Tail light tinting.

[brightbuell]

Here is the tinting I bought and here is what it looks like. In person it looks even better. It costed me $4.50 for the tenting spray $4.50 shipping under $10 dollars to do this mod using my own stock tail light lens. You can go farther by getting LED etc. I am happy wth this. Check out this sight for the tinting I used.

Here is the lens finneshed. I did not include a pic of the stock lens cause we know what it looks like bright red.

Here is the lens with the light off, on, and breaked.

Good deal Bright. Please let me know how it holds up over time. I'm definitely curious.

I did the same thing on my bike over a year ago, ive also done this to a few taillights of vehicles ive owned. My only problem is that the tinting spray becomes dull after awhile and it required a respray. Since I have a fender chop, ive resprayed the lens like 3 times. I actually had to use paint thinner the last time to get it off. Other than all that Its a great cheapo mod that looks great. Maybe not legal but good looking none the less.

I got some at my local AutoZone, I think it was rustoleum or one of those brands. I put on about three coats and a coat of your basic clear coat and it looks perfect. I will post pics when I get a chance.

Sam...all US states have the same dimension of motorcycle plates. The only exception is Minnesota which is a bit smaller.

US states plate dimensions

BTW Bright, what part of MO are you from?

 

[brightbuell]

Im in South City, Saint Louis. South West Gardens area.
The plate does look HUGE!! Im not shure why it looks so big.

Also The tinting that I used is made for plastic modles, so it actually melts into the plastic of the lense and becomes part of the plastic. I used 4 coats. You can go lighter or darker its up to you. For the price you cant go wrong.

Yeah I knew that except for the Minnesota fact[up] I was just makin a joke cause in the pic it looks huge. Probably looks big to me cause mine is mounted vertical.
