Tailight Paint

[SpeakersGoBoom]

Ok, I've seen it on 12secondV6s car, and i saw it on someones picture on the board for a camaro. I forgot the name of it. Whats it called again? like fade to black, or midnight, or something like that.
also, if i wanted to do something like what I saw on he camaro, where the reverse light was not painted, but the rest was, would that look bad on a trans am? like, would it leae a noticable line on the back light panel where i stopped painting?
Final question...do they only make it in black, or could i get it in like, blue? No, im not painting the taillights blue. I have an idea (not ready to disclose it yet) and If possible, id like to see if i couldnt desguise it (even slightly) :twisted:
Also, if anyone could tell me where i could get clear side markers from, as well as bulbs that would fit those markers where the bulb was clored yellow and red, that'd be much apprecialte. and yes, i know my keybard is a piece of ****. im getting tired of going back and correcting every third word, s im giving up and goig with it.

i think the taillight paint is called nightshades, and as far as i know only comes in black/smoke. rear side markers i dont know where to get in clear if they even make them, front side markers are available on ebay easliy. and the bulbs for the front a rear side markers are #194. they are stock clear bulbs but colored version are available.

I was thinking of doing the same thing with my TA... I was going to paint everything except for the actual circular sockets where the bulbs sit so it would look like corvette lights, but having three instead of 2. I dunno what happened to that idea... lol

theres a kid from my area, with a grey 91 gta, w/white stripes. he painted all but 3 circles on his taillights, looks "eh", but he did it to the 91-92 gta taillights, the very rare 2 piece style...ill never understand why he did that and not just buy earlier style T/A lights cheap to paint... some people i'll never get.

no, im taling about painting the entire tail light (the red part) black with that paint. and only having the reverse light showing clearly. Ive seen cars like that with the circles...dont like them

Is this what you are talking about?

It looks really good, when done right.

If I had crappy tail-lights on my car I would do it.

[SpeakersGoBoom]

Yea. and thats the way im thinking of doing the trans am lights, leaving only the reverse light unpainted.

I vote for fully blacked out :wink: I still gotta throw more on, it's not as dark as you'd think. When the lights are on it's very noticeable and I haven't been hassled once. If you're close I'd let you just borrow my VHT.
