so i nite shaded my led tails

[clean454]

well i would clean them up take ur time
then shoot the nite shade or better yet go to autozone and get that rustoleum stuff it works great like thehoe said

then shoot light coats take ur time, let it dry between coats

 

[WhoDatPanic]

okay so would you recomend it over niteshade alot lol i just bought it i know its only 12 bucks but still lol would it be that much better ?

 

[clean454]

well i guess it comes down to personal preff

i guess clean up both lights and shoot one if it comes out better and u like it then go with it
if it comes out horrible again then switch up to the other stuff lol

 

[WhoDatPanic]

true so just normal laquer thinner does the trick ? or paint thinner or are they the same lol

 

[clean454]

so just hit the housing with 1000 grit once you get the paint off then clean it off with paint thinner, but make sure it dries/evaporates off the housing before you shoot it again

^...

 

[thehoe92]

paint thinner < lacquer thinner < acetone

paint thinner is a really mild cleaner that will be perfect for getting ALL the oils off the housing

when you use the paint thinner use a paper towel so you don't use some dirty towel and mix oils in and do NOT touch the housing afterwards just start painting once its dry

I personally like the rustoleum better but it is strictly tint

nite shade has a bit of red in it therefore making your light show through better even though it shows up black on the exterior
but if you use the lens tint right you will have the same light output as nite shade but a glossier finish

But you have LED's should have no problem showing through.

If you still dont like them. Send them my way and for $20 I will paint them the correct way. With Clear Coat and Black paint mixed.

okay so tommarow gunna use paint thinner get off todays nite shade then start over i want that glossy look so i might use that stuff you suggested but i want it to show through so i dont get hassled slash sued if i get rear ended....

 

[thehoe92]

you keep getting them mixed up lol

use lacquer thinner to clean the paint off and use paint thinner to clean the oils off and whatever else after you finish sanding them

and regardless if its a light coat or not, if your tails are messed with and you get rear-ended its your fault

I'm sorry but if you don't see a tahoe that is stopped at a red light you should not be driving

/rant

or just send them to killer, I was going to right before I bought that lens tint because I know he does a great job
