    I like the idea of blacking out my side marker and bumper lenses, to me, it looks cleaner than clear lenses on this body style. Have't bought the stuff yet, but I will with either my tax refund (if there is anything left of it from the state screwing me, not bad though, $11, I haven't heard the amount I am supposed to get back) or my next paycheck. I'm going to try to get my breather first with my Auto Zone Gift Card.

    Sup guys havent been on in a while. Thanks 88sandshark but if your goin that way then the best thing to do is sand or scuff the covers then spray the black then spray clear. i prefer using a gun but if your goin can then thats the best way

    my bad what i do is i get some urathane clear (dont buy laquer clear or paint, your jobs will come out way better and the way you want it. all spray cans are laquer.) and then i add a little black paint in with the clear and mix. the reason i do that is so the more coats i spray the darker it gets, plus i can see the finish product b4 its done. sometimes if you spray black and say ok thats good and then you spray clear and you take em out side and say i shouldnt sprayed more. I've been painting all my friends tail lights and only charging 15 bucks.

    oh and i've sprayed my whole truck with spray can long time ago and it came out nice. hunter green and flat black now its just in primer
