blacked my 87 out

I was bored and didnt have anything else to do so I grabbed the VHT lense tint

I pulled my tail lights my third brake light and my tag lights tapped them off and tinted them

I made my tag ligths only have the spot close to the center bolt clear Ill get better pix of them when I get back to the shop



I still dont know if I like it or not but everyone else does

thanks i think they look good on this car.

Its actually a 2 tone primer lol

I wanted it to be different there are tons of black and gray primer third gens around here and I wanted to be different


What do you think they would look like on the moroon car in back ground of this pic?


by the way I am going to black out marker lights in fender/bumper

I got the GTO Covers for head lights but I think Id rather black them out also Would you recomend I paint lights with VHT or Use Covers?(reasoning behind not wanting to use covers I like the head light buckets

Re: blacked my 87 out

I have always wanted to get a set of those covers on my camaro. But from what I hear is that moisture can sometimes get behind the lenses and have condinsation.. Otherwise I am all for them!

The tail lights are painted with VHT Lense Paint

I am going to use it on head lights to see what I think I have like 15 sets of these lights so if I ruin a light Ill pitch it in the scrap pile lol

This is the Tint Paint I used here

Dont do your body in flat black(Your car looks too good)Black out all lights and leave it like that

If you want a fully murdered one buy a cheap one that needs paint and murder it

Thanks guys I was getting ready to do the marker/bumper/head lights then I got side tracked and decided Im yanking the motor out lol
