Painted! :thumbsup: With VHT Niteshade Red* I did a lot of coats to make sure it has a solid deep red look, then top it up with a thick glossy clearcoat.

bmxbandit 11-15-2012 09:38 AM

this is the way they should have come from the factory. looks great!

raul 11-15-2012 09:42 AM

Looks awesome. Nice job with it! Might do this to mine ;)

Rayme 11-15-2012 09:44 AM

It looks really good. Though I must ask does it have a glossy finish or that shitty grainy spray bomb finish? I can't stand the spray bomb matte texture...

Mr.Jay 11-15-2012 02:35 PM

going to do mine again too!

but waiting for better weather. too damn cold to be working in my non heated no room garage

Wes 11-15-2012 02:49 PM

Looks very nice! I want to do this to mine too, and love that M3! =]

You can polish the paint and the matte finish will be gone assuming of course the clear was laid properly.

Depending on the process it should come out looking like a body shop sprayed the pieces once they have been polished.

Back in the day I used VHT Nightshade paint to blackout my tail lights. Dumb move as it got me a ticket but I did have shiny black tinted tails. :iono:

Looks great. I wanna do this but I want the gloss. Was the clear enough? More pics?

Cudgel 11-15-2012 05:31 PM

Nicely done!

lazyluka 11-15-2012 07:52 PM

Nice. :thumbsup:

Could you take a video and post it with brake lights on/off and indicator on/off. Here in New Zealand we have some tough laws on modifications so I would like to judge if the amount of light would be legal before I do this to my own car.

Thanks :)

Mr.Jay 11-15-2012 08:08 PM

light output is almost just like stock. there is not a noticeable loss in light output at all
