Vinyl Tint is Out, VHT Is In!
 
It has been about two years since I tinted my led tails with vinyl tint. It looked good but was never quite dark enough for my liking. There was some nice weather here today so I decided to peel off the vinyl and use some VHT on the tails. IMO it looks way better now than it did before. Just got to wait for them to dry so I can finish them off with some wetsanding and polish. Maybe tomorrow if the weather is good. But even without them being done completely I think they are already better looking than the vinyl.

wow that is a lot darker teach. did you ditch the wing?

It is a lot darker. I put three coats on. The good thing is that the LEDs are bright so even in the full sunlight I can still see the tails through the VHT. I will have to go check them again after dark to see how they look at night.

I did ditch the wing. It looked cool but I bumped my head on it one time too many. Decided to sell it. I will only ever run a wing again if it is on a hard cover so it will lift out of my way. Otherwise, never again :).

That VHT looks great; however I'm not brave enuff to do it. I've seen some, who apparently did NOT know how to sand and buff to get that shine... and thought those looked horrible... and that WOULD BE the case with ME.

It is really easy to use. Even without the final sand and buff it still looks good.

Looks sweet teach, I'm gonna get some new lights and tint those too, not sure if I'll have em done or diy

DIY man, it is really easy and comes out looking really nice if you take your time spraying them.

OklaHemi 03-20-2011 10:01 PM

every time i have sprayed it it comes out dusty? or flat looking.

Did you clear them after applying the VHT?
