Best vht tint outcome I have seen. Nice work.
Thank you!
I had a can of VHT ready to do my truck taillights. Never even dawned on me to wet sand or clear coat. 8:00 I had 2000grit at home. They turned out fantastic. Thank u for this video!
That’s awesome! I’m glad the video gave you the idea for sanding and clear coating!
I was gonna be lazy glad I found this
All your mods are on point man. I have the same corolla and every video your release is like a teaser for me
Glad to know you like the videos. Thanks 🙏
I feel you bro, I got the s model so I’m a couple of features ahead of his car but every mod he comes out with I feel like I need to do to mine too 😅
best application and outcome i've seen!
Thank you!! Really appreciate it!
Love the end product 👏🏻
Thanks 👍
love the vids man keep it up
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the video very helpful
Thank you! I hope the video helped!
Thank you!
🔥🔥🔥
👍 👍
Hello, would it be fine to do with just one coat of the VHT if you do not want it too dark? Also what clear coat do you reccomend
Hello is it fine to do with just one coat if you do not want it too dark? Also what clear coat do you reccomend
Does this count as tinting in terms of legality in Cali? or would tinting refer specifically to something vinyl/polyester wrapped?
I’m not sure if this would be considered a tint or not, I believe just is just a clear spray paint with a darker pigment. But you can also control how dark or light your lights will come out with with how many coats you put on.
Hello and thank you for the video. Its been about 2 years since you made the video, do you still have the car and are you seeing any discoloration?
I had them off my car for about 6 months, but ended up putting these back onto my new corolla, and they still look brand new!
How long was the wait time in between coats for the vht and clear coat?
I probably waited about 30 minutes between the VHT and the clear coat.
👏👏👏
👍 👍
So you did the vht, wet sanded with 2000, two coats of clear coat, one more wet sand and then hand polished?
Yes that is correct! You could probably omit the first wet sand if you are in a time crunch.
how do you polish and buff after wet sand
I just take some Meguiars polish for plastic, and a microfiber pad, and I just polish it by hand, because I don’t have a polisher!
How long did you wait for the VHT to dry before wet sanding? Thanks!
I believe I let the VHT dry for about an hour before wet sanding it, and the clear coat I let sit over night before wet sanding and polishing.
Nice 👍
Thank you!
A question, does it reduce the light source
Depending on how many layers you put, if you only do a couple, it won’t effect it much, but if you put multiple layers it can start to block the light!
great info, btw please lower the BG music volume next time please!
Thank you! Will keep that in mine for my new videos!
Nice 👍🏽
Thank you! 🙏
So after you apply your vht let’s say two coats each within 10-15 min from each coat what is wait time to sand ? And finally when to sand after applying 2-3 clear coats?
Asking and will do testing want to offer this my business and will ofcourse do ima practice twilights but would like to know your ultimate thoughts would like ti get it done within that same dat turnaround ?
I would say I would wait about an hour, for the VHT coats to wet sand. But To be honest, you might not need to do it depending how well the VHT went down. I sanded it because it seemed pretty rough and had some imperfections.
And for the clear coat I would at least a minimum of 6-12 hours. Depending on how cold and humid the weather is. But if you can wait even longer that would be better.
Same day turn around might be pushing it, unless you really start early, and can finish kind of late.
Understood and what I figured maybe would have to offer to come back and finish them up after the clear coat or them just leave lights with me thanks man 🙏🏼
Do you think people
Still
Would want this kind of service now a days over actual tint!?
@@THATLTRFOUR50 yeah either if you can keep the lights for over a day would probably better.
I still like to tint my taillights, also this way works much better on very complex shaped tail lights. Where your typical tint won’t stretch on certain angles.
I would say many people like the tinted look, they just don’t won’t to pay for the expensive price for after market tail lights.
So if you could offer at a decent price. Where it’s still much cheaper then nice after market lights, but still offers a nice tint for less then half of a new set of tail lights.
Could I do this if I cover all around the light without having to take it completely off?
Yeah people do that, you just have to be more careful when you do that, because this doesn’t come off your paint. So just got to tape off and mask off really good!
Greetings, I have the same car but I can't use a led in 9005 because they fliclkering a lot, what led 9005 do you use?
I’m just running a cheap set as well. And they do the same thing. There is no fix for this issue. Other then some people make decoders for these lights and all it does it make them run at full brightness all the time!
@@BrandonStellmach The same, I don’t want to use it at full all the time :(
Can you remove it back to normal if you clear coat them?
It would not be easy to remove, you would need to sand and re clear coat it.
If I finish following the steps, and I decide I want the tail lights to be darker after i polish them, can I just west sand them and go over it with another layer of VHT and clear coat? Or do I need to remove all of it?
If you polish it up, and decide you want it darker. I would atleast give them a quick sand with scotch brite to rough up the surface a little so the paint sticks better.
But you should be able to tell when your applying the VHT, if it’s dark enough or not, and then just add an additional coat before the clear coat.
What did you use to "polish" it at the end after clear coating and wet sanding?
I just used a meguiars paint polish. Don’t remember the exact one.
@@BrandonStellmach so polishing it didn't give it any haze look or yellowing? And rub in by hand or did you use a power polisher?
@@chacebusness6451 I just did it by hand using a micro fiber polish pad! And as for haze or yellowing I did not notice any of that.
What kind of cutting compound?
I was just using meguiars ultimate compound.
👍😎👍
👍 👍
How long will it last with clear coat like you did it?
Should last a pretty long time! I had mine for about 2 years and they drilled looked like new!
Only reason I don’t have it anymore is because I upgraded my tail lights!
Thanks bro, did you end up sanding the clear coat?
I don’t know if it’s the headlight tint or the laquer spray but after I let the tint spray dry and apply laquer it removes the tint lol wtf I’m gonna have to remove it all again tomorrow and redo without the laquer
I know humidity can cause problems with the clear coat. Never heard it remove it.
What did you use to polish?
I just used a meguiars ultimate compound to polish them.
Did u sand after u sprayed ?
Yes I did a quick sand after the VHT, and then I did a finally wet sand and polish after the clear coat!
Good 🚘
Thank you 🙏
@@BrandonStellmach I really respect your work.you are a good car mechanic, a professional who knows the business.
Thank you for your support, I really appreciate it!
@@BrandonStellmach my car corolla (ruclips.net/user/shorts-2KIBDqEeZo?feature=share ))
I want to install an aerodynamic body kit on my car
Does it matter what type of clear coat used?
Preferably an automotive clear coat. Either 2K clear, or some type of clear gloss for the cars paint or wheels. Because this clear coat has other protections usually including UV, so it won’t turn yellow.
How does it hold up?
They have been holding up great!
hope to get reply back after clearcoat did u polish it? or can i polish it?
Yes after the clear coat, you can polish for a nicer finish.
Do you go wash your car at a camel express your car looks really familiar I am in northern flordia haha 😂
And work at a car wash it looks really cool!!
I have not. I live in central Florida.
Must of been a twin of my corolla!
600 wetsands all you need to do first
It is good to know!
