This light must be one of most difficult to remove...so I decided to spray tint it on the car. Here's what I did....

Materials used:

• VHT Night Shades Tint Spray
• Acrylic Clear Coat Spray
• Painters Tape
• Towel

To Prep: I cleaned the area around the brake light and used windex on the brake light itself. Make sure you use a microfiber towel so none of the lint gets on the light.

Taping: Rip long pieces of tape off and fold one edge over so it becomes flat and is easy to slide into groove around light. Surround entire light with tape, and make sure to also tape about 6-8 inches wider to prevent overspray. After taping is complete, lay the towel on top in order to prevent spray from landing on the decklid.

Starting the Taping Process


Taping Finished


Spraying: I used three coats of the VHT Night Shades and two coats of the clear acrylic. Use even spray patterns and do not go too fast. Make sure to start to the left of the light and end to the right of the light to ensure even coating, and the opposite when spraying the other direction. Allow about 7-9 minutes drying time in between each coat.

After One Coat of VHT Night Shades (note towel to prevent overspray)


After Three Coats of Night Shades and Two Coats Clear- Tale Removed


Remove tape slowly so that it does not rub against the light you just sprayed...and you are done! The cost was approximately $10 total.

i ordered 2 10-oz cans from ebay.. 11 bucks a piece.. i plan on doing taillights too and reverse..

I got mine from jegs.com

It's called VHT Nite-Shades. I then just bought a spray on clear coat and gave it a few coats of that also. In the end, it cost me about $7 and some of my time.

The taillights were sprayed by a body shop with black and a few coats of shop clear. It looks better than any spray, but for a small light like that, I would just use the spray tint.
