HOWTO: Black tint your aftermarket tail lights

Post by Habanero666 » Thu Jul 16, 2009 11:31 am

Product to use is: Tamiya model spray
Color: Smoke black


1 Remove the lights first!

2 Clean them down with an alcohol solution ( bourbon won't work ) or a dustless Terry cloth, but be thorough!

3 Place the items on a dust free table or card board sheet

4 Start with a light continuous stroke from one side across to the other over lapping each stroke as you make your way down.

5 leave to dry for atleast half an hour between coats on a cold day.

**TIPS**

Don't go too heavy on the first coat!

Also don't go too heavy on all coats to avoid the runs :oops: and the Police!


Good luck You can get a good result with care and patience.
