i just tryed applying this certain film i ordered today and i have to say it looked horrible, so i took it off. if you did this to your lights what did you use? is there a paint you can use for a permanant look?

 

rattle can.

 

+1. just painters tape around the side marker and spray away.

 

Take them out first! It takes 10 mins and you don't have to mask the car!

Just a suggestion

 

thanks thats prolly what im going to do. i wont settle for anything but what looks the best. but did you also use this rattle can paint? where can i get it? how much? any final product pics?

 

"rattle can" = spray paint

you pick the brand, any will work.

 

i just removed them and scuffed them up with a scotch brite pad (the ones you wash dishes with) they primered then painted it with rattle can. looks good and has held up for a couple months now.

 

looks better than i thought...anymore pics of your blacked out lights keep em coming..

 

painted mine, very happy with 'em.

 

too lazy but if you look through my recent threads, I asked the same questions and I got some good responses with pics in them. I also blacked mine out and will post pics soon.

 

I have mine taken out. I blacked them out just have been too lazy to put them back in

 

I took my car to the tint shop and they put dark overlays on them and only charged $15 apiece. Granted, while they are mostly black, you can still see some of the amber underneath (up close and in sunlight) but considering how cheap the job was and that I didn't have to go through the trouble of removing the bumper to get to them, spray paint, etc., I'm more than satisfied.

I can post pics if need be.

 

i just sprayed it after wiping it down and it held up for more than a year already.

 

use Krylon Fusion paint it is designed specifically for plastic and wont come off.

 

As stated above...Krylon Fusion plastic paint with some clear ontop works well...just clean well and spray...no sanding needed. I used a flat black.

 

i used VHT nigthshade, its a spray tint. i removed them, wet sanded and painted 4 coats.

 

I've been dying to black out my headlights and side markers. Is that a tint on top of the headlight or did you go through the whole oven take apart process???

 

Clean.

 

wow, that z looks awesome

 

^thanks
