HOW-TO Custom Tint Your Maxima tail lights!

[ZGadson]

Sweet! I'm not sure how I feel about tinting the headlights, but Id definately tint the fogs. I'd have to try it see what the headlights look like tinted before I made a decision.

I was going to do the headlights similar to my G coupe with the round cut-outs where the lights shine.

off to the hobby shop. i already have metalcast. How about my amber sidemarkers?

do it...they will just be a deeper amber

ZGadson...that looooks sweeeeeeet and clean!!

[ZGadson]

Thanks - just needs to work out some bubbles here and there, but I like it a lot, too. It makes the tail lights blend in better rather than having such a contrast between the black car and bright red tail lights.

[lightsout]

this lasts perfectly if you lay a clear film over the entire lens after.

[jltibbs]

So, did you clear yours or not?

[lightsout]

nope, but I'm gonna spray them again tomorrow...then go grab some clear film. The red from Metalcast stayed on very well...the spray tint faded a little.

[tigersharkdude]

after the paint dries you should polish them, prefer. with a buffer. will bring the shine back

Sad, sad day. Lamin-X FTW. Do it once, and forget about it.

you're probably right about the tinting part....but as far as turning the CLEAR lens RED...i'd still recommend using the Metalcast RED spray!!!

[jltibbs]

Oh, no doubt about that. Do that first, then put the film on, and forget about it!

[lightsout]

agreed!

Nice job on the tint, looks even better in person, Devin.

One of my cars (my 350Z) has the tail lights spray tinted as well. It is the way to go in my opinion.

[lightsout]

[lightsout]
