What is vht tinting????????????? I am looking to tint my tail lights and side markers on my 2002 ws-6. I have no idea what vht is or where to by it!!!!!! Can someone point me in the right direction please?????????
Some of your local Auto Parts house carry it. Advance has it here in Cincinnati.
VHT is a Tint: Take out your lights and wetsand or use Scotchbrite pad just enough to dull the surface. Use Dawn dishwashing liquid to clean the light before you use the VHT. Spray the first coat very lite. The coat will help the heaver coats stick so that it does not run. Wait at least 30 min's between coats. ONLY DO 3 COATS!!!!!!!! let it set for an hour then use some of Duplic Color Van & Truck Clear. Spray this the same way, first coat very lite then wait 30min and spray another coat. I did about (6) coats of clear.You can install the lights after it drys. Let the lights set for about a week then you can wet sand them with 1200/1500wet sand and buff

Here's an up close one, sorry don't have one with the lights on but it's light enough that you can see the amber and turn signals just fine.. These have 4 coats of VHT, plus 3 coats of clear.
