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.

[@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!

[@wethepeople8280]

Does giving the tint job clear coats make it a more permanent application rather than just lasting a year?

Yes using clear coat will make it last way longer

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

[@dougarnold2121]

Id use Spray max 2k clear after vht. It gives you best results in a clear coat can and they won't fade.

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.

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.

[@wethepeople8280]

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

[@EhabHalat]

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

[@wazzzappening4848]

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.

[@skrtking3033]

I like how you did two different angles. Great job on both methods

[@sorrowdada]

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.

How does no one get this? Spray is for newbs that can’t *wrap* their head around application.. but if people wanna make my wrap jobs look better by spray painting theirs 🤷‍♂️ cool. Maybe they like that fuzzy inconsistency that all rookie spray-jobbers have. Do it right, even if it takes a few tries, looks multitudes better than tagging your ride.

The spray lights that I see look dull, you can totally tell that it's sprayed and to dark for me. I just want to go a little bit just to give it a nice look. I can by pre-cut film. But I am afraid of the darkness and if it covers the whole thing. The roll over for that park between the light and body. What do you think would be the best way to go. Thanks.

Many states have laws requiring a minimal amount of reflective material on the rear of motor vehicles. If you take the time to tint the reflective material within the tail lights, you might have to install cheap looking reflectors. Example - Washington State Law = RCW 46.37.060 - Reflectors - (1) Every motor vehicle, trailer, semitrailer, and pole trailer shall carry on the rear, either as a part of the tail lamps or separately, two or more red reflectors meeting the requirements of this section.

[@mohammedsajid9661]

No

[@bradglenn8814]

Yes. I’ve been pulled over and searched. In Utah. On I 80. And I 70. For blacked out tail lights.

[@TheEnd-eg6wq]

@@bradglenn8814 You've been pulled over twice for tinted taillights, your car was searched for a separate reason.

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

Doing mine this weekend! thanks for the video. very helpful

[@mixytv3258]

Can u make a video how it look

[@automies-zo5tz]

@@mixytv3258 I tinted my tail lights with spray

[@rjphllps7]

This is an awesome video. It makes a difference when the tail lights are has a ton of curves like the 2019 ram 1500 tail lights. When spraying, how do we reduce the tacky and smoothness of the lights?

[@EhabHalat]

Thank you! When using the spray tint you have to start off with a light coat and then medium coats. Make sure you are about 6-8 inches away from the light and do 50% over lapping coats for smoothest finish.

[@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

[@dangcab]

I know it's been a while since this video, but do you have any video like for the 2017 Camaro tail light that has some deeper areas?

[@EhabHalat]

No i dont but you will have to use the spray tint method for that vehicle

[@dangcab]

@@EhabHalat Thank you for the recommendation!

[@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 :)

[@MoWadi-in5kh]

Great video! I recently did the spray tint but I got some runs going on. Any advice how I can get rid of the runs?

[@EhabHalat]

Use rubbing alocohol or goo gone to remove it and redo

[@AndrewLeet92]

Vvivid vinyl is so stupid easy to lay, and as long as you're happy with the tinting shade they sell I'd do that a million times over spray painting, which tends to be very uneven if you're inexperienced with painting. Removing the film is also really easy if you actually do get pulled over.

[@AnthonyDunlap]

I tried the film. 2011 Cruze taillights are not easily wrapped lol I failed miserably haha

[@alexiscorr9927]

Try to use the film on a 2019 civic, you will change your mind, lmao

[@ITheNextLegendI]

Attempted on a 2019 Ram. That'd be a no go.

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.

[@cheerful_junior1146]

I’m curious about how fast the spray on tan fades in the sun if you don’t have a carport to park under?

[@EhabHalat]

If you add 2k clear coat ontop of the spray tint then they wont fade

[@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

[@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!!!!

[@jarrettkeller9622]

When the spray starts to fade, couldn’t you just remove it and do it again? :)

[@EhabHalat]

Yes or just clean it and spray couple more coats to freshen it up!

Jose Caraballo you will get at least 1-3 years depending if you put clear or not
