Tinted my tail lights today

[the_game_rock]

This is what im using. BTW I did light coats. When I tinted my other car tail lights I didnt mask off the reverse and I couldnt see when I backed up. So i figured I would mask it off. My wife isnt too happy about me doing any "mods" to the expedition.

u didn't want to go darker?

I thought it would turn out a little darker as you can see when it was drying. I also didnt want it too dark. I dont want to get pulled over when Im out of state. Around here is fine. I have my neon tail lights alot darker and havent been pulled over for it. I also wanted to make sure it was bright enough when I hit my brakes.

I had a set I completely blacked out and it was fine when hitting brakes...nightshade allows the light to go through...when out of state...that cant pull u over...ur passing through

Its basically originally designed to coat tool handles, it comes in a spray can, and it is pretty easy to use. I have my rims, trim, bumpers, and grille done with the stuff, and it holds up pretty good for 6 bucks a can.

Does it come it different colors?

 

[TactialMonkey]

yes plastidip comes in colors but the best part is if you do it in light coats it is easy to remove
