Did DIY VII Tails

Just as the title says. Figure id post up a few pics. I used Candy Apple Red Transparent paint and clear. Didnt do the 5 lines on the turn signal because i couldnt find any 1/8 tape. but it still looks great!

Looks great, was planning to do this but I couldn't find the right spray. What did you use? I used vinyl instead :P

looks pretty good, Justin. Did they come out "foggy red" at all? I guess a good question is did you sand them and do multi-layers or just go at it? Regardless, they look pretty good in the pics.

No they dont look foggy but we will see if they changes. I got the paint at Michael Craft Store. In the Model Section. They have the small cans on paint. I put 2 coats of Candy Apply Red, then 2 coats of clear. no sanding. Thanks everyone. Ill get real Vii's some day.

that is an old shot, just a teaser for Brett before he came home and got those VII tails. My car is still down and out at ER, but should be rockin' next week!

Seen you on 522 a few times and pulling into Lowes, btw. I wave just for the fun of it, even though I figure you aren't paying attention to the S10 pickup or the Honda Pilot across the freeway.

^off the 160th exit? Look at you, growing up!

I think I looked at those apartments many years ago.

Oh yeah, spun a bearing. 2 weeks after getting the car back.
