Painted my tail light

[MarkSpark]

Update: Tail light on car...

First I want to thanks Derrick on the board for being the first to do this. I only did one tail so far, but here's a look.

Before:

After: [There is still some chrome showing in a few crevices, so I'm going to have to work on that some more. This was my first project painting something like this.]

Badass man...did you do these exactly like the headlights??

Yhat is very nice, but can't you buy them like that?

Yeah, pretty much. I baked them for 10 minutes on 275 degrees. Used 400 grit sandpaper, primered, painted and cleared. I just have to learn how to tape off better. Thanks for the compliment.

Yeah there's a new version like this, but it's chrome around the lights, so I'm not a fan. But, I had these already and hated them, so I wanted to like them again. heh

echem......me and my brass BALLS tried it a little while back. I just forgot to post pics of the warped plastic

As you know Mark, minus the red reflector I think it's off the hook. Awesome job bro!!! Please do post pics with final install.

Thanks, and I know some people have bad taste. No Problem.

Isn't it funny how people with round tail lights (P5) want the striped tail lights (JDM) and people with the stripped lights (protege, mp3, msp) change theres to altezza and round tail lights.

Isn't all of the reflective stuff there for a reason?

What reason? DOT regulations? Do you see chrome on your stock tails? Chrome is Mother F'n gay.

Some people like to change their stock setup. In Japan, a lot of Familia owners buy the US-spec tails.
