Black topped lights! **NEW!**

[Mancorr 0]

Ive read on the 'knowledge base' about tinting the rear lights red. What i was wondering is if its poss' to do this but using black so the top parts of the lights are black and bottom red. Thing that concerns me is what colour would the indicators come out if sprayed black, reading the tinting the lights red the indicators flash red, thats not so bad, black, hmmmm could cause problems!!

 

Any ideas?

Mancorr, check out mine here.

 

No probs with MOT at all. Orange shows up fine, reverse lights are a bit dimmer but still work OK. You can 'pinstripe' them if you want with thin masking tape from Halfords.

The lights are done :) I should have taken before and after pics but ive just done the after!

 

Used a tin of black light tinting spray to which i used 4 coats. 600 wet & dry to rub down the lights as in the 'knowledge base' on tinting lights, then some 1200 to rub down the black spray once it had gone a kind of matt. I then put 2 coats of laquer on leaving 30 mins between each coat then left for a day before putting lights on my car.

 

This is how they have come out....ok i think?!

Did you consider the GB on light tinting films?
