    If you have any questions please let me know in the comments below and i will be happy to help you out!
    Tint Film:
    Easy removal with a heat gun but can leave residue when removed
    High quality, thick material will last for 3-5 years
    Protects light lens from rock chips and road debris
    Restores hazy lights and hides light scratches
    Different shades and many colors available
    Spray Tint:
    Can easily coat complex shaped lights with dramatic curves
    Removable but depending on what you use, you can damage the light lens
    Durable but will fade overtime
    Restores hazy lights and reduces scratches on light
    3-4 coats required, depending on how light or dark you want it
    Black tint used to smoke out lights and red tint used to restore fading red on light or spray a clear part red

    For Spraying method ;; If you're not sure how dark or light you may want yours . . Turn the taillights on while tenting so that you get a better vision on seeing how much you want it or how less you prefer it.... I once did it this way and made it much easier to see how it's coming out. ..

    I've enjoyed the spray tint process. With spraying, it's possible to get the level of tinting you want, and it's easy to mask off different parts of the light to get different levels of tint on clear vs red plastic light housings.

    I've always done a spray tint when restoring headlights and taillights for friends with rustoleum. I'd sand the original clear completely off and spray with the tint, and then go over with a good, wet layer of 2k clear with 2 or 3 layers. This has always worked for me and given an extremely deep shine after polishing and waxing. And it works with any shade from a light smoke to full blackout.

    • @EhabHalat
      @EhabHalat  4 роки тому +7

    • @EhabHalat
      @EhabHalat  4 роки тому +1

      Thank you! When using the spray tint you have to start off with a light coat and then medium coats. Make sure you are about 6-8 inches away from the light and do 50% over lapping coats for smoothest finish.

    The spray can easily stay on longer then wrap.. first of all I always take of the lights to get the paint all around the corners.. second, I finish with a 2K clear coat to make a perfect and much stronger finish! And therefore I can also polish it if it gets wash scratches!
    And I can also decide how dark I want it with spray.

    My Aussie VF series 2 Calais Sports wagon. (Chevy Camaro SS) Has big complex tail lights that have a convex bulge in the middle with a fairly sharp edge at the bottom. The Vivid wrap was near to impossible even with a second person using the heat gun. Smaller flatter tail lights the Vivid wrap would be achievable with patience with another person handling the heat gun duties. I have to resort to using the VHT tint spray with a few coats of gloss clear coat for longevity.

      Update. The vivid wrap just takes practice,patience and perseverance to self apply. The key is sufficient heat to mould and stretch working out any air bubbles. With care it will look way better and last indefinitely. Over any tint sprays.

Maybe they like that fuzzy inconsistency that all rookie spray-jobbers have. Do it right, even if it takes a few tries, looks multitudes better than tagging your ride.
