Painted Taillights
 

Has anyone painted their taillights to match their car color. I am thinkningof painting my SE tails to match my car.(Super black) I would love to see some pics and hear some feedback on how hard it is and how it has turned out.

:fro:

There are a few guys that have done this.

One that I remember is a sterling mist maxima.

It looks pretty good.

Has anyone thought about smoking out the chrome sections of the 2k2 tails?

It's been discussed, but I don't think anyone has actually done it. I beleive EMax recommended against opening the tails, I forget why, but he's done it before so I trust him. However, it's not impossible, because the Street Concepts Max has smoked tails (and headlights too).

my tails are getting painted as we speek!

What color are you painting them??

Post some pics when you are done.

Look for the sig for NISSANMAXIMAS in this thread, page 1:

Have you seend anyone that has painted them black.

nope...since SE lights are so close to black anyway, I would not really bother...

I know on my black AE the SE tails are just fine....

body color

sterling mist

mine should be done next week:)

lemme guess your getting them painted BLU :p

your majestically correct:)

My 2000 SE has the smoked tails as well, but i was tossing around the idea of painting them black to match or swapping them out for the 02's. I can't decide what i like better. I love the 02's but I don't like the orange lense they have. I want my car "Orange free"

Of the two choices, please paint your current ones!! Keep your back end 'Altezza' free!!

See that's exactly what I think. i like he smooth look of the black car with the dark tails. What kind of paint owuld I use and where could i pick it up.

You may want ot go back to the thread link I posted and contact him to see what comments/reccomendations can be made.

gregs2kgle has this done already he will be posting soon with advice:cool:

Yes I have painted tails. I was going to it myself, but then I said, f*ck it. I brought it to a body shop and they did an excellent job. Still looks new after over 7 months.

i remember i did a poll of who liked my tails when i first did them.. last year aug 2001.. no one liked them now i see everyone doin it.. just goes to show you how judgemental people can be.. :rolleyes:

i still say my tails and anything i did to my car is HOT! ;)
why cause im OFFCIAL!

ive always loved those tails, they look sweet. plus my car is sterling mist too :D
