All you have to do is tape them off and spray them. Well obviously clean them and everything first. I just followed the lines in the lights. I use 1" painters tape and it fit almost perfectly

That looks really good. I didn't think anyone else had actually done it.

Thanks, I had honeycombs but wanted to have more of a throwback retro look to go with my car. I myself was wondering why nobody else had done it.

That spoiler looks killer Throwback. Retro-fitted? Also like pearl white, very classy.
