remember black krylon or krylom sompin like that satin
It seems that the hardest part is actually opening up the lights to paint them. I will make sure to heat them periodically so it won't be too prone to breaking. If it does brake I will go to the dealer and get a light, its less than 50 bucks for a new one anyway. How many times did you have to re-heat yours? How long did it take to do your lights?

It's not that easy on these trucks. There are several holes behind the badges and the emblem on the back is almost flush the the tailgate, so that would be a tone of bondo and shaving.

exactly my point, if the truck was in for paint, why not go through the extra work of having it all done at the same time.

I will. I sure as hell hope I don't break these bad boys because I did some searching and found it it would cost 175 bucks to replace one of them. Needless to say I will be taking my damn time.

Out of curiosity, have you had any problems with the po po and your tail lights?
