I think you have to leave the red as thats the reflective bit that passes MOT/makes them still legal? (i think?)

How do you do half tint's? any sanding involved or do you just... Do it?

i used wet and dry to put a rough surface but a clean is sufficiant apparenly :)

 

id get clear rears and tint instead of coloured. my rears are clear and lightly tinted all over so they have a smoked effect. there not fully tinted by any stretch of the imagination just smoked.

Loads of people have loads of ways, the way Aaron did mine was simple:

 

Take lights out

Tape them up

Sand the area you want sanding with only a fine grade paper

Spray, in layers

Wait to try

Laquer

 

Done :)

have to be when I'm not using the van at the moment its my only source of transport..... the F150 is in the garage but I'm not insured on it. :unsure:

 

How long would it take to dry?

in room temp a few hours. do them when ur home from work do them, give them a few hours (2 may be enouh) infront of radiator and they are done :)

Thankyou Lee, I am in need of the Van though, simply because the Porsche is in having its engine & gearbox repaired & the F150 I am not insured on so its only the Van I can use. :(

This is how I done mine.

I wiped the light clean with a dab of thinners on a cloth,

masked off the light,

sprayed with gloss black untill they were dark enough,

removed masking when dry,

laqured complete light to give a shine.
