well the weather is cooperating enough for me to do my lights with metro decals smoked vinyl as of right now one light is completed and it would def be easier with another person. now the only thing im worried about is the soapy water im supposed to spray the lights with and the vinyl will it dry under there and not be visible cause of right now its vivible when my lights are on? and that will lok like crap in the end im not looking at it from behind cause im the driver but it makes it look bad to others....ort speak up on this i been checking on here to see where you are so i could get ur opinions.....thanx

 

hey ort u can im me at jusjay727 on yahoo if it makes it easier...

 

dont use alot of soap... you dont want it bubbling under tint. its just to allow you to scretch the vinyl without scratching it and pressing it out....

 

I put a lil soap in a old zep degreaser bottle and then filled the bottle i din think it was to much its not bubbling under there just when i turned on the lights i could see residue and yes the bottle was rinsed propely

 

Hey man, sorry it took me so long to see this but I just got home a little bit ago. When doing the tint, I found that with the first light I used too much of the soapy water solution and it left little bubbles under the tint. So to get rid of them I just used the heat gun on the spots and it dried up the bubbles. Then I just pressed down where the bubble was and the tint stuck.

When I got to the second light I wised up and used only a minimal amount of the soapy solution, just enough to allow me to move the tint around to get it into position. I found that worked much better bc it didn't leave any bubbles under the tint that I had to go back and heat out.

 

thats exactly what i figured out i diluted my mix alot i mean alot so there was barely any soap in it and it stuck better too. the first one moved alot but i got it. all three of em are done as i speak only one lil hiccup on my 3rd like thats barley noticable was heating to remove bubble and smudged the vinyl i have enough to do it again but im waiting to see if i wanna use the left over somewhere else or just fix it ......now im going out to take pics for all you guys and ORT thanx for all the help you give me I really appreciate it

 

the only thing like i said that is driving me nuts is the residue behind the film on my drivers side when the lights are on i think i may have used a lil too much soap and now i kick myself but ill get over it....

 

well here are some pics from my photo bucket account cant remember how to post them in reply box so here goes....
