Lens Tinting

Recommended Posts

Someone mentioned on a thread a few months ago about the tint you can buy to do this. Ive looked everywhere in the shops and have searched the site but have found nothing.

I seem to remember it being stained glass window tint and whoever it was also mentioned the shop it could be found in.

So if that was you (or you know what I can buy and from where) please let me know....I need to rid my car of GINGE !

In the new plasticote range there is a window stainer.It says its red but I tried it on some plastic bottles and it was like a pale red/pink colour.That was one coat and like without shaking it cos I didn't want anyone to hear me doing it!

Give that a try,it's like $10 from Mitre 10

VHT Window tint from Repco is an option, but a poor one at that.

I have a brand new smoking can, unused if you want it?

Recommend Ollie for this stuff, unless you wanted to DIY.

workmanship is a big thing with tinting ya lights. Make sure to cover the rest of the light with newpaper and mask off the section you dont want to do.

I just let Gareth (ipwnyou) borrow my tint spray the other day. All it is was stained glass window paint from Mitre 10 Mega. It comes in a spray can and althoguh I couldnt find candy apple red like people suggested I tried a more pinky red and it came out a treat, you can barely notice the difference. I'll see if I can get ahold of gareth to find out what brand / colour you should look for.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks fellas.

This is definately DIY as Ive done it several times before. Its not hard and even if you get it wrong you can buy to removal stuff and take it all off again.

I just couldnt remember what it was it was called thats all.

Andy, if you can let me know what its called I would be grateful.
