CAN IT BE DONE?

Featured Replies

HI ALL!!

Ok, my matre at work got hold of some spray that he sprayed on his rear lights that gave them a darker look. I was thinking of trying give my head lamps a slite coating but should i spray over the top of the glass or can the glass be removed and then spray it on the inside(which i think would look cooler!!) my car mk2 polo btw!! Oh and any one know where can get the spray from??

cheers!!

mot failer

the only thing you can do is paint the none refectie bits inside

I've done it m8 took glass off and tinted the glass on the inside and painted the no replevctive bits inside thet lights

looks sick

i heard somthin about puting them in the oven?????????????

yea you put them in the oven so that the glass is easy to remove cant remember how hot someone said to do it etc..

as mbh69 says be better to paint the none refectie parts of the light unit its self not the lense theres a guide on here some were for doing it looks good tho!! tinted glass would look bad ass tho as well but you gotta think of the night driving.

oven is pointless, if your really struggling to get the glass off use a hairdryer and dont risk melting your headlight!

Get some headlight protectors and tint the inside of them!! That way when it's MOT time you just chuck em in the corner til you're through the MOT!

and you can get the protectors so nice looking and still let the light shine through ;)
