alright guys so i missed my VII replica tails so i had to replicate them again and here are the steps and the turn out. I also do this as a little side job pm me if you guys want yours done also

ATTENTION : I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOU TRY THIS AT HOME AND RUIN YOUR TAILS THIS IS JUST A DO IT YOUR SELF AT YOUR OWN RISK.. I AM NOT LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES DONE TO YOUR CAR OR DAMAGES.

Intro and materials



before pic


step 1: wet sand with a 1000 grit sand paper


how its suppose to look after wet sand


both tails wet sanded


Step2: after wet sanding you need to tape the lights in the bottom portion to replicate the VII tails




step 3: with rubbing alcohol rub them down to remove any grease and dust


step 4: shoot the paint in a non windy shaded area this paint dries quick and will crate a hazy look (trust me i have to re do my first set 2 x not fun)



step 5: sorry guys no pic but details: after letting the tails sit for about 15 min remove the tape and shoot clear 3 coats first coat is a mist to become a adhesive, 5 min later second coat wet with out running the clear so it gets the shine, 3rd coast the last mist so it protects the shine>.

step 5: installing the finished product

Sexy!!!

 

thank you sir

 

They aren't the right shade for a perfect match, but you did a great job with attention to detail and quality.

 

yeah they're darker but i did them like that for the reason the real jdm 7 lights look pink to me but. i love the darker shade of red

 

looks nice.. love the blood redish look to it

 

thanks.. just bought a couple sets of evo 8 tails and going to try to replicate them into jdm evo 8 and jdm evo 9 tails lets see how they come out

 

loving it!

 

thanks cant wait for the other tails to come and try new paint schemes out

if anyone has evo tails for sale and cheap ill buy them let me know

 

Nice job, they look great! I'm interested in jdm mr tails.

 

Wow those are nice sir!

 

How many coats of red did you use?

Clean job, regardless if it matches or not.

 

Thanks , I used 3 coats first coat was a light mist just to get it to be a adhesive for the second coat, second coat was the wet coat was a slow left to right 75% over lap at this point they will look exactly like te red tint on the O.G evo VII lights and the third coat is a mist coat to get it a bit darker

 

Does that paint dry flat like niteshades?

 

nice, i might try that with evo x tailights
