I find that a mild tint really makes the light more noticeable when lit. Don't go to dark tho!

[@yourmother7855]

Ok. Waaaaaaay better than videos I see of other dudes putting just the night shade no peel tint and messing theyre lights up. I havent seen anyone get it right until thisss video. I am using your method. Thank you

Welp. Now that spring is in the air and its not freezing, I have come back to watch again because I am going to do my own lights today using your method :) I have already done alot of Plastidipping to eliminate the chrome on my Infiniti. Im excited for this! Wish me luck!

[@yourmother7855]

@@tintdr yeah, sure did, sold the Infiniti and have an E class now, blacked it all out lol haha, the clear peeling base coat is the key

Any videos on blacking out your chrome? Just interested

I've used the lense tint and it took a lot of coats but it does get dark

[@rhettdopwell9367]

I have been thinking of using other peel coat products but I am apprehensive because many say it should be removed after 6 months. This may not be for the tint product here but do you know if it's thar bad? Is there any treatment thar makes it last?

[@NeroHero07]

every time you do a coat I think thats it no more, then BAAMM another coat

[@robertjebediahfreeman]

Lmao 🤣 same

[@justjayjustjay5054]

Did you ever do a video showing this on the truck so we can see what it looks like & with the lights on?? I can't find it if you did.

[@llmexicanlm7885]

Going to be using your method today! But i'm going to mask off the taillight where the brake/turn signal sits and try to make a pac-man style design. Don't know if i should do pac-man on the other or bring in Ms.pac-man. We will see!

[@stevenr7272]

Great video, I'm just trying to darken my headlights a bit because of some new LED bulbs. Do I need the Night shades step if I'm just going to want it gray but not blacked out?

[@briceymofo7640]

Just to confirm wait 10 minutes between coats

“That’s it” 😂🍾

can you make a video of peeling it off?

Hey man great video, is there an alternative to the rust oleum peel coat as I can’t find that anywhere here in the UK, not even on Amazon :(

[@tintdr]

Not sure

Will this work on headlights

Hold up just fine man

Thanks pal

[@allenplant1702]

How long did you wait between the peel coat and the night shades? I waited 10 minutes, first coat of night shades cracked all over the place..

[@tintdr]

I go back and forth Florida to N.Y allot, no issues

[@bendersback]

@@tintdr I had the same issue, when I put my first coat of VHT on it cracked all over the place....

[@tintdr]

@@bendersback did you do a light coat? Also did you leave the can out in the sun? And did you do it on a warm summer day with light humidity???

[@phenomymous]

I put window tint on my lights. Easy, fast, clean and never came off. 5 minutes per light

[@JA-ii2ic]

You needed a heat gun tho right?

[@jonfuller4923]

How has this held up? How much light is allowed through afterwards?

[@JeremyCrescendo]

Buy brighter lights before u do this

[@tintdr]

I installed LED and its been great and very bright

[@henrylong45]

Excellent. I think I'll try this with my Jeep first. Then, my Mercedes. Where do you get the Rust-oleum Peel Cote Lens Tint? And, where do you get the VHT Nite-Shades? How much does each cost?

[@chevywilliams958]

You haven't been to the auto parts store alot? Or even walmart car section

[@tintdr]

Check the description, amazon, auto part store etc

@@tintdr I asked the question SIX MONTHS AGO. And, you answered SIX HOURS AGO. For others who are reading this, this is the problem with people who post videos and don't respond to questions or comments right away. They aren't of much value!

What grade sandpaper would you use

[@bobbyopalewski6642]

I’m just curious should I put that lens coat on or it doesn’t matter? Does it make it not look as “painted” Just wondering what it’s exactly used for

[@bobbyopalewski6642]

I see people using one or the other so just not sure why to use both? No hate at all just wondering, looks great!

[@tintdr]

@@bobbyopalewski6642 The rustoleum eliminates the need to wet sand etc, makes it tacky for the night shades, and if you mess up you can then peel it off. If you use The night shades and mess up or go to dark etc. Thats it man.

[@benmartin4489]

You don't need to sand. You don't need peelable, just spray it and if it looks shit use alcohol to clean it, that simple. Stay away from anything peelable, I spray as a job and your making it worse.

[@neildeatherage2269]

​@benmartin4489 so your experience just use the nightshade, don't prep with the rust peel product rec here? What about after the nightshade? Wetsand or any clear spray to seal? Thanks for your approach

[@benmartin4489]

@neildeatherage2269 a clear coat lacquer will be fine. just a thin layer. Always let it dry before applying an additional layer of any type of spray. I didn't wet sand before I applied it either and haven't seen any difference in my girls car. ( she wet sanded) it's been on 5 months and no peel. When you want to get it off, mask your car up and spray alcohol on the lights and leave it soak a few mins, apply some more and let it soak then get a scrubbing sponge and go to work.

[@blaqlionking6978]

How has this held up for you now that it’s been a while???

Great, no issues at all

Thank you it helps a lot but I'm going to have to put you on pause because I have to go make my car look sex!

[@15DurangoRT]

The "right way" to tint your headlights and taillights would be to apply some headlight and taillight tint/vinyl to them.

[@relaxingsounds6019]

What if you put 2k clear coat on top? Will it affect it peeling off?

[@tintdr]

It may

[@slow_rednline4874]

Of course it would 2k is not flexible at all .it would come off but it come off in little pieces

Now I know other people sand it, then spray it with clear with a touch of black. Then wet sand and polish. I know. With doing it this way. No need for all that.

[@adammitchell6606]

Lens tint suck by it self more then 1 can to get the job done

[@billdempsey9704]

Why wouldnt you just use the peel coat lol

[@tintdr]

Because its light and is honestly no good other then tacky and gives it a knockdown texture so when spraying VHT it adhere,s very well. Also so whe. You want to remove it, you added the peel coat first

[@angel-iy7te]

That’s it

dam you really use bounty paper? that shit is expensive as of now Lol #fuckcovid19

[@benmartin4489]

I professionally spray for a living. The only advice i would suggest is to never use that peel stuff. Alcohol spray will wash it off either way

[@tintdr]

Thats the point, to be bale to remove it

[@gregorynazario1249]

The Rustoleum Peel Coat Lens Tint a terrible product! I wanted to give it a good faith try. I applied it to my 2015 Golf. I applied about half a can to my two rear tail lights (7 to 8 coats) and almost a full can to my front headlights (about 12 to 14 coats). You can hardly tell the lights have been tinted. I spent a lot of hours properly prepping and applying. The spray remains slightly “tacky” to this day. After a few gentle car washes there appears to be water streaks on the lights that will not come out. I can’t wait to remove this product. Do not purchase! What a waste of time and money.

[@tintdr]

Use it as a prep coat

[@slow_rednline4874]

Agreed all of the Rust-Oleum peelable products are trash .i used it on my wheels and trim it came off and was just a shitty experience..

[@tintdr]

You should have used it as a prep coat only like I showed in the video and then the night shades

[@fatherof3792]

I used it like you said and it still peels off in patches. Alot of prep work for nothing...🤬
