Yea this site has helped me with some quick tips & inspiration. I attempted these mods after reading a few "how to" threads. Live & learn. It's about 50ish here so I didn't know how the cold temp would effect it. I let the tail lights sit over night after I did the final coat of tint. This morning I did the clear coats & compound. Side markers are almost done & look so much better.

 

if you let paint dry before the next coat it will turn out bad, you will have to re-scuff the surface again for the paint to adhere to, thats why you dont wait long between coats

 

Dang! Now I know.

 

I think the side markers came out great.
The screw holding them in was a little rusted &kinda stripped which was a pain. Took only 2 easy coats of tint to get them blacked out. I replaced the bulbs with silver star 194 since passenger side burnt out.

 

Temp & humidity are key factors...

Lower temps & /or higher humidity will require longer 'flash' times. You can also pre-heat the part(s) with a heat gun, or hair dryer.

Also best to keep paint Inside warm house till you use it..

Looks pretty Good

 

Yea I kept the chemicals inside while using them. The spray flow was difficult when it was cold. I'm learning as I go. I'm so glad you guys do "how to" posts with pics.

 

Rattle can painting below 60 degrees= Bad results. Best to do this stuff during the summer.

 

Now my left turn signal is going faster than the right. What's the deal?

 

Your bulb might be on its last days

 

The front turn signal? How do u get to it?
