Review: This Works Nice - Some vehicles you can't just buy a set of GTS light covers for. Or you spend 3x what a stock light housing is to buy a custom ones. The VHT lens tint is a cheaper way to get a custom look. There are a few ways of painting your light housings, but I would rather remove the light housings off the vehicle in sted of masking half the car to keep the over spray from getting on your paint. Plus you can get a better even coats of paint when having all the parts in front of you. I did the taillights on my 05 Mercury Grand Marquis, including the lenses on the trunk hood. I first cleaned the lenes with wax and greas remover. Masked off the areas I didn't want the spray tint to be painted on. Gave all the paintable areas a light wet sanding with 600 grit sand paper. Now the lenses have a dull look to them.Now youjust gave something for the spray tint to grab on too. Clean again with wax and greas remover and wipe dry with a clean rag. Look to make sure there is no dust or hair on the parts you are painting. I found 3 light coats of VHT lens tint is more then enough, but if you want darker add a few more. With the parts laid out in front of you and clean, spray light even coats on all parts. Make sure you put the same amount of spray tint on all parts or one part will look darker than the other. Your light housings will look like they have a gloss to them. This tint will dull out to a flat black. If you are looking for a flat look, like your car is a flat black this will work for you. I like the custom look so I bought the VHT SP515 Quick Coat Clear Acrylic Enamel. If you use this clear, when the tint is dry to the touch but not harden give them a light coat of the clear. I did 3 light coats of clear, spraying when the clear was tacky. Let dry over night and put the lenses back on the vehicle. Remember the more coatsof tint, the darker or harder it will be for others to see. Also, check with your town or state. Might have laws against lens tints.

Is this a flat black or will it be gloss/shiney look?** A: it will have a slight gloss, almost more like a satin look.... to properly apply to give the best "OEM" gloss appearance...wetsand the lights with 1000 grit.cleanapply 2,3, or 4 coats of nightshade, depending on the darkness you want.allow 24 hours to curewetsand with 2000 grit to get out imprefectionswashapply 3 to 4 coats of clearallow 24 hours to curewetsand with 3000 gritwashuse a plastic polish and polish until you get a glass like finish...if you follow this and do not rush it, allowing time to cure, you will have a oem glossy finished product... **Q: Will this be ok to tint my headlights with as well?** A: I would not recommend it for that. Unless you have a spare set of lights in case you don't like the result I wouldn't do it. The spray pattern you get from the can is very spotty and looks nothing like tint. Try spraying a sample before you do your lights and see if it's what you're looking for. **Q: Can I use this on by cars front badge, emblem, for a smoked look?** A: Ive used this to smoke an emblem. It came out great. The tip has to be clean because any splatter will show up as dark spots, as with any lense tiny spray. **Q: So if i put this on a pair of glasses i will be able to see through them?** A: Try it on cheap sunglasses, it gives an amber tint to everything, I mow my 5+acres with some safety/welding glasses I halfassed sprayed with it.........actually cuts down those midday sun headaches.Spray real light coats not heavy or it'll splotch and run, paint it on the inside of the shades. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Works Nice *by E***O on January 26, 2013* Some vehicles you can't just buy a set of GTS light covers for.

This allowed me to blend the color of the Lights into the Bumper color with the Light still being able to shine through. Advice. Clean Surface and move slowly. Light coats work best and let dry between coats until you get the right color. Sprays easily but would suggest that you clean the tip after each spray. Dries very quickly between coats and final coat is dry within 30 minutes. Once paint drys no finger prints will show up. Seems to be Scratch Resistant and holds up under car washes. ## Frequently Bought Together - VHT SP999 Nite-Shades Lens Cover Tint Translucent Black Paint Can - 10 oz. - Dupli-Color DA1692 Multi-Purpose Acrylic Enamel Spray Paint - Crystal Clear - 12 oz.
