Just curious what do you guys prefer or have heard the pros and cons of the tail light or headlight vht tint spray applications vs. the pre cut tint overlay? I hear the overlay is a very aggervating and somewhat difficult process to apply. Haven't heard much feedback from the tint spray though.

 

I was wondering about the same thing cuz my overlay tend to shrink a little bit, and it look kinda nasty...

 

paint it

 

personally, paint it ive seen that has been painted and it looks good better than overlays. firedawg has his painted laser red and it looks better imo

 

Firedawg, kurtis, speedraver all have theirs painted and IMO it looks a lot better

 

where the heck do you even get tint spray?
and isnt it easy to mess up ??
what I mean is if you wanna do like a 60% tint and not completely black out the headlights/taillights... how the heck do you accomplish that by spraypaint ???
you're either gonna end up spraying too much or too little and there's a 99% chance it's not gonna be even ..........

am I missing something here ??
i need to tint or spray my taillights and possibly my headlights also. so yeaaa

 

if you can go 5+ days? then send them out for
painting for best results..imo cant think of the guys name
on here that does a great job out in Cali

overlays do require patience to get it right

 

Paint is very clean. Overlays are way less $ and can be removed in minutes.

 

can i paint those in Smoke like the ones bluebat has it for 06 style GTR ? and how much am i looking at ?

 

Overlay's really aren't that hard to install. I've never done one in my life and I did mine in about 2 hrs. Probably could do them quicker now.

The 06 tails are probably harder but if you get the GTR style, then you don't have to worry about the ripples.

personally i'd go with overlays before painting just to make sure it's what you want, you can always remove vinyl...if you do spray them i'd go with a black paint over VHT tint

 

When you get this type of reflection from an overlay... talk to me



nuff said.

 

get the overlay, and paint those, so u can take em off and put em on when u want. simple

 

will vht tint spray stick and stay on an overlay? sounds likw a good idea if it qould stick good. cause i want mine dark as heck.

 

actual car paint,clear coat and polish
