Both the tails and the intake are looking great! Nice job dude

 

[sick_stang302]

thanks man
what do the guys that tint their tails usually use?
i just used some of the plastic rattle can paint on the tails, marker lights, 3rd brakelight, and the pony
and it worked great

you need to wet sand the tint on the tails so it looks glossy and smooth

yeah, i plan on going over it with 800 grit and then put another coat, and go over that with 1200, and then clear coat it tomorrow

Don't the bezels unbolt from the lights? I know they do on 96-98 tails...makes painting a lot easier.

 

[sick_stang302]

good question. they may not have been 1 piece, but they did somthin to em
all i know is there isnt a way to get them apart w/o breaking them

 

[BlackMachDown]

taping them off

notice the lights were for two year only haha

Ford probably had a solid plastic masking tool that was the size of the lights and just stuck them to each light and painted the bezels. Like a perfect shape to contour to the lights. ? :dunno:
