I recently got an e-mail reminding me I hadn't stopped by in a while, so I figured I'd post this here, too!
I had been thinking about doing this for awhile. I finally decided it was time to give it a shot. I've never done this kind of painting before, so I was a little nervous. I have to give props to the site for having a lot of great write-ups to guide me!
As for the design, I was inspired by Sonny Rooney. I wanted to keep the red reflector to stay legal, but wanted something a little different than the usual tinted tails. I used Krylon Fusion Gloss Black and a ton of clear to get them shiny. I wet sanded with 2000 then hit it with Mother's scratch remover. For my first time, I think they came out pretty good! Here are the results:
From further back they look tinted almost.
Night time with the flash
And without the flash
