Finally got around to trying out the metalcast paint on my old tail lights... while I had the light covers off, I hit them with a few coats of black fusion paint too.

The red is a little more dark maroon-ish than the old bright red, but some of the darkness came from the multiple coats it took to cover the yellow section completely.

About 5 coats of metalcast red & a couple light coats of cheap clear. They look a little milky (due to camera) but they're super glossy in person.

looks better

 

Yup,
Something just didn't look right with the yellow turn signals & my red LEDs under the tailgate.

 

Very nice

 

that cleaned it up ALOT! looks good! i think the red looks better darker like that!

do what kinda paint did you use on the taillights

 

What do the turn signals look like now when they are on.

 

they probably shine red.

 

Shoot some clear on there and you will be set!

 

Duplicolor metalcast red

 

They're actually deep red.
A little bit of the original yellow shines through around the clear reverse lens, but the only way I could keep all the yellow out would have been to reduce the size of the reverse lens area.

 

i may have to try this sometime this weekend.....

 

Nice!
