I'd smoke the stockers and candy the euros .. but that's me.

Since they are already smooth, you don't need any rough paper .. 400 and 600 should be fine.

:word: 400 and 600 grit will do the trick. The first time i did my tails i had to start off with 60 grit...but if u know how the reverse lense on 73-87 tails is, you would understand. If you have any really rough spots, hit them 200 grit or so, but 400 and 600 should do the trick. I also agree with bcubed, tint the stockers too, and candy the euros...tint them some too if u want them to be a bit fancy...lol

alright.......i might do that..thanx...keep the suggestions comin..

I used 220 to sand the dot #'s and crap off, and after I sprayed used 600 Wet

Yeah, might as well get the DOT and stuff off of there...I forgot they were on there...the only thing i really remember sanding was the reverse lense on mine...lol

... take pictures as you go and write a tech article about it.


i dont think ne1 has done that yet.

good luck.

definately tint the euros, itll look a whole heck of a lot better.

If he doesn't, I prob will. I have to take pics of everything i do for my senior project, and that will be one thing for it, so pics will get taken...

yeah i used a 220 to get off the DOT crap then a 400 on the whole light and a 600, then 800

Is there some kind of tech article to candy some tail lights I really would like to candy my 99-02 tailights from my Sierra to take out the amber.

I should be gettin a used set of lights this week or early next, and when i redo mine, ill post more pics. Its all about the same for the NBS lights, OBS lights or even pre 88 lights. won't make any guarentees, but ill try to get soem pics up.
