hey fellow orgers lemme kno if u like it...

i not to long ago traded an orger for his all red 2K tailights and and had enough time to swing by squirell82 (best painter in the world, true ish) to have him do this

BEFORE




starting the work

 

After the paint


but i wasnt done yet

 

Looks good. Another guy here in town did the same with his sterling mist Max. Did you clearcoat?

 

Posting with the quickness.

 

lol... squirell has all your painting answers lls

 

Nice, what else is done to the car?

 

Looks good! I will be pm ing u about painting my roof soon Squirrel!

 

get your emblem glue off there !!
looks good.. what kinda paint did you use does it still reflect or just glossy black?

 

Looks alright, the lines are a little off, but very nice job on the paint. did you clearcoat them?

 

Its really easy to do it yourself... i did it in 30 mins

Looks good!!

 

the new look is a lot better than the before look. As an alternative to buying SE tail lights I think the paint job is sweet. However...I do like the SE tail lights more b/c they have more depth to them b/c the "weave-ish" black material is on the inside of the housing and not just a spray on the outside

 

definitely looks better than before, nice mod. i wasn't ever one for the red blinker mod but looks good on your ride

 

looking good boss. That glue residue under the Maxima emblem was a B!TCH...until I pulled out the hairdryer

 

looks good man.. ive always wanted to do that.. but not full black out.. maybe like a evtremly light light tint... but that would be a PITA

 

not even Its really really easy! evein I can do it!

Dude, you look exactly like my friend's husband...thats ****ing creepy

 

poor girl. lmao no seriously where are they? I have a brother in Kansas city. Ks

 

lls, im still in the process of removing the maxima sticker, it was just getting late and i had to pick my girldfriend up so i had to pause for the day, i like it painted better, i didnt like the fact that you can see through the 2K SE taillights... the lines are just about as good as a human will get em unless the make a machine to cut tape on a headlights then i dont think there was much more to do... i love em... i look out the window every 5mins.......... someone ask what other mods, the car is 4 months old, and my mods are in my sig, i just recently got lowered plus i have extra lowering springs that im probebly gonna cut and i have some G35 18's and 8K headlights and 8K high beams

 

+1 for Squirrel. Excellent painter.

Tails came out real nice.

 

man knows his ISH man, best painter i've come across ever

 

Thanks fellas.How we did these lights:
Clean the light.
Tape everything off.
Lightly scuff with 3M golds pad or about 800 ish sandpaper making sure all the shine is taken off .
Clean with alcohol.
Single coat plastic adhesion promoter.
2 coats solid black basecoat.
2 coats clearcoat.All sherwin williams auto paints so the finish on the lights will outlast the paint on the car.

The overlay is pretty much a red sticker.Those go on like tint .Wetting with decal solution and laying the film on top.Squeeging from the center on out.Then trimming with a fresh razor.

Also the glue on the back will smear all over the pace if not carefull.

 

fat chance....Connecticut

 

tails came out great. IMO all red would look better on the pebble beige. but the paint job is fantastic, great craftsmanship

 

looks real nice man. CHECK OUT THE NEW TAILS I DID RECENTLY YOU MIGHT LIKE MINE TO GET SOME MORE IDEAS. POSTED LOTS OF NEW PICS. THANKS

 

Ease up on the caps lock man...

 

i was kinda gettn attached to the reds cause they look so well on the sterling, thats how i went to maxus but in the end, i way prefer these style

 

I agree, all red on sterling looks real good.

 

it does but after a while you'll get tired of it, blends in with stock maxima's too much (and there are probebly 50,000 of the in MD alone lol)

 

First time I heard about or seen the overlays was on djfretyl's car.

 

first time i seen it was on MixedSE (iirc thats his name) then yours squirrel then secondtonone's

 

- That was over a year ago when I met Squirrel. And by then I had them on my car for a year or two before that.

Wasn't my idea though. A buddy of mine came up with them BEFORE BluBatmobile started mass producing them for every car/light under the sun.

 

u know i still have my all reds for sale

AND IF YOU ACT NOW I WILL THROW IN MY WIFE

/billy mays sales pitch

looks good man, i would have tinted those bad boys though, but good job on the painting

i like your offer, may i see pics of the wife

 

rofl

FYI there is no return policy on the wife, only teh tails...are you sure? lol

 

well you have a deal depending on the looks of the wife
