BimmerJr87 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 I'm gonna spray my tailights and back up lights tomrorw with the nightshades. The one thing that I am worried about is the little chrome olds symbol in the middle of the light. I am wodering if it will show through and look weird. If anyone has sprayed nightshades on a pre '91 car could u post pics or tell what it looked like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EurosportZ34 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 jeremy did and it looks tits...literally!! aren't all cutty lights pretty much the same throughout all the years? if so, why the hell not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terryk2003 Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 the newer ones are a bit different...they don't have that chrome emblem in the center... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stockgp Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 why wouldn't you just take the tail lights apart and spray the inside with nightshades? that's what i did with my gp tail lights. that way you don't have to worry about taping off anything.

Â Â that would be impossible to do on cutty tails, they don't have clear lenses with colored inserts like the GP ones... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GnatGoSplat Posted November 18, 2004 Report Share Posted November 18, 2004 If you're worried about them showing, you could always paint just the emblem itself with Testor's Candy Apple Red. That will make the emblem exactly the same color as the rest of the taillight. Then niteshades over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BimmerJr87 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Alright guys here are the final pics, everything turned out well, and the oldsmobile symbol was not a problem the nightshades covered it right up. The brake lights are kind of dim now so I just ordered LED bulbs for them, Ill also post a pic of the lights with the LED bulbs soon as they arrive. The lights actually turned out really good, during the day they look completely black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TeeJay3800 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Looks really good, but its a little too dark for me. Did you put more than one coat on? If so, would they be dark but not and pitch black as yours if I did only 1 coat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GutlessSupreme Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Looks really good, but its a little too dark for me.  :withstupid: little too dark for a white car maybe, I dunno. does looks pretty good though  btw.. I've heard from a good handful of people that the LED brake lights out there absolutely suck.. :? like worse than regular bulbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BimmerJr87 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 LOL well i cant remember how many coats I put on. I wanted a really black color. I think it looks good with the black mirrors and also, the black molding by the door handle. I'm also tinting my windows after Chirtmas so it should look good with the tint. When I get the lights in I'll let u guys know how they work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
