Dan is a supporting vendor and a great guy to work with. I have purchased his vert partition and would recommend him. Check out his blackout kit.

No problem. I had a set and liked them.

Recently, I switched to stock tail lights tinted black and flushmounted them. I love the blackout look.

Tinted? I've seen the spray can tint you can use to get it as dark or light as you want, did you use something similar?

Forum member 74-Roadster paints/tints lights on the side. His process is to use House of Kolor clear tinted with a little black. He sands off the raised letters on the lights, preps them, and paints them. He wetsands and buffs them to a nice finish.

I'm very happy with the results.

Hey Scott! Glad to hear you're still pleased with my work!

What I do is labor intensive, but man it looks the best IMHO. My lights have as good, if not better paint finish than my car.
