Default Painted tail lamps
Just got my Z back. Rather than put tint on them, I decided to go with a coat of paint. Shop made a nice mixture. They showed me how dark it gets with each coat. This is 2 coats. What do ya guys think? I got it done in Brooklyn, NY. If anyone in the area likes the way it came out, PM me and I'll give you the shop info. Reasonably priced.

Why thank you! I was afraid it was going to come out to dark but the shop owner brought me out to the paint booth and let me watch as the painted sprayed each coat. The photo reflects 2 coats. I'm happy with the result.
Thanks again!
