customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author 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
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author Posted February 3, 2014 this was gloss but obviously not in the light, camera makes it look a little grey though but it wasnt
BlackBosh Posted February 3, 2014 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
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author 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
customlightz Posted February 3, 2014 Author 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
BoofleGem Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Which area are you from? Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
customlightz Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Did I scare everyone off when I said wigan haha
Jay762 Posted February 5, 2014 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
customlightz Posted February 5, 2014 Author Posted February 5, 2014 Lol well I do a delivery service but it would mean the owners car not being drivable at the time
Jay762 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Gem's a smart cookie - I'm sure she'll sort something out, in between planning her holidays that is ;)
BoofleGem Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Lol, Jay, my mind got side tracked by the holiday thread! Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
BoofleGem Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Customlightz I am still interested and want them doing I,m just debating when the best time would be if you need the lights for a period of time. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
BlackBosh Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 sorry I went quiet i just did mine myself today, and went with your advice on satin, got to say it looks the muts, money being tight and all 1
BoofleGem Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Ok I,m jealous now, I daren,t have a go myself. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
BlackBosh Posted February 5, 2014 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
BoofleGem Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Well my new smoked headlights have arrived for my bug, so I deffo need the rears doing, could do with someone closer to me. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk

BoofleGem Posted February 9, 2014 Posted February 9, 2014 If I get some of the folitech spray do I need any lacquer for them too. Sent from my HTC One mini using Tapatalk
