Why You Should Use THIS Instead of Plastidip

[@ryotaryuu]

Advance auto always has VHT. I did my taillight 8 years ago and they still look perfect. I did 3 coats and 3 coats of clear. No wet sanding, no buffing, no bubbles.

[@dylanvedia6705]

How long would it take to dry for each coat?

[@ryotaryuu]

@@dylanvedia6705 I don't exactly remember. Not long. Just follow the directions on the can. It's not hard

[@hankpog3907]

Bobby is literally breaking a sweat from shaking a rattle can

[@MR2SpyerJournal]

The best way to apply VHT is to open up the tail light housing and spray lightly from the inside onto the clear housing. This preserves the glossy finish and makes it look like film.

[@Txmj122]

cant say "fuck" in the recordings, but you can play uncensored rap. mmmk

[@DefWun]

I'm going to be honest man,I don't think anybody ever thought about Plasti-Dipping their tail lights.If there's that one guy out there that actually thought about doing it,I hope he turns his license into the first DMV he sees.

[@ERIFNOMI]

D F it's not uncommon. You can do it without having such diffuse results shown here, but it's still not a good idea. Tinting your tail lights in general is stupid. Don't do it.

[@DefWun]

Brett Anderson I agree.I'm more of a function over cosmetics type of person myself.If it's ugly but performs well,I'm all for it.Tinting tails looks nice on certain vehicles,but a light shade would be the only way I would do it.

[@TonyMoscato]

D F I platidipped mine and yeah I guess you can say it's stupid or whatever but it barely makes it dimmer at night but looks great in the sunlight. To each their own I guess

[@greenespirit4973]

Brett Anderson nothing wrong with a tinted tail light if done right

[@DavePreston]

D F I do agree, but I also think there are circumstances when it's acceptable. The stock 2011 Mustang tail lights are bright as fuck, borderline blinding. (NOT the tail lights with the black square insides) You'd kind of be a dumbass not to lightly darken those, for everyone's safety.

[@_AlejandroGonzalez_]

Tail lights aren’t even that bad but the wheels have got to go asap😂😂

[@professionalrookie8771]

Plasti dip tail lights I honestly thought it wouldn't even work. I've used the nite-shade many times before and it's amazing stuff. I find an even tack coat then 1 heavy coat is all ya need if your just looking to black them a little and remove the in your face bright red lenz look ya get on standard tail lights, without completely blacking them out like you did. cos as you would of noticed as it dries it darkens slightly (As do most colours). I was also gonna say why clear coat them when nite-shade is basically just tinted clear coat that has a high gloss finish. But then you sanded and polished them and it all made sense. Good idea when your after a show room finish.

[@seasgarage]

been using this stuff for years! had it on my 08ms3 for 3 years and it didn't fade at all. if you follow the directions, its worth the money.

[@Metallkopf86]

I was about to do this and wanted to do it right with the clear for lasting results but was worried about the sanding portion. So glad you did it the right way and I have something to go off of. My off roading Xterra I wasn't so worried about fucking up on but my new Explorer I definitely wanted a flawless victory. Great content man, keep it up.

[@parkyt13]

Nice seeing you doing vids like this bobby!

[@x-man5056]

I tried Nite Shades on my amber front turn signals and found it impossible to get an even shade with out going darker than I wanted. " Plasti-Kote" (not Plasti-Dip) seems to be lighter in the pigmentation in some videos I've watched. I'm going to try it as soon as I can find some. I want to shade a strip of chrome also but I want the chrome to show through. BTW- I bought my Nite Shades at Advance Auto. The guy working said they didn't have it, even though the web site said they did. I needed some self etching primer also and found the Nite Shades while looking for the primer. Good video, great humor.

[@ventingknight98]

I've never really cared for tinted headlights and taillights because they effect the performance of the lights, something I've always thought actually looked better and similar without effecting the performance of the lights is housings that have clear lenses with a black backdrop in them

[@Derpingtonshere]

I don't understand why people come here just to talk shit. It's simple for you to leave and never come back so the real fans can enjoy the fucking content. I swear people just bitch now days just to bitch. Anyways nice video and hope to see more soon.

[@MuscleVsTuner]

[@NorCalWabbit]

They wanna get on a hate comments video.

[@OzZy-13820]

Some people actually know what they're talking about and choose to correct mis-beliefs and mis-information. Some people don't actually know that plastidip sells tail light spray that lets light through...assume people are spraying their lights with stuff that's totally blocking the light..

[@austingoode8859]

I totally agree

[@SamLAVSamAVTM]

not sure

[@jonathanpitchford1689]

The plasti dipped taillight looks like the faded wing and Daytona stripe on the side. Go with the smooth finish

[@caylacunningham238]

I was thinking the same on that truck with the faded wing and stripe the plastidipped taillight looked like it was meant for that truck!

[@TheOGKB]

The best way to tint taillights IMO is to paint them with a blend of 90% black paint and 10% clear mixed and sprayed. I bought these “euro” (ricer) lights for my old Trailblazer SS that had WAY too bright LEDs in them but lit up they had the OEM light pattern and once I sprayed them they were solid black when they were off but lit up they looked almost 90% as bright as stock but overall looked fucking amazing! Get them painted and I promise you’ll love it. 💯

[@jmp7624]

Ill say that I think the vhc night shade does look better, but I plasti dipped my tail lights. If you do it right, it looks a lot better than what is on the right taillight. Your supposed to do 1 or 2 light coats of black and then spray the glossier over it for the rest of the coats. I went with it because it was cheap, easy, I can peel it off if necessary, and I wanted to see how it would work anyway. Been using it for over a year now and still held up great too.

[@95h22]

" Pleanty bright" ya for pitch black night out in the hills with Billy, in the day time both those tail lights are almost neds. Maybe fix the LEDs in your tail light before you make them even harder to see.

[@SamLu98]

You make me want to redo my tail lights because dam the night shade tail light looks so good

[@starrskreamgaming]

if you VHT niteshade your tail lights, you should tape off the backup lights. So you can, you know, see when you back up.

[@Bleujezzy]

If your going to PlastiDip your lights use the spray they have for specifically tinting lights. Regular body paint is going to look bad because it's for the body of the car not the lights. Bad comparison

[@kuntrryboy7078]

Jessy Schmidt the best way is using clear and some black paint. You put a small amount of black in the clear and spray it. Of course you have prep it properly

[@swaggerdo7231]

thank you for doing the side by side comparison, I agree, plastidip is not recommended on any light emitting surface.

[@tat255987]

If youre ever wondering if a scratch will buff out wipe a little spit on it, if it goes away itll buff out. If it doesnt its through the clear.

[@fathertimencUSA]

I have mine Plastidip.Did 3 coats of black then put Glossifier on them .They look completely black but the tail lights shine through very good.I live in N.C. and come inspection time i can just peel it off they will not pass tinted tail lights or head lights.Wouldn't mind another set of tail lights and use the night shades on them.

[@shawnh.2334]

that nightshade works great, never seen it used before. Double thumbs up

[@sifu1965]

Dude, ​you're a riot! Keep up the videos, love em.

[@michaels.8244]

Good shit!!! I like the Matt finish of the dip it goes better with the spoiler finish but the haziness of the bulbs isn’t a good look. The knight shade illuminated clearly.

[@WhoisTheRon]

The first KZbinr who knows how to lay on some spray can! Good sweeps. I returned a can of that peel coat (around the same time of this video) because I thought the can was deffective. It doesn't tint worth shit!

[@Robertb00]

2K clear in a rattle can is worth $20 to not worry about wet sanding. If you have some spray experience. Good job with what you had

[@FixItRyan]

Wow the VHT looks awesome, nice work. The plasti doesn’t look as bad as I thought it would, but VHT is way better for sure. I wish I could do that in California but I would get pulled over as soon as I leave the drive way

[@You_Wumbo]

This was pretty informative If you ask me.. keep up the good work Bobby!

[@Semi-crazy]

Dude says no cussing then puts a song that says the f-bomb 500 times ! 😂😂😂 I like the way the VHT came out makes those lights look a lot better !!

[@OzZy-13820]

The VHT fades after a while of being in the sun. Have used it on four of my vehicles. Some people like the flat black look and if they don't plastidip also sells glossifier

[@OzZy-13820]

And to the people who don't know, plastidip ALSO sells a tail light spray that lets light through. I've never used the plastidip but I've seen it used and know for a fact they have tail light spray.

[@daviddaniels6645]

Content is getting better Bobby, good job. I think you're getting into the groove! Keep up the good work. And where the fuck is Max!

[@chythebarber7130]

because you're funny as hell, you've earned a new sub my dude!

[@Benny46drift]

I just wouldn't want to tint any of my lights tbh, years ago I just used to wrap some tights around them for a temporary change then pulled over just rip them like you a savage

[@902isfake]

Or dont use either because they both look like ass get the vinyl tint, it looks way cleaner. or if you have a paint gun it will turn out better

[@MuscleVsTuner]

+b00st After you wet sand and polish the clear coat it looks just as good as a paint gun. I love how it turned out. Just takes a little extra time

[@Genesis385]

Or just don’t tint your lenses. 🤷🏻‍♂️ painting the insides (on the led ones) is much safer and just as effective stylistically.

[@humblescouts854]

Muscle Vs Tuner . What could i use instead of adams Polish. Can't seem to find that?

[@justinlbegay]

[@thepowerofdienna8055]

didn't know if you knew this but plastidip makes a product called smoke specifically for this purpose, I've never personally used it, and i can not say it would be better than the nightshade, however I'm sure its better than just spraying regular black plasidip, at least give it a fair shot right?

[@morriswebb2493]

Dude you crack me up, I thought I was going to hate it but you made me laugh my ass off. Keep it up.

[@trd_tv1311]

that edit of you removing your tailights compares to the best Rocky out there. mad love from Cleveland

[@shiftinggearsmedia]

Most people use Plastidip Smoke which is what is used for tinting.. I have never heard of someone using actual Plastidip to tint with.. Regardless I do agree the VHT is the way to go just thought for comparison sake that it should be equivalent

[@vsho]

for the record, swirl remover and polishing compound will take the rest of those scratches out, also... don't rubber coat anything safety related....

[@benp7598]

One of your best videos yet Bobby! Laughed alot

[@anarchybullet1624]

Even there are a lot of toxic comments on some of your videos but tbh I did like your work, keep it up bro! you deserve a subscribe!👍🏼

[@cjw602]

Have used VHT on every vehicles tail lights and marker lights me and my wife have had , Love the stuff but never sanded it just cleaned them real good and put 3-4 coats

[@davidtheII]

I applied the VHT and it's awesome, but of course it's a risk getting pulled over in Texas lol

[@Texas_Cruiser]

Clean Up Nice Mobile Detail & Services been pulled over yet?

[@ryans8109]

That sanding was probably the most cardio bobby has done in a week

[@badranger2004]

The reason most places don’t sell VHT nightshade is that it’s illegal for use on a street driven vehicle in most states

[@AndrewDoesLife]

I've used that Rustoleum brand peel-able paint before when I was blacking out my truck badges and decals. It's pretty terrible. Even when used exactly according to directions it just looks cheap and tacky.

[@peterparker9444]

If you had used the glossifier on the Plasti Dip it would probably look as good and the bonus thing is that you can easily remove it compared to the other product you used!

[@skatin_around]

I'm definitely gonna tint the taillights and connected spoiler lip on my 4g eclipse, it looks pretty good in the video

[@ghostty7775]

I used that to tint my taillights it looks really good and is easy af to spray on just make sure you don't over spray 😉

[@user-wo7rp6bc6t]

great tip. very nice rice truck

[@tyranelewis7763]

yo! you are hilarious... i love the comparison... i used the same 2 products for tail lights and yes the VHT is so much better.

[@KTMatt]

Florida tip: if its mid summer and 638% humidity don't use night shades. Also (totally unrelated) if you happen to use night shade remover don't do it on a platic lens after its been sitting in the hot sun. Comes out the can at -75° F in a 4000° F Florida sun. The lens looked like a spider web when it cracked and was still cloudy from the night shades. Good times

[@josuearriaza8807]

great video bobby. You should do more tutorials like this.

[@jeremylehman8177]

Plasti dipped my tail lights and it looked like the one on the left. Rustoleum peal paint sucks it is a nock off it scratches and looks like crap. When you use the plasti dip you have to use the glossifier that’s what puts the shine on it. It looked good and when it failed inspection I just pealed it off. I also didn’t have to to all that sanding. You can put it on dark or just do a light one spray and then do 3-4 layers of glossifier and it will pass inspection. (Glossifier is clear)

[@RZxPROductionzZz]

Couldnt think to put a towel over your tailgate?

[@mikebanks5480]

Exactly anything cover the tire more simple.

[@nathandyer1111]

Not really sure if this is a good comparison. Wouldn’t it make more sense to sand down both brands of paint or does plasti-dip not fair well when sanded... asking for a friend

[@kellypg]

If I if anyone has said this but plasti dip makes an actual tinting product that works pretty well.

[@djyocharlie]

I’ve used night shades and love the results but I find that they fade over time (fade to clear) even after clear coating them. 😡

[@MrMiguelc6]

Platidip has a glossy can too

[@BrianWood74]

Miguel Cisneros he would actually have to use PlastiDip first, he didn't even use it, yet called it that.... Hard to make a comparison to a product when you don't use it, or even finish it the same as your preferred product...

[@Mik3yLow]

"Don't go too dark if you don't have bright enough lights". You should have specified how that is NOT at all an option with anything other than the peel off Rustoleum. Your first coat will be super dark. You didn't spray anything correctly but if you had you would've realized it's made that way in order to make any level of shade needed. 100% better at creating even shades on both sides than the options you showed, while still keeping that clarity in the matte option. If you don't want to peel it put a clear coat.

[@innocenth3rb]

[@JohanlastZa]

Looks cool, you are lucky to be able to do that, in my country it is against the law to do this. Tinting of the light is not allowed and the road cops like to give us grief about it. We are only allowed to change the bulbs to LED and add more lights (like LED bar and spot lights). Well to be honest I really want more light and not less, people tend to drive into one another and if I lid my vehicle up like a xmas tree, then I reduce the chance of it happening to me. oh and for some reason, animals want to use my vehicle to end their miserable existence.....lol

[@jordanbrady5110]

Mitchell Cummings niggass got his own channel.....rspecryan is the name

[@85gbody97]

I’ve learned the hard way on nite shade two medium coats is all ya ever need other wise it’ll be to dark an ya get stopped by the cops a lot. Also if ya sand an polish your tail lights prior to spraying ya could avoid having to clear coat an sand them like an it’ll be glossy an look like a factory tinted tail light just makes sure ya do the second coat in the flash window so basically wait bout 15 mins after ya sprayed your first coat do your second medium coat an it’ll be perfect. I’ve played with that stuff a lot An that’s been probably the best finish I’ve seen is doing it that way

[@imfrom210texas]

You don't want to avoid spraying clear. It's what keeps the lights protected from the UV rays that'll make the nightshade get dull quickly

[@FueledbyFaith]

All my friends use the VHT Nightshade and I have to admit it looks pretty decent haha

[@MuscleVsTuner]
