Rep Power: 0 err yea it was taken in the underground parking of my apt.. but overall i did a bad job... i shouldve taken a pic of it with the light shooting through... but anyways like it doesnt show too clear cause u would see a lot of the uneven blobs type of thing...

Rep Power: 0 I like it - how does it effect your lighting though? Do both the brake and signal lights show through just as well when your driving even through the paint? Is it even paint? I'd really like to know how you did that.. grats on a unique idea

Rep Power: 0 it shows through clearly... but imagine ummm smearing clear jello over a piece of plastic and then shooting a light through it.. and all the lil imperfections of the jello will light up.... anyways i used the japanese tail spray stuff.. i was kinda disappointed that it didnt come out very shiny tho... i think i shouldve used clear coat gloss but oh well... btw after the spray hardens u can just tear it off like a film if u scrape it anywyas .. oh and i got my H emblem painted black and that thing above my license plate black

Rep Power: 0 I used the same stuff on my tails too!!!!......I had to scrape it off cause I'm an idiot and used the whole can on both tails....Is yours cracking eskimo?????........mine did........
I sanded it off, then bought glossy spray paint, and clear coat.......left the horseshoe pattern, and blacked out the rest........
Use the gloss.......IT will help a lot.......good luck.....I know what your goign through.............
(And I can't see the picture at all, it is really dark....)

Rep Power: 0 hey thanks for all the compliments... but what lips? also trevor im gonna be using testors model transparent black window tint #2949, i've already smoked out my blinkers on my m3 mirrors and i'll be doing my tails... i wannamake my blinkers the U's tho somehow... i also feel like covering up the top half of the tail lights completely with fiberglass or something. i agree clear coat gloss is definitely needed. as for using one can for both tail lights.. i did the same.. its not cracking tho
