2. clean tail lights with windex and a microfiber towel(not a paper towel).

3. tape off area u wish to tint and not tint. ie: i didn't want to tint the backup light, so i covered it with tape and cut out the circle with an exacto-knife and a protractor. tape off entire lens to prevent a "dusty" over spray, but leave the area over the blinker bare so you can anodize the clear to a new RED.

4. clean the area that is going to be painted with windex and a microfiber towel again before painting, then spray the Dupli-Color METALCAST Paint over the blinker area. Allow 5-7 mins before removing tape surrounding the blinker(DO NOT TOUCH THE LENS). Be sure to leave the tape that is covering the backup light on the lense.

5. immediately spray the Pactra Racing Finish RC249 Window tint spray(found at your local hobby shop for RC Toys) on to the lens so it is able to adhere to the Dupli-Color Red and the lense.

6. allow 30-45 mins for lens to dry, then use your exacto-knife to pull up the edge of the tape that covers the backup light. Peal off tape to reveal this:

7. reinstall lens' into your Maxima and enjoy.

Would you like a custom title under your user name?

Buy From NICO Sponsors - They make this site possible!

i would love a custom title under my user name. Do i need to email you some of my idea's?

BTW...i just tinted the spoiler LED strip, and the rear side marker lights...it looooks sooo stealth and sleeeeek!!

That looks amazing. I cheated. I use Film. Not that cheap ebay crap either. I buy strips of the film and cut to fit.

Job well done.

I definitely like the clean seamless look of the paint compared to film.

One question, though:
Why do your tails light up such a sharp almost-pink instead of red? Is it the paint you used or the lamps?

Some people never observe anything. Life just happens to them.
They get by on little more than a kind of dumb persistence, and they resist with
anger and resentment anything that might lift them out of that false serenity.

how does this title sound?

Honestly, I like the paint better (nice job, Lightsout), but the idea that the film tint is removable makes me more comfortable with that instead.

Lamin-x is where I get my film. I bought bulk film and cut to fit because it's easier and usually less expensive. I do not have pics of my Q yet, but here are some pics of my Maxima.

totally understand b/c if i get pulled over for the lights, then i've got to swap out my entire lens, but i'm just gonna get a second pair and tint them a little less :-)

if you don't want to go thru the all the steps above, just have a tint shop do your lenses...but if you want the tint spray get it here:

get 2 so you have extra for your spoiler light and sidemarkers

Um, dude, look two posts above your OP. There's a pic of my 4th gen with Lamin-X film, which is quite a bit thicker. It does fine. If you're ever in the middle TN area, have some Lamin-X on you so my tint guy can hook you up. He can do it.

Did you happen to mail them yet?

Wow! Thanks, man! I appreciate that a lot!
