Not to long ago i was reading another thread somewhere on here and someone
( I can't remeber who now) Mentiond a method they used for tinting there turn signals. I thought is sounded pretty cool nd quite easy so i figured i would give it a try.

This was my first time working with any real kind of bodys mod and paint. I think it turned out ok.

It was pretty hard to get all the crack lines out of the paint. The plastic lenses when i started did not look like they were cracked at all. But the paint really brought out all the little imperfections in the Plastic lenses.

I am still not to sure how to finish these off to get rid of the final craks and orange peel afect with the clear coat but here they are

BTW: Thank you to who ever suggested using Tint Spray for models and duplicolour Clear coat along with a bit of wet sanding

The pictures are kind of odd with the flash the tint looks less dark and without you can kind of see the cracks and orange peel

Ah yes!

Thank you NDboost

it does look great. I cant wait to get started on my other lights.

I think it would be a great idea maybe you could even get some brand new turn signals from Champion for cheap in a Quantity buy to make it easier for you to do the tinting and so people can buy they strait from you with out sending there old light to you first.

I also bought some EUROLIT3 White LED Bulbs to replace the 1156 and 194 in the turn signal I have not lit them up yet but i hope they look good and are bright enought to shine through that tint

also thank you to eveyone for the feedback
