Ok, I've been looking for some paint to use on my tails. The only hobby shop I could have ordered through was closed down by the Gov. Wall Mart has Testors Black Pearl. Now. I'm thinking two things: 1. this is just gloss black paint, or 2. this is a pearl like a colored overcoat. Can it be used on my tails and still have the tails turn amber at night? I'm thinking about taking my tails apart and using new lenses. hmm, this breeds an Idea.

Let me know what you think.

Jon

Gloss black Krylon worked good for me. I completely blacked out the reflective area on the side of my rear coupe tails. I also blacked out my front signals, but I think I could of gone a couple cotes lighter on them because they are a little hard to see in the day. They are a lot easier to see at night. Looks good on my black car though. Still not sure about the tails. I can't stick with a design. I keep repainting them. But ya thats my experience with spraypaint and lights. biggrin.gif
