General Removing tint spray

[Seraph]

Hmm... tints spray has gone minging from the first of the can, anyone know how i can remove said tinting layer?

 

[Seraph]

ok, so i'm sure i'll find out at some point. right then.

anyone thinking of tinting their rear lenses with lens spray, a bit of advice.

DONT BOTHER. it looks crap. I mean utterly rubbish. by tint what they mean is that it gives a matt effect over your lenses letting less light through... no they don't match with the car (which was the problem before) AND they don't look clean n new.

if you spray a laquer finish on top, you will be left with the shiney new finish i fink you desire! Otha wise yes the matt finish dose look pants. I had it done on my old punto and used laquer and the result was

got some good quality thinners.. just gettin rid. i've found a replacement set of lights that i like, i will upgrade at a later date.
just wish i'd spent this time more productively skimming over my dash...

yeah sorry, thinners is they way to remove it but be carefull as you can easily ruin the lights doing it... yeah ive seen sum nice like a darken lights, not the lexus :yuck:

your doing it wrong, savage tint spray gives a lovely shine, much better than untinted lights

its matt because you are not doing it thick enough, i found this out, (i spent £40 on tint spray then realised i needed to do it thicker)

What about mixing a small amount of the fiat colour into lacquer and spraying that over-chav fiesta style?

Dude, if i wanted it BLACK and Illegal, then yes it would be good.

Paint thinner and my lights are fine now.
I'll get the replacements when i find some that don't look "lexus"

If you read the info with the spray it will no doubt say that the stuff is for show use only and may not be road legal. It does look good with the black lights, Daves Punto looks wicked, but the stuff makes your lights less effective and therefore can be dangerous if other drivers don't see your lights, especially in fog.

 

[dave]

light gets through tint better than dirt, you dont notice mine are tinted at night

 

[Seraph]

dave, yours look slick. When i did mine cos the stilo lights have so much "silver" on then, it just looked yellow.

i'd still be tempted by it, but I'd have to get someone who's not crap like me to do it.
