One thing I've always been curious about is how people tint there tail lights, indicators etc. Is there a particular paint you can buy or a particular process you use use to tint/smoke lights or indicators? Or is it something that needs to be done professionally? In most cases I've looked at it almost looks like a dark clear paint has been spray over the top of it (or inside it?) to give it its finish.

Cheers,

Night Shades - available from supercheap etc, youll find it hidden on the shelves somewhere....

Illegal too, but looks good...

Best way, take the lights off put them side by side and do heaps of thin light coats untill you have desired darkness.....

My mate stuck a layer of gloss over them to and they look much better.,..

ive got a can of nightshades in my cupboard, along with some clear coat...

bought it with the intention to add a bit of tint to my rear indicators on my R33, but never got around to it....

should cost you about $14 for the can...look for the dude with the dark glasses on a silver/blue can with a black lid :D

    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
    • For DBA, check out their guide table here. https://dba.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/01/Direct_Replacement-Guide-2021.2.pdf   Additionally they have some other guides and info on how to make sure you choose the right pad.
    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
