peice of **** tail lights

well i polished them and painted them, they looked real good, and i really liked them, but after a few hours, i noticed some weird lines forming where i had painted. so on close examination, i guess the paint i used started to etch or peel away the plastic, and their was nothing i could do to fix it, so i threw it on the ground and smashed it with my foot.

now i need a new pair of taillights. if anyone scouts any near mint grid style taillights at junkyards or anywhere else online, please let me know.

Dude!? You have to clean and scuff plastic before you can paint it. The lines may have been just paint seperating from itself with nothing to stick to. That or it was reacting with the original paint on the lens. Next time clean w soap and water scuff with a red scotch brite and use this stuff called trim black in LIGHT coats.
