black rear taillight panel..

do you all buy this from somewhere or just paint it? if so is there a particular black you paint it because i see alot of them painted like a pastel black rather than gloss/metallic.

i painted mine. i used a satin black color. there are guys that use a glossy or low gloss black color for personal preference and likeness. The satin/flat black color is like the tail panels off the special edition cars. If you didnt want to do it yourself Im sure you can find one for sale somewhere or make a trade. Very easy to do tho.

I have pics on my cardomain page

I used just a flat black, had a buddy do it at his shop. You can also look in search under "Berger tail panel" there might be some hits there.

i did mine myself and i love it! its not too difficult you just have to be very meticulous. i used a satin black, i've seen the gloss and it stands out too much for me, i think the satin makes it low key enough to look absolutely awesome. what color is your car?
