Cool New tail lights!!!!

I finially got my package from Summit Racing, I ordered a can of VHC Nightstade spray (to paint my tail lights) Along with the spray i ordered came Summit Racing stickers (known in the rice community to add like 20 hp), and a hat.

Tail lights off the truck..I prepped the tail lights with hand sanitizer (the only alcohol i could find around the house that hadent already been drank)

During painting (also i recommend you do this in a well ventilated area like the can says, not in a closed garage like i did.. it kinda gives you a sore throat after about 30 minutes)

An after....What do ya thank? I put 3 coats on...Should i put on more or leave it as it is?

Boo, my order from Summit didn't come with stickers. I could have really used those 20 HP.

Came out nice.

Nope, no clear coat. I like the matt look, when its glossy all the imperfections show.

I really like how it came out too, thanks for the kind words fella's.

I had washed and waxed my truck earlier in the day (dident wax the tails of course) but other then that i dident prep them at all. I just put some hand sanitizer on a shop towel (there the blue paper towels there really tuff, you cant even rip them) and whiped them down.

The can was only i think 12 dollars and 10 dollars for handleing.

Looks good. Hey is this permanent? I ask because I cant decide for the backup light space to leave it clear or paint it all like you did. My truck is black so it would deff look good.
