Originally posted by dgspikesi was planning on doing this to my car also. quick question for who's done it so far, can you notice a difference when you hit the brakes, like when they are lit up, if so you think its a bad idea to maybe do 1 coat on the whole thing, and 2 coats on the amber part? dan
you mean people will confuse the blinker for the brake light?My mountains are better than yours.

The turn signals light up only when the turn signals are on. And, since they blink, I really don't think they'd be confused. Also, many cars have red turn signals anyway - or, at least only one light, meaning when the signal on, there's only actually one brake light (and maybe one more if there's a third brake light), I hate tail lights like that. :?- Sean Hayes

Edit: this is with Testors Ruby Red Flake by the way
If you want everything to be perfectly matched then you might want to follow this tech article....it's a bit different: http://www.e30evolution.net/Articles/tails.htm
Hope that helps.

EDIT: Oh, for those who have done this already on their E30, how does it hold up to rain and car washes? How long should I expect the paint to last on the taillights before I must redo it?'91 E30 M42 DIAMANTSCHWARZ
