Keith Posted February 21, 2005 Posted February 21, 2005 Anyone have pictures of their bike after tinting the front turn signals? I'd like to take a look, but haven't had any luck with message searches. I'm repairing the damage after my drop, so now is a good time to do it if I'm going to. Thanks! Quote
Keith Posted February 21, 2005 Author Posted February 21, 2005 Oh, one more request: does anyone have a picture of the bike after tinting with the running lights on? It would be nice to see how much of the light is attenuated by the tint. Thanks again. Quote
rickrad Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 BTW...you really have to be carful with how much tint you use. It doesn't take near as much as you think it does. Quote
Keith Posted February 22, 2005 Author Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks for the picture. It appears the lights show through just fine. BTW...you really have to be carful with how much tint you use. It doesn't take near as much as you think it does. How can you tell when you have enough? The tint I purchased says to put on three or four light coats, but there's nothing about how to tell when it's enough. With the lens out of the housing, does it look the same as it will when it is reinstalled? If so, that should be enough information about when to stop spraying. Thanks again. Quote
rickrad Posted February 22, 2005 Posted February 22, 2005 With the lens out of the housing, does it look the sameas it will when it is reinstalled? NO!!! It doesn't look like you have near enough on until you fully install it and , damn it's dark :shock: . Quote
TechnoGecko Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I realaly didnt think I liked the tinted turn signals until I saw those two pictures. Very sleek looking. Quote
dodge7d Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 I just noticed that Clear Alternitives is now making a smoked version of the clear front signals for the XX. I can sell either one (clear or smoked) for $65.00 shipped anywhere in the lower 48 states. KRP Quote

dodge7d Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 How about doing it with a black Sharpie? 87 cents ? Quote
superblkbrdxx Posted February 23, 2005 Posted February 23, 2005 you can get the spray tint at a hobby shop or use translucent blk paint, or any color? Quote
