Default Painted my tail light trim.

I think it really is on of those small personal touches that make the car mine. It was easy on only took about an hour with the waiting in between the 3 coats. I used some basic Auto Zone Black plastic paint. The last pic is with the tail lights on around 5:45 tonight. Tell me what you think.

Looks good. Tried the same thing a month ago with my left taillight. Cleaned it, used adhesion promoter, and still ended up with fisheyes. I have no idea what I did wrong.

Not my thing but not my car either, as long as you like it!

Thanks man. I guess it just makes the actual light part pop out more than just the whole blur of red.

It's a nice touch, and a good job.
