antony 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2006 (edited) i was tinting my side indercators with some tint spray from repco , but before i did the front ones i showed a mate and he questioned how the legal they were. All i could say was "i dont know". as ive seen it done on here a few times and was wondering if any one had any who had done it has had any problems with wof, etc?

E30stz 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2006 I've been through a VTNZ WOF with tinted front indicators. Basically I think the rule is it has to flash the colour orange and be seen from a certain distance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 35 Report post Posted April 26, 2006 Tchnically it is not allowed unless tey are tinted plastic. the rule says you are not allowed to apply a coating or film to your lights be they indicators, tail lights or whatever. However, if they are not stupidly dark and can be clearly seen it seems the testing stations don't worry about it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Simcox_325i 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 ok this may sound dumb, but do spray the tint on the outside or inside of the indicators?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
E30stz 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 (edited) outside yes - heres a pick or two. I did 3 or 4 coats, I suggest you do 1 coat leave it to dry for 30mins or so then do another coat.. etc. Mine came out very well, dark, not black but still flashed orange.

Cress 0 Report post Posted May 6, 2006 I did a tint to my indicators, they came up mint. me and sparkle got some of that spray on tint and did the indicators like E30stz. i also did the front and rear indicators. as as long as you dont go over the top then they will be fine. i did my front and rear ones with 4 coats of light spray, so they kept the glossy look. Also they dont make them stand out too much. Heres a pic of the finished job, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
