Posted October 8, 200915 yr Which section or part of the Van lights would you half tint? The top or the bottom? http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a134/2f2fescort2f2f/DSC00956.jpg I want to do it, but I dont know How, or what parts? can someone please shed some light.
October 8, 200915 yr Top I think you have to leave the red as thats the reflective bit that passes MOT/makes them still legal? (i think?)
October 8, 200915 yr 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.
October 8, 200915 yr Loads of people have loads of ways, the way Aaron did mine was simple: Take lights outTape them upSand the area you want sanding with only a fine grade paperSpray, in layersWait to tryLaquer Done
October 8, 200915 yr Author 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. How long would it take to dry?
October 8, 200915 yr 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
October 8, 200915 yr Author I'll do it tomorrow night leave them to dry overnight.... Cheers you two.
October 8, 200915 yr if you decide you want me too do your smoothed grill I could probably sort the hlff tints for you aswell aslong as your not desperate to use the van that is
October 8, 200915 yr Author 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.

October 8, 200915 yr 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.http://i268.photobucket.com/albums/jj22/andrewsalter5019/006-20.jpg
October 9, 200915 yr Author Why is it getting chav'ed up Lee?? Chavving it is lexus lights and STUPID body kits? so I fail to see what you mean with that comment?
