Just a quick warning, I managed to melt my indicators today when I tinted them. I used E-Tech spray, and that was completely fine, built up 3 coats and they were looking smashing. I let them dry for about an hour under a warm lamp.
Then I decided to put a coat of Holts clearcoat laquer on them and that's when problems started to occur, noticed some bubbles appearing at the side and on top, and within a few minutes they had started to melt on the top and the sides went all droopy.
Totally ballsed them up... have ordered a new set from eBay and willdo them again when they arrive but just thought I'd warn people not to use these two products together on your indicators. The Laquer must have reacted with the plastic or the E-tech, or both!?
So now I have no indicators on my car, with terrible weather forecast soon. Put some Zip-loc bags over them to keep the bulbs protected and hopefully that'll be okay. Anyway, rant over!
