Paint question...sorta
#12
You might not want to cover the whole taillight either. I got a couple of inexpensive spares to play with. Wrapped them in a non-slip for a carpet. (I borrowed this idea from a computer modding site showing how to air-brushed a carbon-fiber look.) Then I sprayed through the holes in the foam, pulled the foam off, then sprayed the edges darker. The middle is just lightly covered. You could also tape off an area with a pattern, etc. Get creative!

(I chose this picture because it shows the pattern better, but in reality, one can barely make out any red)

With just a light covering in the middle part, I think the brake lights themselves are very visible. I tried a set of LED's from CTC, and they're garbage so I went back to regular bulbs that do a better job.

After looking at this, think I'll wash her tonight!
