[DakotaGirlTracy]

awesome job,looks great :)

[D1majes]

Guys what spray it is ?

[EuanRams]

@D1majes  spray can of VHT Niteshades spraycan paint

[89musclebound]

you may want to switch all of your light bulbs to either LEDs or SMDs(much brighter) to compensate for the black coat.

[bijan1982]

to clear up any questions

1x spray can of VHT Niteshades spraycan paint

2x sheets of 1200-2000 grit sandpaper

1x bucket of soapy water

1x 3M blue delicate masking tape for bits you dont want to spray

1x spray can of clear gloss/Laquer for protection otherwise Niteshade paint will chip

1x Cream Cut and Polish (like Macguire's Mother's etc.)

as far as coats go 3 is plenty. its very dark almost black. anything more than 3 and cops will look at it more and more.

follow video this video and win =)

was it easy to paint on a windy day?

[09shamsabadis]

@adamH108TAWhy is it necessary to use sand paper on the tail light?

[AdamH108TA]

@09shamsabadis because paint does not stick to a shiny smooth surface very well

[frankenstein04]

the heaveier the coasts of clear the less flat the final look will look

[TheVampireknight44]

Would pressure washing my car or going threw a car wash bring this paint off though? Or will it stay on?

[AdamH108TA]

@TheVampireknight44 the car in the video has been pressure washed several times now and the paint has been fine.

[dREAMING805]

How many bottles u use to do this?

[AdamH108TA]

@dREAMING805 2 spray cans

[DRIFTking95M]

Or you could just have made it in the Knight Rider Style :) Put some perpex covers over the taillights :D

[FrankRizzo762]

@hghsdvi

Haha! go fly a plane into a building and you will get nothing but death, no virgins in Heaven for you. :)

[ninjasification]

Good video but check out johnsn10 's video on how to tint tail lights for a better way to make your strokes when you use aerosol. (start spraying off of the piece, then across the piece, and off the other side)

[thunderair]

what is the name for the tinting paint u used for that

[AdamH108TA]

@thunderair Savage Tail Light Tinting Paint, 400ml aerosol.

[smakedas]

@thunderair there is something called VHT NightShade the VHT part number for that is SP99

[hghsdvi]

I bear witness that no God but Allah and I bear witness that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah

[fordskool]

@hghsdvi  shut up.

[JohnPaulLira559]

@hghsdvi dude, you really aren't bright in the head are you?

[maxhauler]

Cool mod! One of my first custom builds was a 1969 Firebird. Started with 1 full car in bad shape, another car with no engine but some good body parts. Extra engine, extra rear end, extra Ram Air II heads and a good 400 4-bolt main block out of a 1969 Pontiac Wagon. Balanced the engine when I built it. Big cam, Hi-comp alum pistons. Holly double pumper. Munci 4-speed. Racing clutch. Lowered. Limo black windows. Slammed. Primer gray. Evil looking and sounding car. Nice work on your TA!

[izze1000]

is this legal in the state of washington?? not washington dc the other one

[iceskimos]

[MrAverageToaster]
