Painted my reverse lights..opinions please

[brent_G]

I think it looks decent. Better than tinted. I cant stand how cheap tinted/blacked out look is

 

[mikeyfitz]

Negative. Black em or nothing.

I thought they looked good at first, but they didn't match perfect.

You can go with these too
2010 - 2012 Mustang Raxiom Smoked Aero Tail Lights

I disagree.

Brown, you coming to any shows this weekend? I'd like to see these in person.

 

[brent_G]

Looks cheap and crappy.
reminds me of something like this everytime i see it.

Overall opinion is to just leave them like they are supposed to be. I know we get bored with our cars. but adding paint to everything just isnt it lol

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

I like it!! LOL

I think it looks good and the spoiler delete compliments it.

Shit, not even close.
I bet Browns look good in person, the factory lights are fugly on these years.

Looks cheap when someone does it without clearcoat

David I probably won't come to any of those shows due to work, but I am going to re-do these and see if I can get a better match! I agree about the factory lights being hideous.

Darren, spoiler delete is temporary. My gt500 spoiler should be here today

 

[Jeremy@AirLift]

I say Yes!

Cool, I think the only thing throwing yours off now is where they look dark in the reverse area, the all red looks badass to me though, especially when your new wheels and spoiler go on.
PS. The second carshow in Lewisville doesn't start till 6pm, just in case you get off early. Plus they have FREE BEER!

 

[whtcanbrwnd04u]

Yea I know David, ill try and get it to match better. And I'll look into that show

Black especially depends on the finishing done after painting. Wet sanding or in my case m105 and m205 works great

Holy shit that looks good, how did you manage that? I wanna do mine a little darker but I want them super glossy like that.

 

[W3bb3r04]

I also did not use clearcoat

I just prepped the surface with duplicolor prep spray, then spray however many coats you want on there, then I used meguiars m105 and m205 compounds by hand to polish them out. Then put 2-3 coats of Wax on for protection.

The thing is 90%of the cars i see on the road look like the first crappy pic that galloping ford put up. Which is why i cant stand it. My neighbor has it and every time i see it i wanna get a baseball bat out and break them so he has to buy new ones so i don't have to look at it.
