Local Shop to Paint Tail Lights

b1adesofcha0s · 07-07-2011, 02:56 PM

Ok so here's what I want my tail lights to look like. How would I get them to look like this or what should I tell the guy at the paint shop? Stopping by there soon after work to get a quote.

That may have been painted+clearcoat and then wetsanded and buffed.

Either that or its a really good tint job

That's a pic of a tail light painted by 180 custom in NY. I was thinking about going there, but it would be easier to find a local shop. On that note, anyone have recommendations for local shops? I'm at Wilson's Auto Body right now to get a quote.

Blades, Im definitely late and have not read any of this thread, but I wanna have my tail lights shot with a couple coats of clear to get that nice shine to them. Let me know how much you're charged for your set.

They told me it would be $100

I just need to find some time where I can get Kirk to help me take out my tail lights so I can go drop them off. I would like to get it done towards the weekend since I don't need my car as much, but my next couple of weekends are looking pretty busy.

Hey, I'm Masa friend that had done his own tail lights with VHT on the 5.0.

Once you have it done by the auto shop post some pics. They might earn my business if they turn out well.

Everyone lives so far west and north. I am all the way out by Annapolis... forever alone.

b1adesofcha0s · 07-17-2011, 04:32 PM

I'm only like 20 mins from Annapolis

SolidKatfish · 07-17-2011, 04:39 PM
