anyone know a place around brooklyn that does a good job painting tailights? i like how a silver car looks with painted black taillights cuz its darker than the overlays. im not sure if it matte or whatever it is though. light still goes thru but its just dimmer. anyone around ny brooklyn know a place that does good tail light painting and how much did it cost?

thankss

ill tell you this much when they paint it in the shop they use the special tint paint from a can that they spray the lights with how ever dark you want them to be with a spray gun, in the hands of a professional it will almost always come out better then when you spray it yourself with a spray tint

as for the headlight overlays anyway i could do it myself without a heat gun it looks fairly simple cuz its already cut out for me i think. ( blue bats gtr overlay) im really running low on cash but i dont wanna ef it up lol cuz i only got 1 shot at it. not sure how much i gotta spend to let them install it for me =[

if you are running low on cash, paint the tail lights yourself, it will save you $100. Then have a shop do the vinal on the front. If you use the same paint i did and u mess up. You can just wipe it off and try again. I had never painted headlights before untill this, and I did my first try. It is really easy. The vinal is a little bit trickier because you haft to stretch it. But the gtr overlays arnt to bad because there isnt a dramatic curve like the tail lights.
