LupoGTiNAB Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 I want to buy or be able to achieve this look but haven't seen this on a Lupo hence the reason I had to find this picture on google. Is there a way I can do this myself or a place that they would be sold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EaRNi! Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 just tinted lights them mate, lots of people just use tinting spray but they look crap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treblet Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 several coats of tinting spray followed by lots of polishing will get you that lookremember to use lots of thin coats rather than 1 thick coat or it'll look crap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lupoluke Posted December 18, 2008 Report Share Posted December 18, 2008 IIRC body shops do this by mixing black paint and lacquer in a 50:50 mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
