Got the painted tails last night, I can finally see how they look this morning during the day. Very happy with how they look, could have probably gone darker but oh well.


How do you guys like?

Wow Phil -- those look great! I think the shade's perfect.
Where'd you take them to get painted?

They look ok ... but the dirty paint is unacceptable ... you should be banished

Yeah, I hand wash the car all the time, it was washed 3 days ago. I took the car out of the garage to go to work and the road was wet so it washed up all the dirt on the car.

I actually had the tint on the way, everyone I talked to said paint was the way to go. The tint I bought was $35 shipped and he charged me $40 for paint. I'm gonna sell the tint on the forum. I wanted the clear to be masked off too, the tint was for the full taillight.
