Ok. Waaaaaaay better than videos I see of other dudes putting just the night shade no peel tint and messing theyre lights up. I havent seen anyone get it right until thisss video. I am using your method. Thank you
Welp. Now that spring is in the air and its not freezing, I have come back to watch again because I am going to do my own lights today using your method :) I have already done alot of Plastidipping to eliminate the chrome on my Infiniti. Im excited for this! Wish me luck!
Going to be using your method today! But i'm going to mask off the taillight where the brake/turn signal sits and try to make a pac-man style design. Don't know if i should do pac-man on the other or bring in Ms.pac-man. We will see!
Great video, I'm just trying to darken my headlights a bit because of some new LED bulbs. Do I need the Night shades step if I'm just going to want it gray but not blacked out?
I have been thinking of using other peel coat products but I am apprehensive because many say it should be removed after 6 months. This may not be for the tint product here but do you know if it's thar bad? Is there any treatment thar makes it last?
@@bobbyopalewski6642 The rustoleum eliminates the need to wet sand etc, makes it tacky for the night shades, and if you mess up you can then peel it off. If you use The night shades and mess up or go to dark etc. Thats it man.
You don't need to sand. You don't need peelable, just spray it and if it looks shit use alcohol to clean it, that simple. Stay away from anything peelable, I spray as a job and your making it worse.
@benmartin4489 so your experience just use the nightshade, don't prep with the rust peel product rec here? What about after the nightshade? Wetsand or any clear spray to seal? Thanks for your approach
@neildeatherage2269 a clear coat lacquer will be fine. just a thin layer. Always let it dry before applying an additional layer of any type of spray. I didn't wet sand before I applied it either and haven't seen any difference in my girls car. ( she wet sanded) it's been on 5 months and no peel. When you want to get it off, mask your car up and spray alcohol on the lights and leave it soak a few mins, apply some more and let it soak then get a scrubbing sponge and go to work.
Excellent. I think I'll try this with my Jeep first. Then, my Mercedes. Where do you get the Rust-oleum Peel Cote Lens Tint? And, where do you get the VHT Nite-Shades? How much does each cost?
@@tintdr I asked the question SIX MONTHS AGO. And, you answered SIX HOURS AGO. For others who are reading this, this is the problem with people who post videos and don't respond to questions or comments right away. They aren't of much value!
Now I know other people sand it, then spray it with clear with a touch of black. Then wet sand and polish. I know. With doing it this way. No need for all that.
@@gaudentiusgrishnackh322 the Rust-Oleum peel coat, I'm assuming is just like Plasti dip but clear and that's why it's used first before the nite-shades
Because its light and is honestly no good other then tacky and gives it a knockdown texture so when spraying VHT it adhere,s very well. Also so whe. You want to remove it, you added the peel coat first
The Rustoleum Peel Coat Lens Tint a terrible product! I wanted to give it a good faith try. I applied it to my 2015 Golf. I applied about half a can to my two rear tail lights (7 to 8 coats) and almost a full can to my front headlights (about 12 to 14 coats). You can hardly tell the lights have been tinted. I spent a lot of hours properly prepping and applying. The spray remains slightly “tacky” to this day. After a few gentle car washes there appears to be water streaks on the lights that will not come out. I can’t wait to remove this product. Do not purchase! What a waste of time and money.

Thank you
@@tintdr 🥰
I find that a mild tint really makes the light more noticeable when lit. Don't go to dark tho!

@@tintdr yeah, sure did, sold the Infiniti and have an E class now, blacked it all out lol haha, the clear peeling base coat is the key
Any videos on blacking out your chrome? Just interested
@@samanosukeakechi4388 no. Best advice, thin coats, or it will drip. Patience is key.
I felt like am in a class or training center 😁. Btw well done I really enjoyed it. Very straight forward steps and great advices.
Thanks pal
Now what we're going to do is make it look sexxxxxaaaaaaaaaahhhhh 😂💪🏾💯
Thank you 🙏🏾 Great job🤙🏾
Just to confirm wait 10 minutes between coats
every time you do a coat I think thats it no more, then BAAMM another coat
Lmao 🤣 same
Going to give this method a try before i resort to buying vinyl film
Awesome
I've used the lense tint and it took a lot of coats but it does get dark
“That’s it” 😂🍾
Looks good
The sirens in the background is a nice touch 🤣
There is no WRONG WAY, It's either the RIGHT WAY OR THE SMART WAY
and this video Shows the SMART WAY.
Thanks pal
Did you ever do a video showing this on the truck so we can see what it looks like & with the lights on?? I can't find it if you did.

Hey man great video, is there an alternative to the rust oleum peel coat as I can’t find that anywhere here in the UK, not even on Amazon :(
Not sure

can you make a video of peeling it off?
I did notice you where in Florida with the sound of police sirens in the back👍
I can tell your in Florida lol all them sirens 🚨🤣😂
Love your method, very simple! How would this hold up during winter months, I’m from Toronto so it gets very cold up here!
Hold up just fine man
Shots gonna look like a black headlight randomly falling off then your car is gonna look like it has one black eye
@@chi7cag7oan3 nah it holds up great I love on the north east never had a problem
I put window tint on my lights. Easy, fast, clean and never came off. 5 minutes per light
You needed a heat gun tho right?
How long did you wait between the peel coat and the night shades? I waited 10 minutes, first coat of night shades cracked all over the place..
I go back and forth Florida to N.Y allot, no issues
@@tintdr I had the same issue, when I put my first coat of VHT on it cracked all over the place....
@@bendersback did you do a light coat? Also did you leave the can out in the sun? And did you do it on a warm summer day with light humidity???
Thank you it helps a lot but I'm going to have to put you on pause because I have to go make my car look sex!
where can we see the finished result on the vehicle?
The "right way" to tint your headlights and taillights would be to apply some headlight and taillight tint/vinyl to them.
How has this held up? How much light is allowed through afterwards?
Buy brighter lights before u do this
I installed LED and its been great and very bright
What City are You in. I want mine done
Will this work on headlights
What grade sandpaper would you use
2000 grid
How has this held up for you now that it’s been a while???
Great, no issues at all
I’m just curious should I put that lens coat on or it doesn’t matter? Does it make it not look as “painted” Just wondering what it’s exactly used for
I see people using one or the other so just not sure why to use both? No hate at all just wondering, looks great!

You haven't been to the auto parts store alot? Or even walmart car section
Check the description, amazon, auto part store etc

1. Go to www.google.com. 2. type in "Where to buy VHT Nite-Shades?" 3. Do whatever it says.

Maybe u should make your own video
@@noelongoria2589 funny because you just watched my video I made
couldn't help but notice u sound like sal vulcano
and its still removable right ?
Yes
Removable? How?
@@gaudentiusgrishnackh322 the Rust-Oleum peel coat, I'm assuming is just like Plasti dip but clear and that's why it's used first before the nite-shades
What if you put 2k clear coat on top? Will it affect it peeling off?
It may
Of course it would 2k is not flexible at all .it would come off but it come off in little pieces
dam you really use bounty paper? that shit is expensive as of now Lol #fuckcovid19
That’s it
Why wouldnt you just use the peel coat lol
Because its light and is honestly no good other then tacky and gives it a knockdown texture so when spraying VHT it adhere,s very well. Also so whe. You want to remove it, you added the peel coat first
We’re gonna make this sexyy!!
I professionally spray for a living. The only advice i would suggest is to never use that peel stuff. Alcohol spray will wash it off either way
Thats the point, to be bale to remove it
Lens tint suck by it self more then 1 can to get the job done
All you New Yorkers invading Florida.

Use it as a prep coat
Agreed all of the Rust-Oleum peelable products are trash .i used it on my wheels and trim it came off and was just a shitty experience..
You should have used it as a prep coat only like I showed in the video and then the night shades
I used it like you said and it still peels off in patches. Alot of prep work for nothing...🤬
@@fatherof3792 I already got it now. You thought it was going to look like the video.
Where are all the professional videos, not these rattle can videos
