quick4dr Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 all i did was watch a lot of videos when i started and asked lots of questions on clubgp.com for my old car. go to a junk yard get a scrap light and practice. ive only begun to learn tape work and masking. my next project is the side mirror lights and trying to design a scheme to eyebrow and tint the corner of my headlights.

lofthouse_gt Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Definetly looks good. I've done quite a few cars with this stuff. Did you wet sand the clear coat? I don't usually clear over the VHT unless it's on the front of the car. I can spray VHT and make it look like glass (you've got to almost over spray it and it will bond and look just as smooth as lamin-x tint), but when I apply clear it comes up kinda foggy like pics #13,14,15,16. Just wondering if you notice the foggyness at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
