Yep, also applicable to headlights. At this filipino garage called Santana... they're quiet alright. Just get the spray from AP then take it there.
WHERE IS SANTANA GARAGE EXACTLY ?

SD -
Let me try and explain:

They're located in sharjah, in the road between city centre and old splash/ star hindi cinema. You have to take that road, and take the first right after the second small signal. the shop will be on the right, just keep going straight.
Their contact number is: 06 5337173

Makhfi (tint) shops wouldnt know what to do with the spray-cans... heck they might mistake it for a drink and down it.

Its applicatable from the inside or the outside?

do they have to remove the lights and apply? or would they do it right there?

and last question, I didnt really understand where Autoplus is... can u please tell me its close to wat exactly.

It's usually applied from the outside. They can do it, (or DIY), by taping of the area around your lights, and spray away!

I don't recommend doing it yourself because the paint guy needs to apply a clear coat on the lights, after using the can. this will give the lights a nice glossy black look (like a black iPod). If you don't apply the clear coat, it won't look as good as it should.

They apply it on the spot, it takes around an hour. They don't remove the lights, they just cover the area outside the tail lights with newspaper and crap. it's applied on the outside as mikeh mentioned.

Autoplus: They're located near printex printing press, also near hamarain centre. call them up and they will guide you. it's a little confusing. for the number, just check somewhere in this thread, i don't remember what it is.

Also, you might need two cans depending on how black you want it and how big your lights are. ( i used a can and a half, and they're darker black.)

Also, i recommend you wait and register your car before doing this mod, just to be safe. I haven't tried registering my car yet since i blacked them out.

Good luck! (Y)
