true, but that would be tricky, unlike the tails theres no out line of the refractors on the headlight, but if you do, do it, let me know how, it'd save me a couple hundred bucks

Krylon flat black. I used the basic Krylon spray paint, the kind that you actually have to prep the surface, not the bonding paint.

Hope those tails will pass inspection now....the way you painted them you cant see them from the side....should have left the "V" in them like this....(unless you dont have inspections, then ignore me). They look good though....

Just making a honest statement. It was clearly posted for opinion and response by all viewers. I said nothing rude, just how it is viewed to me. If your definition of "civility" is one by responding to me as "homeboy", you should take your own advice...

Thanks for welcoming me to the forum.

Respectfully,

Now that looks clean to me. I like it.

Why does this tail light have almost a glossy factory gloss to it? Was it painted from the inside?

Nope, painted from the outside. Used night shade and clear coated it.

thats exactly what I did but made the horrid mistake of not covering the reverse lights, they suck but it does look nice, but a light bar will be bought to cover that problem, i took the plastic top off my rear bumper so theres that nice space.

Respectfully,
Sorry about all that, not sure what I was thinking. I way overreacted.
