as far as i know, you need to have a lot of time/money/patience personally, ive given up on looking up fwd to rwd conversions, though you love the car bla bla bla history, etc etc, still not worth it, jst get an rwd car. *imo of course :)*

ive sanded it ages ago, then you found this :D ! soo i jst tried it... ive got a heavy finger :( ! ill try and go lightly with it the next days,.. thx guys,

oops, you have told me about my images, from before, ill fix that now, edit: keep forgetting to use that resize option....

Need some help guys, or to whoever has done the badges before, :help: am i doing it wrong or something ? because its not turning out the way i wanted to, here are the photos: Started off with a brand new chrome badge all cleaned and off the grille First coating done, dried it for about 1 hr, (can said 30 mins but i did an hour cos i was playing games ) also i did this on a flat surface (horizontal) Did two coats for this one, didnt really take another shot because it looks exactly like the 1st one all shiny, waited another hour to dry and it ended up looking like this .... Okayyy.. so then it obviously doesnt look proper at all, so i took my old one that has been sanded down with the chrome bits off with 400 paper, and also sprayed this vertically, (thought it wouldve made a difference) that was also the 1st coat and dried for also an hour. Here is the comparison between the two, left one was the 1st one sprayed horizontally (not that it makes a difference i think) 2 coats. right one was vertically, but only sprayed with one. and it almost has the simillar effects even though its been sanded down. Now the can said do 3-4 coats, i stopped at 2 coats to avoid what maybe a waste. Here is the result of the 2nd badge (sanded one done vertically) after the second coat. I stopped again as soon as those little grooves and cracks showed up. Questions come to my mind. -am i drying it for too long ? -should i be spraying only 1 coat ? -is there some sort of primer im supposed to use? *and many more but only these are what i could think of as i type this* ive been looking at the pics at the plastidip thread and mine doesnt look like anything compared to those ones :( Any help/opinions/suggestions would be great. :D Thanks all ! -jeffy :]

FUu~! That vid looks soo tuff !! edit: hehehe i was fast forwarding it forward and backward, looked funny :P

and dude btw, you're posting this in the wrong section, this is the new members thread, an intro to yourself

yes the tint is more shinier because it is a layer of film, exactly like the window tint. I did it myself, bought it on ebay for about $10, fairly easy to do with a hairdryer and a solid card ;) Yes, it is affecting the light, but i got HIDs so i can see almost the same as if i had the standard bulbs in them, but as soon as i take it off,.. its like .. and Yes it is illegal

This is Tinted: and as for smoked... its kinda painted... i dont have smoked tail lights, but i have smoked headlights, uhmm... this is as far as my opinion goes for the difference,

smoked or tinted ?

factory warranty being that it wasnt caused by a human, eg, you mustve jammed something big in there to fit, and caused to crack.
