Guest mrhobbz Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm looking at smoking my lights, what is the best way to go about this? I've seen the film but I've also heard that dying them is the better way to go. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadz89GTA Posted April 14, 2008 Report Share Posted April 14, 2008 LS1Tech has DOZENS of threads about this. Whatever you do DO NOT put blackouts on that Camaro, you'll be buying new tail lights as the blackouts tend to melt the tails...... The nicest way I've seen was tinting clearcoat with black paint and spraying it as seen here: http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=728316 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clifford Automotive Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Like sweety said... If you use the night shade I would recommend putting some clear over them. I have seen them too many time fade out and then you have shit on your hands. Steve I dont really have a lot of pictures of it anymore. But give it time it will be out this year.

GSXRAntwon Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Nightshades likes to fade and look foggy if you put the coats on too thick, then you're left with irreversible garbage. TRUTH. If you clear coat it it looks better, but I would just go with lamin-x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 why not just buy those blackout covers? thats what i have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chadz89GTA Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 why not just buy those blackout covers? thats what i have As I already covered, the LS1 tail lights melt lenses with blackouts on. I had a set and after about 2 days this past month the lenses were melted....If you don't believe me do a search on LS1Tech.com about Blackouts/Melting, and you'll see.
