painted third tail light on the ta

looked king weird sticking out by itself with the blackouts on. I might do somemore painting to the bottom of the light so the red is smaller but you get the idea.

It looks good, but why did you paint it on the car? It's pretty easy to remove and then you wouldn't have to worry about over spray on the car.

i didn't paint it on the car, i did the filler on the car to smooth it out level with the car. then took it off to paint it.

I like it. It does smooth it out. Must be easy for you guys with black paint.

Ahhh, gotcha, I thought you just painted it on the car. I didn't realize that you put filler on it and smoothed it out.

Looks great.

Interesting! I was thinking about doing something like this the other day. Don't suppose you could get a wider shot of it? Does the light shine through the top at all at night?
