Night Shades Tails and 3rd brake light done, also did overlays.
I decided to de-badge my truck and started with doing the Ford emblem overlays. The emblems were getting cloudy and chipping as they all do so I thought it was time. I got these from Patriot Decals, I think I paid about $28 for shipping with one for the front, one for the back and one for the steering wheel. I got the front one off easy but the rear I just taped off, sanded adn painted with it on the truck.
A little while later I had the truck parked outside my GF's house. Her neighbour's dog got loose and ran at some guy walking down the street and he slammed into my truck. I didn't see it happen but another neighbour said it did. So into the body shop she went.
While it was in there I figured it would be a perfect time to spray some nightshades on my tails and third brake light.
Cleaned and taped:
Wetsanded:
Coats 1-4 and final product:
Took them to the body shop where a friend of mine is the painter. He scuffed them and cleared them.
I'm very happy with how they turned out. They're a little lighter than they look in the pics, still lots of light gets through. I got a lot of compliments on how evenly dark I got them. Third brake light came out too dark though but still looks good.
Next step is Saleen side vents to replace the stock badges and a bumper sticker to cover the holes from the rear badge.

Yes it's possible. I just didn't realize it at the time. After it was done I realized it but it was too late. It will just take more time to sand down the lettering.
