Did you really just spray paint them with black paint? nice. not too bad. But how does it look when you have the brake lights on thats the questions. Can you see the light and does it show all the flaws?
If ya can get a pic with the brakes on that would be cool. Loks goos though and saves money, well done!

91cobra5.0 · August 17th, 2008, 02:59 PM

Your car is super clean, if you took those stickers off it would be perfect.

i used vht night shade on my other car, came out perfect and you can make this as light or dark as you want... those look good, what kinda of bumper you getting?

Chris951 · August 17th, 2008, 11:26 PM

What are the steps and things I would need to do this?

fordrarities · August 17th, 2008, 11:30 PM

get a can of vht nightshade.
wet sand the lenses down with some real find sand paper
spray on as many coats, i wouldnt do more then 2-3 with vht
than spray 2 coats of clear
and you can buff and wax to get it to shine better

he may have done it differently

Chris951 · August 17th, 2008, 11:33 PM

cool thanks. when I get my replacement tail light I'm gonna do this

My First Ride · August 18th, 2008, 06:31 AM

I like it. I actually prefer it to the blackout you have on the headlights, not really feeling that too much. It does fit in with your "sinister" thing though. So do your thing boy.

yea i did it a little different, i used plastix to clean the headlight off, then sprayed armor all window cleaner (amonia free) to get any dust off then started adding coats of black then clear, didnt need to buff it out any.
