Has anyone painted or no of a company that has a black out for the third brake light?.. i was thinkin to just paint mine a little to give it that black look but still be red when in use.. since there are no refletors in the lense would it be legal?? after all it's only a brake light and still visible when in use.

 

People have done this. There was a product called "Night Shades" by VHT it was a smoke colored clear coat. I used it on my Black 1981 Z and it looked awesome.

 

Cool thanx again man!
ya i would rather paint them tho.. they look more smooth with no bulging cover and its way cheaper.. and it can be removed easly if needed. Ya i had all light covers on my Old IROC.. looks killer.

 

Trav, these ARE NOT COVERS!!! VHT is a paint manufacturer.

It is a smoked spray paint. I did all of the side markers lights and tail lights, looked really good and maintained all of the OEM lines.

 

**** no way!
sorry man didn't no.. is it a flat black? or does it have a some what gloss to it? and when the lights are one can u see the paint spots? unless u did a good paint job and can;t tell, do u have pics for your car??

 

I blacked mine out, you can check it out in my sig. Also blacked out my side markers. Email me and I will give you some steps as to how to do it, takes bout 30 mins to do all 3 lights. I have had mine outside for 1 and a half years and no probs so far.
