Tinted Vinyl Sheets

[Silvia GTR]

Does anyone know where to get the Vinyl tint stuff (the shiz you use to smoke up your indicators etc.)

Im looking for big sheets

Thanking you in advance

Im not sure if this helps but. You can buy a product called night shades in a spray can made by VHT ( its made for indicators and tail lights) or you can get a roll of tint stuff at repco? not sure about the vinyl part tho :|

I was under the impression that the gear was made out of vinyl...

I dont really care what its made out of as long as it can take sunlight without shrivelling up...

well repco sell it in rolls for DIY tinting so its pretty cheap so

deaaaaaaaaad sexy....

the tint film doesnt shrivel up... but the sun tends to bake it in to the plastic - impossible to get off.

^^ have you had any problems with the police?

Kmart sells the shit too .. $40 for a roll same as repco gear..

none as of yet *touch wood*

as long as it's a good balance between allowing the yellow through and looking dark it's not really noticeable unless someone points it out to you. one of those subtle things that you cant quite put your finger on.

it's easily removed with a solvent - that said, reversing is a bitch with the windows and lights tinted

has anyone got pics of their indicators done in that nightshades stuff? i tried my local repco and auto barn and they only had the spray. does normal (window) tint film work on indicators?

I did the spray on my indicators (yellow) just to see what kinda look it gave, and it was sweet.

Just tape around it and spray away.

Ended up swapping to the nismo smoked indicators... same thing.

[Basti]

i have already got the nismo sides dude. wanna do my rears so they'll match up

[Omurru]

just use the night shades stuff, although you do have to remove your lights to do it properley...

I like it ALOT!

I have been thinking about doing this to my 4 door R34. Im still deciding.

1. Laws lol

2. If i ever want it the was it was originally (for resale for eg) can I the SPRAY off?

Any help would be much appreciated

You can get the stuff off fairly easily, but I would recommend a clear gloss over the top cause it does dry almost matt...

I do need to give them a gloss coat..

The lower black strip was done with vinyl...

and thats using clear light assemblies with coloured glodes, I should take a phot of them light up in day to show you...

Looks good mate did u do that to the outer of your break light or get in behind it?

[75coupe]

Its done on the outer of the lens, I guess I could of done it inside the lens but that would mean breaking apart the assembly which is different to stock ones.. If your using the stock light it will definitely need to be done on the outside of course...

Ohh good!

I just did the reverse and indicator light on my four door 34 be cos its seperate to the round break lights i wanted to match it to the car (its black) and give it more of a classic skyline look. I just wanted to make sure it was ok to do it to the outside because of sun exposure and such. Just to clarify have u used anything to protect the spray like a gloss coat?

[75coupe]

Yes a gloss coat should be done afterwards to protect the tint spray and to give it a glossy finish otherwise it looks a bit cheap and average...
