tinted rear lights?

[Chris197F1]

Where can we get these or is it as simple as spraying them yourself?

Probably just as east to spray them yourself mate. Just make sure you get the glossy stuff and not the matt.

I'm sure if you PM him he'll let you know where he got them.

there actually different lights but they do look good. think I may just spray my own as its much cheaper that way..............unless I cock it up of course haha

Those are LED's and you can get them from global eBay buying from Germany.

I think Fernandez tinted his?

 

[Fernandez]

Swapped mine with another member, but he had them professionally tinted by a bodyshop.

GENUINE Lamin-x is the way forward! 10000000x better than the fake chinese stuff, 10000000x easier to work with too.

I supply the stuff! Drop me a pm for more details. Failing that check our website (www.FunkMotorsport.com) or Facebook page by searching Funk Motorsport on FB

Before anyone starts to get a bit annoyed by me "trading" on here, I've spoke to the admins, and I have paid my fees to start trading, though nothing has been set up yet. So I think I am allowed

I smoked mine myself with a spray from Halfords and even did my old Fiesta too ... as long as you polish them properly after they go nice and glossy rather than matt? Didnt do too many coats as I didnt want them too dark.....

 

[Chris197F1]

Ahh right cheers Claire, may look at getting a can then and having a go. What do you polish them up with?

Its not too expensive, just make sure you clean them properly first and get all the grease and dirt off (not saying you have a dirty car or anything ... lol)

Think mine took 3/4 coats but lightly sprayed otherwise if you spray loads it might make drip marks if it runs, so just do light coats and let them dry in-between

Make sure they are really dry before you polish and just use a cutting compound like Auto Gleam do x

Did you take the lights off to spray them ?

 

[Clairey-Lou]

Yes I did ... I had to spray them in the front garden so I didnt get my mums garden furniture inky::001_rolleyes:

 

[mitch1990]

Lol ok thanks

 

[Clairey-Lou]

If you have some spare, you can use vodka or white spirit to clean them before you spray this will make sure there's no grease or anything left on the lights x

 

[mitch1990]

I'll get some white spirit from work

 

[Clairey-Lou]

I'll get some white spirit from work

As Vodka is never "just spare"

 

[mitch1990]

No cant waste it on the car

Vodka and white spirit sounds like the staple diet of the average Jeremy Kyle guest.

I've done this to my rear lights. A bit different to smoking them I suppose. If anyone is interested in doing the same thing let me know!
