As far as the tail lights go...I agree with B3NN3TT, painted tail light covers would look great. I personally would not do shaded tails as they would just make the back of the car even "busier."

VERY TRUE! I put Aussies and Crystal sidemarkers on my car, and

It just looks 100x's sharper! I'm SOOO satisfied.

Awesome job on what you're doing. Looks a lot better from the first post, finish up those taillights and it'll be a beaut!

.05 & .10 you to death. that's ok, if it weren't this hobby it'd be another. oil paints and canvases are expensive too and i can't drive a painting on a windy road!

i posted this picture because i painted my fanblades black and got almost all positive responses...

painted my rims, what do you think?

thousandlegs · 07-26-2008, 01:40 AM

Yeah, I don't think that they look bad. I even commented in that thread and asked you how you did it. What kind of paint did you use? You said black primer but what brand and such? High temp?

thousandlegs · 08-05-2008, 10:41 PM

OK, I know that stock>ghetto but I decided to paint my fanblades anyway. This is fairly temporary anyway as I am hoping to get some "real" wheels before too terribly long. I think that it looks pretty fly so without further ado...

And there you have it.
