You did a nice job. They look good.

 

thank you! i turned out alot better than i thought it would really

 

What happens when you get rear-ended because nobody can see the brake lights as they were meant to be?

 

at nigth you cant tell the difference at all, same amount of light, the paint style or whatever it is is actually a plastic, and in the light you can see red

 

the brake lights still shine through as long as it's not put on there very thick, like more than 2 or 3 coats. I've seen it used before, if done right it looks good and won't reduce the effectiveness of the lights much. Looks to me like this is an example of a job well done.

 

What about during the day? I'm just saying... I think some of the darkened lights you can get have brighter bulbs (i.e. LEDs and such) so that they will still serve their purpose day and night.

 

oh i understand and like 11FX4EBOOST said as long as its not thick the light shines through like normal, i made sure i only put one coat on, plus i hate the fully blacked out look, and i cant afford harley taillights right now lol

 

how many coats did you use?

that looks REALLY dark


looks good against the white truck, but I'd still worry about the remaining light output if they were bolted to my truck...

 

i used one coat, no joke, i saw how dark it was and didnt spray anymore, BUT i buffed it to
