Tail light tinting

merlin99 · 02-27-2021, 04:00 PM

Hi has anyone had their 3D haillights tinted , had it done for 2 days and already peeling.

Anyone attempt painting the insides,

Take it back to the shop (if you got it done recently). They should replace it for you free of cost. If they don't and make a fuss, go online and leave negative reviews. A good shop will redo it without any issues.

The shop should be able to reheat and stretch to cover up and fix for absolutely no charge. If it keeps peeling that probably means they used cheap material.
I found these to be the best. They fit and stick perfectly. Not sure if they are available across the pond though: https://www.luxeautoconcepts.net/col...ns/gloss-smoke

I highly recommend not painting the insides (or outsides). Love the diffuser btw!

Yeah I've contacted the shop and I imagine they will fix it ,las it's only been on 1 day . Just worry about what it will look like day 300.

I mean i bought the most expensive wrap they have (£100 for the pair of lights) maybe it was just user error.

Want to avoid painting as it's just a more permanent solution.

Yeah the car really needed an aggressive diffuser , thanks
