I'd prefer to buy new lenses rather than spray my stock lenses...any suggestions?

 

I couldn't find any cheap replacements for mine so I ended up spraying them. It's very easy to do and look great. Only costs $20 as well.

Here is what i did:

-disconnect lights
-remove bulbs
-remove housing
-scuff the lens with a 3m scuff pad
-spray 3 very light coats of Nite-shades paint (let dry after each coat)
-spray 3 coats of clear (let dry after each coat)
-reinstall

If you didn't have to let the paint dry this is a 10 minute mod. Super simple .

 

Where did you get the nite shades paint?

What type of clear coat did you use on top of the nite shade?

I assume this works for the tail lights as well?

 

I did my tail lights and it looks and works awsome, got the VHT nightshade paint off eBay

 

Would hope to find it locally. I would expect that UPS or whoever to charge a Haz Materials fee to deliver an aerosol can of paint?? Do the chain auto parts stores carry this stuff? Any brands to avoid?

 

This is the first mod i did to my jeep. real easy, i went to my local advanced auto parts, and if they dont have it in stock theyll order it for you and have it in a day or two

 

You can get the niteshades at autozone.

 

To get the paint to adhere better, you should scuff your lights first. Unless your lights have cracks in them......save your $$$$ and use the stock ones!

 

i got the nite-shades at O'reilly's auto parts and then i used a duplicolor acrylic clear.

The link below is exactly the same paint i used. Just add the 3m scruff pad and your set.
