i would like some opinions on my idea of spraying that night shade spray on my tail lights.

i have a factory gta with the original tail lights. in a perfect world i will buy new ones and paint my old ones and rock em. i would like to especially paint the reflector and just a light dusting on the rest as they already have a dark effect from the factory.

does anyone have a picture of 91 gta tail lights sprayed?
does anyone think i might live to regret this? i plan on keeping my car with 16'' black cross lace wheels and maybe a ram air hood in the near future. its all black.

i just dont want to find out years down the road i have to spend like 500buck to get new or even used ones!

what you guys think?

 

and how does this spray stand the test of time? i might just hit the reflector and call it a day.

 

Dont spray them, their are hard to find.

 

I know they are not the GTA taillights but here are mine that I did. I think it turned out pretty good.

 

buy some v6 or formy taillights and spray em and keep ur rare GTA lights original

 

I'm with these guys. Buy other taillights to paint.

 

People are still tinting tail lights? I quit doing that back in the 90's. Is it popular again?

 

not sure if its what the cool kids are doing but in my opinion if done right and not to dark i really like the look.

 

yes sir! this looks awesome, hope to find some tail lights soon! youve sold me.

 

Just be careful of the police. If memory serves, they didn't particularly care for it.

 

I like it but I wouldnt do the GTA lights. maybe some formula lights or something. I am going to do mine someday just not right now

 

Like others have said I wouldn't do it to the TA lights either.

 

i emailed a guy today to see if he has tail lights for sale.

ive been thinking about this for a few years now but just havent done it because it seems sinful. it would actually cost me the price of a new set. money is better spent elsewhere. eg tint, seats, stall...

thanks for all the input. ive always made a point not to follow trends that will come and go with time or disrupt a this cars original apperence. these cars look great right from factory.

 

Ill trade you mines for yours!!!!!!

 

I have the grid Z28 lights.Should I mask the grid and only do the lenses themselves or do everything?

 

I did it to my 90 Camaro and couldnt be more happy.

 

Heres another picture

 

VHT Niteshades always looks really cheap to me... There never seems to be enough shine, or looks like a rough finish. Might be the person spraying them or preperation?

I have not done taillights on my car, but I have tinted other tails and various other lights for friends, and have my own "nightshades" mixed up into a spray can at Napa.

At my Napa I had them mix clear and gloss black 10:1 ratio into a spray can. Cost $15.99, then you can make them as dark or as light as you want (with multiple coats), and they are shiny as all hell!

Just a thought for you guys using the VHT... there is a quality alternative
