Default Painted my tail light outlines

Okay, I just remembered that I didn't post up what Idid to the tail lights. I didn't get a "before" picture, but I used black paint to outline the lenses. Only needed a $3.99 rattle can and some masking tape:







With any luck my VHT black out spray will arrive in time for me to tint the front lenses darker beforenext weekendas well.
