BEEMDUB Posted May 8, 2013 Report Share Posted May 8, 2013 fuck vinyl and fuck nightshade, I've had experience with both and having tails painted the right way with black base coat mixed with clearcoat and sprayed with a paint gun, it looks MUCH better.

One last comment, if you wet sand it make sure you remove the lights because when you start sanding it turns the extra tint into a liquid and it will run down and ruin your clear coat. 2007 M/T Honda Civic Coupe EX (4) Sundown Audio X-8's (2) Ampere Audio 3800.1's (3) Stinger SPV-44 Batteries (1) Mechman 240 3:1 Ratio 4th order sealed from the trunkTEAM NWSPLBest termlab scores to date in Honda trunk:151.7db legal (official) IASCA trunk 3 classBest termlab scores to date in my walled Subie:152.9db legal (unofficial) IASCA advanced 2 class155db outlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
