I just bought Night Shades - transparent black lens paint, and had some questions about how to do this correctly.
1) I want to paint the inside of the lights, but do I have to bake them with this type of paint?
2) Is there a specific technique I should use to ensure that the lenses are sealed back up so moisture doesn't get inside of the lense? Also, will the front plastic cover come off easily when I unbolt the lenses?
3) Would it be easier/cleaner for me to just paint the exterior of the lenses, while masking off the turn signals?

*I am unsure of how durable this particular paint is exposed to weather and abuse.

Thanks for the help, it means a lot.

 

i have used the night shades smoke on two sema cars i guess its cool if you use it on the inside of the headlights but i would not ever useit on the outside of a light again

 

what happened to the outside of the lense?

 

after about two weeks they chipped and peeled off

 

Well on my WRX i put it on. On the outside. It was going good for 6 months until i sold it. Now i see my old car and they still look good.

I had it on the outside of my Sentra for years; with no problems. Shined and looked perfect.

Backing is to get the lights to seperate, so you can get inside them. There is no need to bake if you just apply to the outside. Some suggestions would be to make sure it's extremely clean before applying and follow the directions on the car for spray distance etc. The stuff I got worked great.

Good luck!
