Title: Just a bit of self pimping
Post by: SP_3.2 on 08 September 2008, 19:35:20

Has some time today and have been toying with the with doining this for some time but did not want it to look like something an 18 year old boy racer would do.

This is the spray that i used.  http://i400.photobucket.com/albums/pp84/steveparke/009.jpg

And with the help and advice for my very nice body shop guy this is the outcome which  am very happy with. This level of tint is just like the old pre facelift lights.  Which may not show up in the phots but give you an idea of the look.

Looks very good!

How do you get an even coat across the lights?

Thanks .

Took it to my body shop guy and he showed me that you have to ruff the surface with wet and dry sandpaper and  the a lot of masking .Then start of spraying the masking paper and work down to the lights.

Also the product in the phot gives a very nice spray patten which was a very big help with the end result. :y
