I got bored thought to tint my new clears because hey!
if i messed up its easy to put paint thinner on a paper towell and wipe it off.
so here we go.
items:
general adhesive cleaner or paint thinner or isapropyl alcohol
testors window tint tran black
paper towells (a few incase you mess up)
for bumper lenses you just clean em off don't sand or anything.. or atleast i didn't.
here is the results.
coat 1:
coat 2:
coat 3:
coat 4:
coat 5:
AHHH ORANGE PEEL > me
coat 6:
Heavier coat to fill in the orange peel.
:: thats as far as i went i liked it.
i shined a flash light through it was pretty visible.
I might be sanding this down with like 800 and put a final on it and see how it looks. or wether sanding it just fucks it all kinds of up.
as far as i'm concerned-
the limo dark stick on stuff looks a bit nicer
but this will probably have better visibility and cheapness.
also easier to take off if you wanted to.
EDIT :: ----------------------
bought some limo dark
folowed the intructions and i kept getting air lines from the edges..
no idea.
:::;
I thought i had some Nasty ass drips on one of my corners .. but
i stripped the paint off.
AND WTF!!!
The plastic cracked in 3 places...
WTF?? i duno if its because i put some cold water on there and the plastic didn't like it so decided to snap.
... but i'm pretty damn sure i didn't drop it.
unless my mom or dad came in a knocked them or kicked them over.
but still i figured they wouldn't break..
BTW
i'm going to sand it over so the cracks are less iminent.
then just get some primer and put it over all of it.
then try it again..
now i have to go buy another like 2 cans of that paint!!
uhg. its 5$ a pop.
