Tinting spray?
« on: September 11, 2011, 06:58:55 pm »
What are you guys using to tint your indicator lenses/lights?  I want to tint my fogs instead of using lamin-x as it has been on for a few years and is starting to crack/peel so think I'd like to try a tint.

Hi Sarah, I have just ordered this - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/270764645835?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 - to do my indicators and rear light clusters.  Other members have used it successfully but you will probably need a can of lacquer to add the 'gloss' factor to the finish.

HTH, Lee.

You could spray them with a cheap lacquer which will go yellow in a few months?   :laugh:
