Re: eBay Item, 3rd brake light decal

It's hard to do vinyl over the lens. The light tends to bleed though, washing it out as 1 solid color.

I wonder if the seller put some really dim bulbs in, to make it look good. I tried WS6 on my GTA 3rd brake light lens....came out looking stock at night.

I'll work on it more, and let you know.

Re: eBay Item, 3rd brake light decal

Re: eBay Item, 3rd brake light decal

so i guess the best option is still to print off a template and reverse mask then paint it. lots of work for such a small thing really.

I might still do it. I have a can of body color spray paint that matches, maybe i'll try it this weekend. My list keeps getting bigger. lol!
