BJD3 Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 (edited) getting my truck painted in december....wanting to find a cheaper way to black out the tail lights....how does it look with the gloss paint just laid over the lights like the rest of the truck? I have a funny feeling it would look like utter crap. JMO. Unless you did the prep work on them, in which case you would probably end up spending about the same amount unless you would black them out yourself. I had a forum-mate on another forum do this. I'll see if I can't find the link for you. EDIT: Here you go Edited July 20, 2009 by BJD3 Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.

So you're looking for show car levels of black? Not street car levels? Quote Anti Peel and Seal...lol You may be offended by the above.
