DIY - All Red Taillights

[Aptyp]

Any one spray the whole thing? Even the white part? Any different color options?

Anyone mask off only the white part and spray the whole thing, and then clear coat the whole thing for that new tail light look?

[Van Westervelt]

[Danny]

^Yes they are.

Curt does a damn good job.

These are the set I did with metalcast + clear, ended up giving them to a friend and I'll be doing my own set this weekend.

Is there an inbetween all-red and using Nightshade. I'd want just a hint of smoke.., maybe mixing in a bit of black into the clearcoat?

[CorvallisBMW]

If you red your turns, then put down a thin coat of Nightshade, you should be good.

[deutschman]

did mine read and clear. look great!

^ now those looks fucking tits

[Van Westervelt]

Wont look "tits" for long if you dont have an automotive grade clearcoat over it. Does look good though, I neve liked not adding at least one coat over the backup light. Almost looks out of place now.

They were cleared by a local body shop with automotive clear. They will look like that for a long time hopefully.

I was going for the MHW look and they left the reverse light clear... i think it makes them really pop.
