Man those are really dark, when you put on the brakes can you still see the light from the bulb? I would be afraid of getting rear ended with tails like those

 

Ill take some night shots tonight and post em up later.... They look awesome at night when the taillights are on w/o the brakes.... A dark red with a black bottom...

 

so how much did it cost you to get it done?
how long did your buddy take to finish it?
apart from mixing black and clear coat... what else was done (procedures)? details, please if you can...

 

He charges $20 bucks a tail... and about $10 for the LED strip.....

It took him a bout 2 hours because he hadn't finished painting a Mercedes bumper by closing on Saturday, so he was going back and forth.... Id say about 35-45 minutes plus bake + cooldown time....

He cleaned it with some sort of cleaner, (May have also went over it with a fine-grit so the paint would stick, couldnt tell whether he was wiping or scoring...) But then he let them dry and they became all murky....

He then taped them off and applied the paint.... After that, he baked them and let them cool and they were ready....

Hope this helps.... If ya have any other questions, Ill see if I can remember....

 

In Fairfax VA. They pulled me over for my smoked Tails and Hyper white turn signals and I pushed the guy as far as I could trying to call his bluff on me taking my car home as is. I had Delaware plates on at the time and I said "Sir I understand but my car is Delaware tagged and I'm just passing through, they are legal in my state." His response was "Son I don't care where your from, your in my state NOW and your not going home with this car like it is, so change your bulbs and lights or I'm calling you a tow truck." I called my friend who lived down the road (I was actually living in VA on DE tags) and had him bring up my parts. I took my time to take up the cops time. He sat there for an hour and half while I changed them out on a busy backroad.

 

I was just about to ask about that...
