i have a 91 z28 convertible and i want to take third brake light out and paint it black to match car but when i hit brakes i want it to light up 91 Z28 whats the best way to do this to make it look best and and shine bright red

 

i thought about doing something like that for my tailights, i have black outs in the back and a friend at work was tellin me that ram chargers ( i dont know if u have that where u are.) makes black outs that say z28 when u hit the brakes, i've never seen it myself but i was thinkin about takin my blackouts off and stencil in iroc-z then paint the surronding areas black so no light goes thru, but i'd be really pist if it didnt turn out right!

 

That's a really creative idea, if you get it done take some pictures and post them. I think Leahs88irocz had the right idea as far as making it, perhaps a stenciled design would be good to paint around. But that might be rather difficult if you're as bloody clumsy as I am.

What I would do is create a small window sticker with what I wanted written on it and stick it on the brake light - then I would paint the light and remove the sticker. Of course, you probably don't have the program and materials to do such a thing. So the stencil might be your cheapest option.

Hope something in my ramblings helps!

 

itsno prob getting the letters and words on i bought the letters already for 5$ from a sign shop just wanted to make sure i do it right cuz that third brake light has that writing on it that im going to have 2 sand off i was just wondering what sandpaper 2 start with and finish up with to make it look nice and smooth and not all crappy looking
then im going to put letters on put my paint on then pull stickers off and finish up with my clear coat

My 3rd brake light is in the hatch glass but same concept, so I used sheet metal and cut out my design, painted it flat black and hot glued it to the inside of the light housing. Hope it this helps.

 

i didnt know that anybody really did stuff like that to their 3rd brake light....they all look really good tho!

 

some people just want to be different

 

i know that lol
