That looks great. I need to do mine to hold me over until I get smoked ones.

which paint did you use?

[Avus E30]

Testor's Candy apple red

[PeaveyBassist]

That looks really good. Looks like an exact match. Did you paint the whole tail? Or just the turn signal portion?

Will

I sanded the whole tail with 600 grit paper and then cleaned and rinsed. Taped off the reverse ane thn did two coats Candy Apple red then did two clear coats after i removed tape over reverse lights. I thought it turned out well

good luck lets see some pictures when you are finished

It looks good now, but I could never paint my whole tail light. That paint isn't meant to last in the elements and instead of just having your turn signal look dull, now the whole tail light will eventually.

It's the kind of thing that can be easily re-done though TJ, so it's not a big deal.

Besides, I plan to get MHW smoked tails at one point, so the all-reds should suit me just fine for a while.
