has anyone used this on their Z?

i used it on my last car and it held up very good until u saw stress marks in it from the sun beating on them for a long period of time...then i had to clear them some more

i used spray tint and clear coat when i did it...

i want to do my stock lights this way i can switch off from my J Spec tails and tinted tails....

or should i just get the other tint that everyone uses

 

whatever you do, don't use overlay. Look very DULL.

 

hook me up with some painted on tint ones Alex..... I will send a used pair to you

 

Body shop quoted me $130 to do this job for the taillights and rear turn signal housing. I know it's steep and there are tutorials for doing this yourself, but I don't want to go buy a buffer to do this the right way.

 

let them do it. I charge $100 to do JUST the taillight. It's time consume though.

 

Samples My Overlays.

those look pretty nice

 

there used to be a website that did this...forgot the name of the site but i dont think they exist anymore all i know is the guy that ran it his name was CHET...alot of ppl used him with their grand prixs(my previous car) but i did it myself and it came out pretty good....it just took a beating from the sun

 

damn, i hate sun beatings! what has become of this world?

 

It's not difficult to do at all. Sand them, paint them, buff them. You don't really need a power buffer to do it. If you decide you must have the power buffer one can be purchased at Home Depot for $25, alot less than the 125 you'd be spending, plus then you have the power buffer for easy waxing in the future.

 

the 1st and 2nd pic...are they of the same car? and if so which shade did you have on there 6/10 or 3/10?

 

VHT nightshades and clear coat if you want to paint em yourself... ive done it on previous cars and it comes out great.

Bat's overlays are the other thing I would suggest. Good product and good guy.

 

thats wat i used too...VHT and clear coat....lasted few months then u saw the stress marks and little cracks in it...and it looked faded

 

Different cars, both 6/10 tint .
