Came out real good. They still have a little orange peel but I'm waiting for them to fully cure to sand it out.

Testors transparent black window tint

Did you clear coat it afterwards?

I used Niteshades, but the Testors is similar stuff. Niteshades is great stuff, but a can of it will last forever and do 20 cars, so share with someone. I still have a full can after doing 4 cars including third brake lights.

I mean to do that, I am looking for replacement tail lights while I work on the ones i have (I want to remove the 3M AVS first, and do the work on the stock lamps) http://www.lostkjs.com/forum/phpBB2...1&start=0&postdays=0&postorder=asc&highlight=
If you know anyone with a pair of spare tails, let me know. I will put them on the KJ, since I cannot drive without tails while I do the work..

 

[desertkj]

Wait, you ditched the 22s? I actually kinda liked them.

 

[Donnie]

Yeah the 22s are long gone. I was going to use nightshades but all that I've seen were too dark for my liking.

 

[Donnie]

Did you clear coat it afterwards?

Yes, with testors. I would reccomend auto clear if you have a gun.

For appearance, I'd also reccomend taking off the lisence plate box. It looks much cleaner, I've did this on both of my vehicles and never was hassled by the cops over 4 years.

Wow I really like the tinted tails. I think it would look great on my black Freedom. Can you walk us through the process please?

[hyde]

no problemo muchacho.

 

[MoladoGuy]

Tinted taillights look great. I saw TomMud's KJ with Shaders NightShade tint on the tails. I was searching for can and finally gave up. I might go back and order one since I've found where I can get it.

 

[the_titan]

They even sell it on ebay. Niteshades is not hard to find, except in local B&M stores.

 

[Dave]

looks really good.
