So, I ordered a couple cans of VHT Nite-Shade and they should be coming in the next few days. I already plan to tint the corners, side markers, and 3rd brake light. I'm still on the fence about the tails since I have the Berger panel done. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone has tried tinting the fogs and headlights of an LT1 Camaro, and if you have, can I see some pics of what it looks like. I'm pretty sure that I'm going to try and tint the fogs, because I have a billet grille coming also. And I don't want them to show through during the day, when they aren't on. So, if you've done either, please post up some pics, so I can see what it looks like.

I haven't done it nor have I ever seen it, but I'd like to. I would do your tails like mine are done (everything tinted but the white reverse light area). I think it would look real good!

I did the fogs on my old 93 LT1 but when I turned the fogs on you could see blotchyness (if that is a word) you could see where the can didn't spray it out very even, so I just stopped turning on my fogs. Your best way to do it is spray it from a gun (single stage black/mixed with clear) I have used VHT nightshade tons of times and it works great but if I was to ever do it to fogs or headlights then I would use ssb/clear.

here is a write up i made hope that helps out a little.

Sweet. Thanks. I may not do the fogs then. Maybe they won't be that noticable behind the grille anyways. That write-up does look really helpful though. Instead of using the Scotch-brite pads, I could use 2000 grit wet/dry sandpaper couldn't I? I picked up some the other day, because I heard of people using it instead.

^^^I just figured it'd be the same as having headlight covers, only not look as bad.

what % are you looking into?

I'd probably just put a couple coats of Nite Shade on it, if I do it. I wouldn't make them super dark. Just a subtle smoked look.

I haven't personally used 2000 grit, but I am pretty sure that a green scotch bright pad is about 800 girt. You might run into adhesion problems but idk, never tried it.

I went ahead and used the 2000 grit earlier and it came out pretty nicely. I was a little unsure of how it would do when I got done sanding, since it didn't really do a whole lot to scuff up the surface. But, it stuck and the corners, side markers, and 3rd brake light are tinted for now. I decided not to tint the headlights now. I think I'm going to get some headlights like what 95GreenZ has on his car and just leave them how they are. I doubt I'll tint the fogs either. Still debating on tails.
