    I just used regular Duplicolor gloss black, three coats on the trunk garnish and two VERY light coats on the actual taillights themselves. It was basically an experiment that turned out alot better than i expected. lol

                      I did mines over and made them really dark....had to use a brighter bulb to see in the daytime ...i think i'll leave the one on the spoiler alone just in case the cops are feeling bored one day

                                I just tinted the corner lights and the garnish... and soon doing the tail lights. Sorry to bring this old thread back, but I had to share I know that not many people haven't done this. And here's the corners: I used VHT niteshades and a clearcoat from duplicolor. I love my corners, but I just smashed on on accident today after 2 days of having them!!! ****!


                                protege is sold, selling the last bits that I have left. Buy them.
