lens on the light so would have to do a wet sand and clear coat them again to make them look fresh

[@dilix95]

hey mate, can you remove the spray tint over time?

[@EhabHalat]

Dilan05 hey, yes you can with a product called “goof off”. Make sure its the one safe on plastics. Wipe the surface right after with 50% rubbing alcohol to remove the remaining goof off off the tail light lens surface

[@dilix95]

@@EhabHalat found the product, cheers for that

[@e_yiizy]

For spray tinting, would it be wise to add clear coat after the spray tint has dried??

[@EhabHalat]

Yes i have starting doing that and it makes it way more durable and better looking

[@purolanpastori]

l like red taillights way better overall, but i hate nothing as much as orange in taillights. best looking taillights imo are e39 sedan white/red lci taillights.

[@BlessedVeteranAdventures]

I did this to my 87 firebird, It turned out great. Im thinking of doing it again to a 99 civic.

[@EhabHalat]

Awesome thats great to hear

[@nickg6312]

when you spray a tip is to open your trunk so you got less taping to do

I dont have a heat gun.. could I use a hair drier as an alternative

[@theblock5830]

Yes, but it won’t be as good as a heat gun

[@marcusbellamy3469]

Great work! Doing the film tint on my C300 soon

[@Mo_Ra_007]

Well, I’ve used a rubber tint spray (Peel-able kind) and I’d say it’s way better using the film than the spray. Because the spray faded after awhile and when it’s cold outside too! It made my car look ugly. Idk maybe because I got the peel-able one! But I don’t want to risk it again. I want to do my B7 just like that but with film only.

[@EhabHalat]

Medo Zak the peelable tint is really bad! If you use the VHT spray tint it will be better. It does fade over time but can be refreshed with a few extra coats. Very inexpensive way to tint your tail lights and very easy.

[@allenmaccay5421]

How you doing ? great video Thanks I know now which way to go Thanks for takin time to show me,,!! Now Get out Here Have a beer...@@EhabHalat

[@EhabHalat]

allen macCay appreciate it but i dont drink haha

[@espartansniper2835]

Very helpful 🙏

[@FranchiseSIX5]

I have a 2004 Durango that has 2 round bullets with complex curves. I think the spray will be way easier to apply.

[@ptatohed4471]

What would you recommend for a 2017 Infiniti Q50? How do you remove the NiteShades spray, if needed? No wet sandpaper needed for the NiteShades spray? Thanks.

[@EhabHalat]

It all depends what you are experienced with. The spray tint is easier and all you need to remove it is a product called “goo gone” or 99% rubbing alcohol

[@Muhammad-og9xg]

@@EhabHalat will the rubbing alcohol or the goo gone product scratch or discolor the taillights while removing?

[@EhabHalat]

Muhammad as long as you only use 50% rubbing alcohol and water mixed and for the goo gone make sure it says “safe on plastic” then you will be fine

[@joeyj5495]

This look so good!!

[@EhabHalat]

Thanks

[@damianramey5601]

So have you tried spraying this on and then covering with a clear coat for layered protection??

[@EhabHalat]

Damian Ramey hey! Yes of course you can add a clear coat on top for added protection!

[@damianramey5601]

Liquid Dipper have you tried something like that? I’m curious about the results over time with the color fading.

[@EhabHalat]

Damian Ramey i haven’t but i have seen other people try and it does help reduce colour fading over time

[@mattp733i]

Adding a 2k clear coat over the vht nitshades then wetsanding with 2000 grit, then buffing and polishing will come out like a mirror and will make it last a long time. I've done it. I've had trouble applying the film to tail lights and its frustrating but, maybe I just suck at it.

[@millermatic140]

I was about to ask same thing. I may try that when I paint my truck

[@cujoedaman]

I wonder if you could seal the sprayed lenses with a 2-part clear coat, like SprayMax 4K to keep them from fading.

[@EhabHalat]

Yes you can! I use 2k spray max clear gloss after im done with the spray tint

[@cujoedaman]

@@EhabHalat err, yeah, 2K, not 4K :D

[@EhabHalat]

Cant tell if your being sarcastic lol no such thing as 4k

[@victory_mob186]

Finally a helpful video 💯

[@EhabHalat]

Thanks!

[@hoobsgroove]

can you spray over with 2K lacquer wouldn't that be better longer lasting?

[@EhabHalat]

Yes you can

[@darshjitnarain2903]

Awesome tutorial video. Thank you for showing this how to. Could I please know what did you use to clean tail lights before spraying with tint spray and what do you use after to keep lights clean when tint spray is applied?

[@EhabHalat]

I use soap and water mixture and then 99% rubbing alcohol to kill any grease, dirt, oil left on the lens. To keep them clean just wash vehicle once a week

[@lianaventel2010]

using some soapy water on the tail light helps you move the film around easier, so you don't have to lift the tint. good job tho

[@EhabHalat]

Thanks for the tip :)

[@londonwatson7342]

Soapy wooder

[@raphealcrump4796]

Thanks for the video can i ask 2 questions? How does the film hold up against car washes? And how hard is it to lay film down and cut out shapes on the light... Like leaving red exposed and covering the silver?

[@EhabHalat]

Hey, the film holds up good in car washes as long as its applied properly. You can cut out shapes on the light but you need a steady hand and not too much pressure or you could damage the light lens. I would try to find a pre cut tint with a cut out shape that you want, made for your vehicle.

[@raphealcrump4796]

Ok thank you. Im an artist by profession so i could probably cut the shape out. But I'll look for precut first. Thanks so much for the info. Great channel my friend!!!!

[@blueskythinker1499]

Just gotta plasti-dip the Audi emblem and it’s perfect 👌🏼

[@TrigTrig]

I do car wraps and other vinyl work. Always find it interesting to see how much people stretch vinyl. IMO you're putting way to much extra stress on that film for no reason and i feel like it will retract pretty quick. Especially on a black car with dark tint on a hot and sunny day.

[@EhabHalat]

Its been fine since owned but been sold now so not sure how it held up
