Company that makes BlueBatmobile tint?
 
I tried tinting the 370Z taillights, but I have to admit these are probably the hardest lights you will ever have to tint. I messed up the right pre-cut tint because they are not exacity cut right. I now am thinking that if I buy a roll of tint, I will be able to bend the tint around the curves & I'll have extra if I mess up again. But I was wondering if anybody knew the tint company that BlueBat uses & how to buy it. I need a roll of 6/10 or 20% tint, plus any tips on how to tint these pain in the a$$ lights.

i agree that its a PITA because precut gives no extra material to pull on.... so i went to a local shop and used their material....

Isn't the vinyl tint (bluebat) different then the window tint you used?

nogoodname 11-10-2009 06:26 PM

bluebat stuff is vinyl but the stuff i ended up with is like four times thicker than bluebats overlays....
lol...... very durable but they only had one roll left and it was pitch black.... went all the way their with 2 other cars so i bought it

I went to the site DECALFX.com! Custom Vinyl Graphics, Decals, Stickers, Logos, Lettering, Carbon Fiber Vinyl, Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles and they sell sheets of tint, i'm going to order two 24x24 sheets of smoked taillight tint, I still have my left blue bat taillight tint. Is there a diy of how to tint these nightmare of a tail light?

nogoodname 11-10-2009 07:10 PM

no dyi i know of. do a full smoke and pull and stretch it on. my tail lights took 3 ppl to do it, 2 holding it and one pulling the overlay on it... theres no bubbles at all and they used a steam thingy.... wow... the material took all that beating...lol

Did you take off your taillight? I might take it to the place that tinted my windows, hopefully they can do it. Other wise I might try it with the taillight still on, I really wish I could just pay someone to do this, cus I ordered from blue bat and wasted $42 :(

nogoodname 11-10-2009 08:45 PM

yea, i took it off on my own at the shop... we tried on another car 1st and then on mine lol

in the end, taking it out and letting it sit loosely on the car is the best way.

NewYorkJon34 11-10-2009 09:29 PM

Do you mean just taking the 2 bolts off, then tinting it?

nogoodname 11-10-2009 09:36 PM

i mean, pull the whole lamp out and let it sit in there loosely, that way they can push against the car and have space to tuck it in the edges so that the material has full coverage and no ugly uneven edges.

Well I'm going to order the smoked roll from decalfx when they get back from sema on Nov. 15. It looks to be the same as Bluebat's, it'd order it from him but he takes forever to do any business.

have u thought of vht night shade? thats what i used... and itll be perfect cuz u can control where the tint goes cuz of tape lol.... just an idea...

nogoodname 11-11-2009 06:57 AM

bluebat is a teacher and the overlays is a side thing

What's night shade? Is that the spray on tint? If so, I heard it leaves a weird texture after it's done.

simota1 11-11-2009 07:34 AM

yah its the spray on tint.... but u have to shoot real car clear to make it work good... mine looks factory...
