What did you use? I'm considering tinting my tails and would like some suggestions on what's good to use.
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

the back looks amazing. post more pics of the front tho, cuz from that pic it looks like you missed with the paint at the top. other than that good job.

mine don't look that good, i didn't prep OR clear coat mine... they look dull if you look at my VBpics close enough..

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.
