damn those are dark

Its actually not that bad at all. I started with already black LED tails so the tint has less to fight with.

If thats regular paint hows it shine threw?

What JJ is saying by "light coat" is the painter actually cuts normal automotive paint with a ton more paint thinner(clear) so it becomes more and more transparent while still retaining the OEM color. Then when you spray it the more coats you add the darker the tint becomes. Then they put clear coat over it like normal, cut, buff/polish and they are good to go. Works great and JJ is they guy to get it done for you. Both my tails and my headlights reflectors are color match tinted.

I've considered getting my tails painted white. I just don't know how that'd look, can't imagine it, and can't find an example..

this makes me wonder how orange tails would look......hmm

id think great if you started with a clear, chrome, or black, LED tail lights. Dont know how much the OEM red would effect the orange. Bad freakin ass if its pulled off!!!! I think a DT member may have done it??

was that the guy from DT? Did he use the OEM tails? I would assume that if he did they would look bad. but an aftermarket tail??? maybe, maybe not?

are they being done over OEM red tails? I think thats what would screw most other colors up.
