VHT SP999 Nite-Shades Lens Cover Coating - Translucent Black Spray Paint - 10 oz Aerosol Can

Works very well. Did three coats over the clear part of my lenses. It looks good but was a different shade from the factory red. I pai td over that part with two coats a d it looks li,e it came that way. Highly recommend.

Excellent product, works so good.

Paint it gold first. Then spray it with the red clear-coat and you have a beautiful candy apple red. Spray again a couple more coats, you get an amazing candy brandy wine.

So I don’t usually write reviews for products on here but I felt the need for this one. It’s definitely an easy product to use but if you think your just going to buy it, spray it on and get good results your wrong. Prep seems to be key with this. I used a scotch brite pad to scuff up my tail lights before spraying it on because I saw a lot of people get bad results doing it without it. Definitely went on nice after scuffing and using wax remover to clean them up after. One complaint I have is like other people it definitely caused cracking of the lenses after I put a few coat on and it dried. Can you see it from far? Probably not but I’m not happy that it did it. Overall I love how it looks and it came out nice but doing it again I would have my lenses tinted or sprayed by a shop in the future. I’ll update my review with pictures so the end results can be seen

Dried almost instantly. And it looks so nice and dark. The light shines through thankfully so at night, other cars will still see you, don’t go overboard like I did or else people won’t see it during the day lol

Some vehicles you can't just buy a set of GTS light covers for. Or you spend 3x what a stock light housing is to buy a custom ones. The VHT lens tint is a cheaper way to get a custom look. There are a few ways of painting your light housings, but I would rather remove the light housings off the vehicle in sted of masking half the car to keep the over spray from getting on your paint. Plus you can get a better even coats of paint when having all the parts in front of you. I did the taillights on my 05 Mercury Grand Marquis, including the lenses on the trunk hood. I first cleaned the lenes with wax and greas remover. Masked off the areas I didn't want the spray tint to be painted on. Gave all the paintable areas a light wet sanding with 600 grit sand paper. Now the lenses have a dull look to them.Now youjust gave something for the spray tint to grab on too. Clean again with wax and greas remover and wipe dry with a clean rag. Look to make sure there is no dust or hair on the parts you are painting. I found 3 light coats of VHT lens tint is more then enough, but if you want darker add a few more. With the parts laid out in front of you and clean, spray light even coats on all parts. Make sure you put the same amount of spray tint on all parts or one part will look darker than the other. Your light housings will look like they have a gloss to them. This tint will dull out to a flat black. If you are looking for a flat look, like your car is a flat black this will work for you. I like the custom look so I bought the VHT SP515 Quick Coat Clear Acrylic Enamel. If you use this clear, when the tint is dry to the touch but not harden give them a light coat of the clear. I did 3 light coats of clear, spraying when the clear was tacky. Let dry over night and put the lenses back on the vehicle. Remember the more coatsof tint, the darker or harder it will be for others to see. Also, check with your town or state. Might have laws against lens tints.

If you're aiming to give your vehicle a bold, custom appearance, the VHT SP999 Nite-Shades Lens Cover Tint is a must-have! 🖤 This translucent black spray is designed specifically for tail lights, fog lights, and turn indicators. When applied, it gives your lenses a sleek blacked-out look that remains illuminated when the lights are on, maintaining visibility and safety. 🚗💡 The application process is straightforward: clean the surface, apply light coats, and let it dry. It's recommended to use 2-3 coats for optimal results. Just remember, once applied, it can't be easily removed, so ensure you're satisfied with the look before committing. ⚠️ For those seeking a unique, European-style aesthetic, this product delivers. It's perfect for DIY enthusiasts looking to personalize their ride without breaking the bank. 💰

Vht always a good product not legal in AUSTRALIA road use

Covers well and produces a very nice translucent effect.

Easy to use - looks top notch! Durable and instantly changes the look of your lights. Highly recommended!

Does the job well. Nice shade of 'true' red, but color does fade in direct sunlight. Recommend clearcoat to preserve gloss.

I bought this to spray some incandescent globe lightbulbs thinking they’d stand the heat. They do not.
