customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 the subarus on the first page are in satin, ive only done 1 or 2 in matt or gloss so will have to see if I took any pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 this was gloss but obviously not in the light, camera makes it look a little grey though but it wasnt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackBosh Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Ah my bad bit of confusion, I was on about when you tint the rear lights do they go glossy haha oops Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Haha yes very shiny. I rub them flat and spray a lacquer over the top. I don't use savage tint spray which makes them cloudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 Here's some more closer pics. The one on gravel was done first but I wanted to go darker hence the other pic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay762 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 It does look that way doesnt it - You're the other side of the Pennines to Gem, might have been a bit of a shock for her :D This forum is a comparatively new one to many which is great in one respect as you dont get overwhelmed but there can be lulls in the conversations / rambling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
customlightz Posted February 5, 2014 Author Share Posted February 5, 2014 Lol well I do a delivery service but it would mean the owners car not being drivable at the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Gem's a smart cookie - I'm sure she'll sort something out, in between planning her holidays that is ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackBosh Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Its easy, did mine in about 3 hours, definitely not as scary as I first thought it would be. They'd be back on the car already but I'm hoping my new silver bulbs come tomorrow tho I do have orange ones if i really need/want to drive it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
