scoobygav555,

Of course if you fancy being different, then use red spray and keep the reverse light white!

 

Andy,

Tried that but i would of got pulled by the police because my indicators flashed red..!!!! this was my first plan... that failed.

Dan

 

cheers for your help dan. where can i get hold of some tint spray??? the finish on yours looks awesome did you apply one coat and then a few layers of laquer??

Did the same as above got black lens spray tint from checkpoint they sell all colours red, black, blue ect £10 a can .Do not need to use laquor as this spray leaves a shiney gloss finnish .Applied about 6 coates to each .

Mark

ps looks great a lot cheaper than sti lights

 

scoobygav555,

The spray can be bought from here for £11.99 inc postage

The best way to do it is to laquer them because the tint spray wears off after a while and will eventually go dull trust me i know from experiance on other cars..!! You will get a better finish using laquer and it seals the tint spray alot better...

I just did a few coats... I put the hazards on in between coats so i could see if the indicators can be seen ok, just a warning make sure you have some good light to spray them in, because when i sprayed mine i reversed my car out the garage in full light and you could still see the orange..!! I then waited for the tint spray to dry and applied about three coats of laquer..

I did mine red, and they do flash red-ish, boarder line I think, not been pulled yet though. Top idea though Dan,(I copied you )
