I smoked my tail light but i had to redo it beacuse i sprayed to much. So go kinda light to begin with and make sure you use a clear coat.

yaaaa lol... its worth it though... alot nicer than painting it... with the night shades and other window paint etc u lose some of that shine/gloss... with the vinyl if u apply it correctly it comes out looking factory as though there is nothing on it. Also, if you have that 5th gen accord the tails should be fairly flat... you can even use window tint. they come out darker though but they look nice and its cheaper than vinyl.

This person used 5% scratch resistant window tint...

OR you can buy this cheaper vinyl that is sold by the feet.... it has 5 year warranty on it etc they dont come out as dark....

They have it on that website for fairly cheap... you need the oracle series dark gray i believe the color is...

but like i said they arent as dark...

differnce between the two vinyls is that the laminx is alot thicker and darker. both are pretty stretchy so it is very flexible to work with, you just need to heat it up and use some soap/water solution. The window tint wont be flexible at all so if you choose to use window tint you will need to make sure u have no curves or bumps etc... gotta be fairly flat.

ive used both vinyls and i prefer the laminx over the oracle anyday... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

What kinda tint do you have on your car, ephyoukay?

 

[ephyouckay 10+ year member]

window tint? or do u mean for the tail light? i used vinyl from laminx - its the same stuff as rockblocker. they are cutouts your lay over the tails. but u will need a hairdyers and soup/water solution to get them on... requires you to heat up vinyl and stretch it out a bit to cover tail light. not hard //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

NOT really... just apply several light gloss/clear coats on top.

I like using Nite Saades it comes out shiny if you wet sand the nite shades and then apply clear. It will cost you like $20 in material and will shine like glossy black paint if you do it right.
