@swervo I see you painted your taillights. I want to do that to mine but to go darker. A local shop told me you cannot use film cuz its not smooth. And the spray would crack over time. I was wondering did you do it or did you pay someone to do it? Also do you know if it is just black paint or a special type of paint? Do you know how many coats were used on yours? And if you dont mind how much did you spend to have it done?

A friend of mine that works at a body shop painted them for free. Not sure what type of paint he used, but I know he used 3 coats of it as I was watching him do it. Everytime he applied a coat he would bring it out to show me if it was the right shade I wanted or to go darker.
