Redded Out Talon Tails

[InfamousEclipse]

the fact that you loose the gloss... makes it a no go for my 93 Talon

Ok I took another pic without a flash...but of course no flash = blurry picture. But you get the idea... also a comparison pic if you think it still looks orange

I really like how those look, but is there a way to make it nice and glossy? If so, what is it?

Thanks, Phya

I used to have redded out lights. I found the testors transparent red gave me the best, glossiest, brightest red out of the three i tried. The testors stuff looked like a brand new oem taillight. Every other one made them look darker. I don't have any pics of the testor paint but here is some of the stained glass paint i bought at micheals. I liked it at first but a pristine set of stock lights look better imo. Plus they don't scratch like the paint did. Here is a poor quality pic of the stained glass paint

looks good man! i kinda did the same thing. i cut out 4 rectangles, and put 2 on each tail light. then painted over them with black. i also did the center peice. but before i did the center i shaved off talon.

Looking good guys, mine is still holding up to the weather. It's been through summer, and some cold/rainy days and still looks the same.

Is it possible to remove the "smoked tails" paint off? If so how do you do it?

[iowaboostin]

Most likely depends on how it was done. The VHT Nite Shades I hear is almost impossible to get back to normal.

 

['96_Talon_TSi]

Probably the only way to get it off would be to sand it off.

 

[fastezz]

yea I was thining I would have to sand it, maybe paint thinner, aircraft remover?

PS I have 1990 talon blacked out tails if anyone wants to trade for stock ones.

woops, now I find the original thread...ah well
Anyway, it's been quite a few months now, through wind/rain/snow/ice/salt and they look absolutely flawless still.

Looks great guys. Now will people start painting their talon lights and stop converting their talon into a talipse already?? geeze. :thumbdown

 

[jaxon23]

looks really good

 

[BacknBlack92ESi]

I might be weired but I really like the amber on the Talon tails. But I might try this to see if it grows on me.

 

[chico904]

I like it

 

[paranoidTSi]

I actually like it better when the center is matched with the car color or at least close (like mine)....and have the talon letters black.

Not too great of a shot but you get the idea.

I too am sick of people ruining the perfect back end of a talon to get a eclipse backend for altezzas and body kits..I think the talon back end looks better than the eclipse, but the eclipse 2gb front end looks better than both talon front ends.

I guess im the only one that doesnt like it. It looks good on 1g's and on w1kk3d's car. But not on a black 2g, It makes the lights look big and stand out too much IMO

 

[BoostInsideTSi]

a few pics of my tails.. never had a fuss from police with these... changing to an eclipse turbo wing soon too. wings gotta go

trust me, your not the only one. i like them better with the orange and i know a few other people who would agree with that
