how to permanently tint your lenses

So sometimes we want to tint our lenses to match the car, or want to be 'stealth' ... whatever the reason is, it follows the same principle as painting your taillights red.

The paint I used


Prepping em and getting them ready


Cleaning the housing


Check that out, nice and clean


Taped off the parts I dont want to paint


Finsihed product


Shitty pic of them on the housing


I then started on my left corner lense (dont want to do them both at the same time cause it might attract cops to have em both off)
All prepped and ready to go


After the first coat

Note: These were both stolen after about a month. I went to school one day and walla ... they also tried to steal my fogs, but couldnt get em off right. They did manage to fuck up a seal in the process howeveer.

I agree that they looked out of place. Which is why i would not do it again.

But for people who have black housing headlights or simply even black cars, it would look really good in my opinion.

you should be flattered that they stole them, it means that they think you did a good job with them, and they did look pretty good. nice job.

I concentrated on the road and shifted up and it was over, I just rocketed pass him, I could only see the rectangle of a face of the bus. It was another bus kill for me...i'll always remember the day I took out a loaded touring bus.

ive seen transparent amber but its pretty hard to find locally cause i wanted to make full amber corners out of my stocks a while ago when my clear corners were stolen ... just find someone who knows where its sold and have them ship it to you.

thx man...btw great job on your corners (thieves. die.)

But I meant permanent amber transparent paint. I used krylon on my corners...it's holding up pretty well but I have noticed some fading. I was just curious if they made a permanent tint spray in amber

i know what you mean and its hard to find ... i used to see peeps sellin it on ebay ... try checking out your local arts and crafts stores and places like ben franklin and michales. hell even wal mart might have it (doubt it though, all my local wal mart has is the transparent red)
