Help a brotha out

[James]

Hey Guys - Im wanting to do some DIY mod action this weekend but I cant find the guide I remember seeing on the internet.

my question: Anyone know the name of that 'tint' paint? Nightshade or something like that? I cant even find it on google or anyone know a product that will give me the same look?

Re: Help a brotha out

I believe you were correct when you said Nightshades.

Re: Help a brotha out

Re: Help a brotha out

Nah hah, Ima order some new ones from Simon pretty quickly here, I just was waiting to hear back about those Emphase side skirts cause they are an effin' good deal.

Maybe try the 3m site, I think they made something like that (If i'm even thinking the right stuff) may give you something to start with.

I got my can of Nightshades from Bumper to Bumper back in the day, and put a classy coat of tint on my oldsmobile tail lights

Re: Help a brotha out

Mopac has it. Just dont go to thin of coats or it will orange peel. but if you go to thick then it will run

Re: Help a brotha out

Ya, I called them and nightshades is on huge backorder but the guy reccomended testors hobby paint : part# :2849

so now Ive called napa, princess, partsource, mopar, and on my 3rd hobby shop...no dice yet hah

edit: Do you think if I called Splash or Rudy's or whatever body shop they could mix me up a spray can for clear + black? Would that be a viable solution?

Call Dean's Body Shop Supply (look for number in the book)
If they don't have it in stock they will mix clear with black base and put it in the can.

Personally I like mixing my own clear with color base, good clear will give you nice high gloss shine for years (6 years on my BMW) where Nightshades tend to fade to almost dull finish pretty quick.

Re: Help a brotha out

Just use the Testor's and then use a good quality clear coat. I did this on my side signals, and they match the tinted grey strip on my tail lights perfectly. Go in thin coats, and keep layering it on until you hit the exact tint you want, as each coat will get darker and darker. Clearcoat it when you're done, and re-install.

PM me if you want any more details.

I saw a can of Niteshades somewhere...just trying to remember where...I think it might have been the Canadian Tire down here in Shawnessy, I'll let you know if I remember for sure where I saw it, was just a couple days ago but my mind is blank right now

Nismo - if you get this this afternoon, can you shoot me a quick PM? Ive got a p-chop request of what I plan to do and wanna see what it looks like...the MS paint here at work isnt cutting it haha


p.s - I bought the paint from Calgary Body Shop Supplies LTD (Formerly Dean's)...I tested it on a cd case and its really really see-thru which is perfect cause they I can choose how dark it gets by the # of coats
