It FINALLY came. Did my tail lights, 3rd brake light, and cab lights. Phone pics

tail and 3rd brake lights before


Cab lights before






After

 

Nice. I love the black cab lights. But I am a little bias

 

How many coats did you use and how is the light output through them compared to before you coated them?

They came out looking really good.

 

Those look sweet. I like the cab lights that you did. I've been thinking about getting some of those. Did you just get some fine sandpaper to rub over them after cleaning to get off all of the dirt?

 

Thanks man. I put 4 coats on them, and all of the coats were kinda heavy. I had a little running but I fixedd it. The 3rd brake light is as visible as before, but the tails suffered a little. maybe about 20 to 30 percent of light was lost, but thats during the day. At night you can barely notice light is missing.

O and I did sand them before I started, to those who want to do it also.

 

Thanks alot. I washed them off first just with water, then a cleaning solution, then sanded them down with 1500 grip.

I was a little scared about the cabb lights because I could not take them out without cutting the wiring so I just taped them up as much as I could. Turned out pretty good. Now they have a chrome base and smoked lenses. I dont think gorecon(where i got em from) has that style. They are a little dull now though, light wise.

 

this is how it looks with just the lights on. its blurry and about halfway dark outside so its actually brighter...not too bad.

 

Looks good. Did you have to end up wet sanding, or did you not have much orange peele? When I did my tailights I had terrible orange peele got rid of it though.

 

looks nice i think you convinced me of doing mine since someone stole my smoked taillight covers
