Sliding down the slippery slope has commenced

Much better! I don't think I've seen anyone that had modified the old red ones either. Mine were so old and faded before I replaced them to consider doing this anyway. Looks great!

before the painter painted mine i was going to get a set of oem lights like that from a newer model. Never thought of doing it that way. .

Looks good. I think white would have looked good too.

 

[LazyAssLou]

Yea I wonder how white would of looked.

like those slotted taillight covers for OBS

or similar to this...

Not my cup of tea.

PLus I had black trim paint in a spray can already so the mod was free, and didn't have colormatched white paint.

Instead of running the razor blade around the edge before peeling the tape off, you can just peel the tape off before the paint dries. (bodyshop trick).

Anytime we would paint/clear a car, you give the car a little flash time and then start (carefully) peeling the tape back so that you avoid a "hard-line".

that works great on regular paint... just not on trim paint. Trim paint is more rubbery and far thicker. I've tried to treat it like normal paint before and it just doesn't work that way.
thus the suggestion to score it with the razor blade before trying to peel it.

Dude, that looks really good. And like others have said, this is the first time I've seen it done. Good job.

 

[vatahoelt]

turned out good.
