Painted rear light....
 

I was waiting for my doors to dry out back. And been wanting to do this for the longest time!!

So I grabed my old tail lenses and used some touch up paint I had lying around. I tried looking for spray paint with the same colour, but no go. So I had to go the brush route :(. I also removed the bulb to keep it from lighting up. Good thing too! The bulb was loosing it's red tint. Looks ok, and will hold me till I can either get ahold of spray paint in a matching GM colour or get the car painted. Now I'm off to go get the car washed and detailed...


What do you guys think?

BTW. I sanded, primed it, and used the touch up paint. Then Cleared it. Did the same to the screws ;).

Rob

thats neat I guess?

It doesnt look to match.. Good idea though. Have you ever thought about just having that shaved?

I just have to ask why?

not bad

something different i guess...i would have taken the clears though...and would have shipped you mine if i knew you were doing that...lol...i want clear rears

x2. :(

Why not ;)? Those damn lights are useless and take away from the looks of the car. They had to go. Plus I was waiting for my door panels to dry and needed something to do ;). BTW they are finished and will be on the car later today. I will post pics later...

Yeah I know. Actually in person it looks a lot better than those pics.

Would love to!!!! But unless you want to send me cash.... not going to happen any time soon. Like I said, it will have to hold me over till I get the cash to paint the whole car. I will keep my eyes peeled to find my colour in a spray can option instead of using that god awefull touch up paint :(.

Heres another pic of the car zoomed out (and clean BTW). Looks a little better.

to tell you the truth it looks like it had a bad repaint...not the car just that part it looks like they didn't mask it off

? he painted his rear marker light.

ok let me rewrod that....it looks like he got a new paint job (i know he didn't)that looks good but that they forgot to mask off the marker lights or take them off....is that better?

ya... that was the point of this thread. He painted his marker lights.

i dont see the point of clear side markers. they already match your tail lights. when theyre clear they look off. if you have clear tails thats okay.
