Headlight Film?
There are a few cars out there with tinted headlights. I have never looked close enough to see if it's a film, spray tint or otherwise. Bob & Craig Marshall's Stockers come to mind with the blue treatment. How is it being done?

Re: Headlight Film?
Good memory Dave,
What combo are you running ? Must be a FORD, no doubt .The last news I heard about you was "at CTC in charge of performance parts program." That was a number of years ago... The local Parts Source tried to recruit me...(Link Brown) but I am very happily employed @ NAPA. I too, have noticed the tinted headlights on a number of Stock/Super Stock cars, I believe Mr.Parker's 1969 Camaro stocker has green one's. Last edited by Tim H; 10-16-2008 at 09:36 PM. |

Re: Headlight Film?
To make tinted headlamps,use Dupli-Color Metalcast brand paint.It's transparent.House of Kolor paints can also be used.

Re: Headlight Film?
The popular process to tint headlights is using candy paint. This is nearly a given on Kenny Koonce paint jobs. I bet he would do yours if you send them to him. Kenny's Kustoms 919-250-8462.

Re: Headlight Film?
I used Testors transparent model paint. Just keep adding coats until you like the color....
