I love my depo tails but the seam of glue or what not is painfully obvious around the edges. Separating a black car and the black housings, it looks even worse



So I wanted to cover this a bit. I started by taping off what I didn't want painted (yes I took it off of the car for this)





Don't ask me why I came up with that exact design, just thought it looked good. Next I painted it with about 5 coats of tint spray, which seemed safer than actual paint. They only recommend you use 3 but its not covering anything important so I wanted it very dark.



And I think they turned out great. There's a couple of blemishes on one of the tails where the tape didn't stay down completely, but I think it'll be easily fixed.







What do you guys think? I'll get some better pictures than these crap cell phone pics if you'd like.

 

I'm diggin it man! I need some new tails now! Great work!

 

That looks good.

 

it looks good now but i think if u sprayed it darker it would blend in with the body and that would look really cool
just my opinion
but it looks good already

 

I think it looks pretty cool, gives me an idea to do that to mine

 

Looks good and unique great job.

 

looks really good, i would put a few clear coats on there as well so it stays looking good.

 

Yea I'd hoped it would have turned out darker. With the tape on it looked a whole lot darker but that's because the tape was blocking any light from getting in

I was actually thinking about it but the last time I tried to use clear coat it was a disaster. When I painted my old grill it looked real grainy, just didn't turn out at all. Would you suggest trying anyway? could I spray the whole light with a clear coat or would I have to tape it off again?

 

i'm not sure how well a clear coat would stick to unpainted plastic so maybe just tape it off again? but without a clear coat the paint will start to fade quick

 

I was thinking of tinting the entire tail and using clear coat, any feedback?

 

^That should look good, but be careful, it may be illegal to paint the whole thing

Thanks for the positive remarks guys

 

I wanted to use tint paint, not just black paint

 

that looks good.

nice work

 

looks a lot better

 

No one has any idea for my post, lol
