Deff candying mine this week after seeing that! Haha
Do it man, it is really easy and makes a world of difference!
That thing dropped on factory 20s would be raw!!
I have the drop in the garage, just waiting to go on. The 20's require cash I don't have to spend right now, so the mini 16's will have to do :crazy:
Those look baller! Please post what products you used for paint and where I can get em! Under $20 for products? (I have tape, would just need paint and clear and sandpaper to wet sand)
He said he used VHT. They sell it at oriellys, its ust lke spray paint i geuss. they make a red to candy lights and also a nightshade for tinting them.
Yup, VHT is what I used:
VHT Nightshades Redout
Supplies:
-VHT Redout
-Masking Tape
-Degreaser/Cleaner that cuts grease (to clean lights)
-Clear coat of some kind (my dad paints, so I cheated here and used his supplies)
-Plastic adhesion promoter (I couldn't find my can til after I sprayed a few coats, so I didn't use ANY)
Process:
- Cleaned Taillights with 2 applications of SEM Plastic prep and 2 applications of Adam's APC at full strength. I wanted to make sure as much wax and crap was off as possible.
- Masked off lights
- Spray your adhesion promoter now. I couldn't find my can til after, so I didn't use any. Allow applicable drying time
- Spray your VHT, allowing the proper dry time in between coats
I did 2 coats while everything was masked off, removed the masking tape on the red taillight and red reflector, and sprayed those 3 exposed sections a final time to help it blend.
- I let mine dry overnight before clearing (24ish hours to cure)
- I did 2 HEAVY/WET clear coats with my dad's gun. This is where you get the "shine" from.
- Let cure.
- I polished mine with a "finishing" polish and it didn't do anything, so you can leave it be or do a full polish, but BE CAREFUL TO NOT BREAK THROUGH THE CLEAR!
Install and look baller :datass:
A few things to note: I notice that doing 2 coats just on the amber lens left a slightly raised surface. Wetsanding may have helped this, but idgaf :laugh:
Any other questions or pics y'all need, just ask.
