Well I finally did it! and it turned out great!



I used VHT's NITE-SHADES (From O'Reilys)

Just removed tail lights
cleaned with windex
sprayed two coats on the tail lights
and three coats on the reverse lights edges but only two coats on the face of the reverse lights

 

Noice.

 

Don't forget the 3rd brake and side markers

 

Looks sweet, but do the 3rd and side too!!

 

Haven't seen this before lol

 

ill get the third brake and side markers later i ran out of day light.... how do you get the the side markers

 

never mind went and looked at them duh lol theres a screw driver for that

 

 

Looks good!

 

Shoulda sanded before u painted them,

And shoulda clear coated then polished.

Just sayin

 

Well I wanted to but I didn't have any clear or 800 grit or the time and had seen how my buddy's subi turned out so I knew I'd be satisfied with this alone. Still may clear oat and polish it up later though

 

just did the 3rd brake and side markers waiting on them to dry

 

Looks nice. And post pics when lights are done.

Personally, I would leave them red on a red car, and I'm blacking out mine on my black car here soon just to match.

Do you have LEDs in there?

 

i wish it were leds but sadly no and i normally wouldnt black em out on a red car but the wheels are soon to be powder coated gun metal gray so its all gonna go together imo

 

In the meantime, Plasti Dip the wheels! $5.98 a can at your local Home Depot. for under $24 bucks you can have yourself the blackout look.

 

gotta say i have thought about plasti dip but im aiming for the dark gray color idk though cuz id say if i did it and clear coated with a matte finish and then hit it with rubbing compound and a little wax it would be like a gray color. then again how would wax be on a matte finish?
