Looks good... I have a new set of tails coming so I can crack them open and do the insides. I was never 100% happy with my first attempt (I painted the outside)
I've been trying to find the VHT metal tint...

I used VHT on my tails and I got it at summitracing.com. It was around $13 w/shipping, I think.

Nice! Very clean, looks great!

Does the amber light for the blinker still show thru?

I don't know about the OP, but I changed mine to clear to avoid that phenomenon.

Yea, I changed all mine to clear when I redded the tails.
Rear blinkers don't need to be amber, they can be red too.

^ I think it would be too red... you should either smoke yours or order the 3/4 smoke overlays from bluebat.

EZ-BAKED those tails are RED as all heck! That looks sick, but now I need to see some night pics of em'. My only problem is that the red may clash just a bit with the camo.

ajayaitch, your tails blend very well with the Salsa Red! That looks great!

Two very different styles of cherried tails here, both are awesome!

So you used Krylon stained class paint in red instead of VHT Red Metal Tint or Testor's Candy Red Spray Paint as others have done? How did you get that darker red border?
