tinting the corners

[skriFF]

The color scheme on my car is red and black so I thought I would black out the orange side markers below the head lights on it.

Ive been told there are like 3 different ways to do it though:

1)but them off of ebay or an online shop

2)nightshade? ive only heard a little bit about it but its like a kind of spray that you spray on the lens after sanding them a little bit?

3)get this very thin film used for tinting the windows on RC cars and put that over it, then use a heat gun to shrink it down, friend with a WRX did it and he said it worked well

what is the best option?

[BLLDOGG]

i would just buy the covers. i got mine from rksport.com

[skriFF]

i could do that but i dont like the idea that somebody can take them if they want to. like if i were at work or the car was siting in the parking lot and i were gone somewhere. good example would be at like a mall or something with tons of stupid kids around

if youre talking about the rear corners (which it appears you're not [img]smile.gif[/img] ), i suggest going with the method your buddy with the rex used. i did the same to my rear corners and it worked quite well. front corners are curved and ive found the niteshades or just buying the covers the way to go for anything with a curve to it. of course, we may have used different methods to get it to lay right :D

the ones from rk sport i didnt like because they use suction cups to stay on.. that just doesnt seem reliable.

[916Topherv6]

suction cups? wtf u sure u got them from rksport? mine had these velcro like tabs on them. another reason why i switched up to niteshades, someone can take them whenever they want. if u get covers, glue them on. if u do niteshades let me know i can help ya with any info u need to know

mine were velcro too

[bcraig]

i had the velcro ones too for my car and now i have one. I was driving down the highway and it blew off in the rain, so if you go for the velcro or something like that i would secure it better to the car. same thing happen to my tail light covers, they just popped on, so now i have 1 of each

[skriFF]

thats exactly what i want to avoid, somebody stealing them or having them blow off while i drive on the freeway)which i do a lot

niteshade rules, get a can for 10 bucks and sand them down and paint them. Do this in coats though, very light coats to keep it from dripping. Once you have the niteshade on go ahead and use a clear spraypaint to protect the niteshade and shine it all up nice.

[skriFF]

so i just sand downt the outside surface that is gonna be painted and then spray it on in even coats, then clear coat it? im gonna go see if i can find the guide on how to do it properly

[Loochy88]

check the faq

[skriFF]

yup, thats what i did, thanks, now that i found a guide on how to do it, i have a couple questions

1. can you just buy it from a store? or is online the only way?

2. should i/do i wetsand after the shade has been put on?
