Check out my awesome taillights, I did these over the weekend. I'm so proud of them, They turned out really good...I used krylon plastic black paint, and krylon clear coat.





Hope you enjoy!!

 

Sweeeeet

I wish mine were like that.

 

can you see through the sides at all? or are they completley blacked?

 

they are completely black

 

^same question

 

did you think about the safety implications of that?

 

Completely blacked MAAAAAAAAY not be legal. They look great and I hope the po po doesn't act like a dick cause of it.

 

No, no one ever does, oh well, i dont care!!

 

they look good. but nightshades woulda been better thats all.

people not seeing your indicators or tail lights unless directly behind you could be nasty...

 

I tried it with nightshade once before and it didnt turn out?? I hope it will be ok, now you got me scared...

 

I used nightshades, I haven't had a chance to clear them so..... the two inner ones keep peeling off lol.

 

A more expensive way of tiniting taillights is to get some PPG clear and mix black into it to get the desired darkness..Or you can just keep adding layers.

 

Why would anyone be interested in a MORE expensive way of doing this?

 

Quality?

 

nightshades FTW

 

Nightshades FTMFW !!!!!!

 

Make sure you keep an eye on that krylon paint bro... i tried something similar a few months ago which ended in disaster... the krylon paint his notorious for dimpling tail light plastic... which i found out the hard way... (and a traffic stop w/ a warning)

Pics:



you can barely see it due to the light, but the center got dimpled inward in a horrible traingular shape about 2 inches long and an inch and ahalf wide.

 

Maybe you should wire up your sidemarker lights in the back to your turn signals. (Unless you completely blacked those out, too...)

That could help some, and it wouldn't be all that hard.
