So since I got my GT about a month and a half ago I've been wanting to do the tail lights, third brake light and side markers. Well today is the day! I am about mid process right now, will post pictures later this evening!
Yes I did, I have a delrin screwdriver/chisel tool I machined and used it to pop it out. very easy to get out, and pull the connector off and you're good to go.Did you remove your side markers in order to tint? I want to do mine...
What did u paint the wheels with? I have chrome foose like urs and want them black like thatI painted it all my self
Yuupp! Was that ur first time doing that? What's the process because I thought of plastic dipping mine and using a clear coat but I think ur way looks a lot betterAre these what you had? These on mine before.
And I went to auto zone and bought some high quality grey primer and then I bought gloss black and a clear coat. And a **** ton of sand paper
. Iv done it before for my friends but here's what I did....first I cleaned all the rims spotless and hand dried every little part and sanded all the chrome tell it wasn't shinny anymore......then you take the primer and put a mist of it over the whole rim but not covering the whole thing....then you take the primer and cover all of the rim by going line by line.....you put 3 coats of primer on then sand it lightly and put one more coat of primer then use a very fine sand paper to and do it again....then do the same with your gloss but after the 3 rd coat WET SAND with a very fine paper. After that do 2 coats of clear coat and then wet sand and do ur final coatYuupp! Was that ur first time doing that? What's the process because I thought of plastic dipping mine and using a clear coat but I think ur way looks a lot better
Thanks for that! I actually tested that out when my lights are lit, they are visible! this is in running/parking lights. and during the day when break lights are needed. All is visible with no problem.Just for You BEACHMONKEY100.
