(How to) wrap taillights with film 

I’m grateful for your compliments and being an inspiration, no matter what the job is confidence is all you need. Thanks for checking out the videos and the support.

How’s it going? Yeah the liquid tints will only give you about 6-8 months, the film tints are definitely the way to go. I have a more descriptive video uploaded on installing tints if you’re interested.

Much appreciated

Thanks and I never imagined the tint cans being sprayed in the 80’s, I’m sure they were much more strict about tints back then.

@@newtouchauto I also blacked out the grill & headlight trim on my brand new 1981 GMC High Sierra Pickup with Flat Black paint..I think we were ahead of our time back then👍

@@stevedeleon8775 most definitely, this new technology had to come from somewhere first.

Thanks I appreciate that

Thanks and I appreciate the support and watching the video.

You’re welcome and yes, you can use a blow dryer in place of a heat gun.

Yes but I suggest a light smoke tint and not dark, you’ll need the headlights to shine through as much as possible.

Thanks I appreciate that but actually it’s a lot easier. Once you learn the techniques of handling the film this could easily be a 5-10 minute project. With spraying you have to follow the full process which could be 30 min - 1hr when you include prep work but of course to each their own.

I may have to give it a try on my '06 highlander

@@alanstimson8359 hey why not, thanks for checking out the video.

Because it’s removable paint, why do all the extra work when it’s designed to be peeled away over time. Great question by the way, I guess I’ve been doing it for a while and some things aren’t worth the time when it’s not a permanent finish.

Once you learn the techniques of handling the film this could easily be a 5-10 minute project. When it comes to pricing every shop will have their own cost and options.

@@newtouchauto u mean minus letting the wheels dry and maybe some Masking, you're quick I can tell. I got reg wheel paint and a pearlescent over coat I hope I can pull off I've been practicing Old headlights, bottles

@@freedompioneer4311 are you referring to light tints or something else? I’m confused about your question

@@newtouchauto yeah a lighter tint for windows and tail lights I wish I could send you pics on here

@@freedompioneer4311 oh okay, now I can’t speak for window tinting bc that’s a different process with a different film

Great questions Actually it’s easier to wrap tail lights on the car because it keeps the light steady. I was a rookie at the time of this video but after becoming a professional I no longer need to mask around the lights. It’s a common practice to display masking around lights because it’s the safest way to prevent cutting on the vehicle. Also the goal isn’t to wrap around the lights, no need to treat Film the way you would car wrap. Cutting at the edges is the goal for a successful finish.

You tell me
