    Default Veil on taillights

    Pulled my taillights off today and veiled them.

    Used the foam brushes at first, then smoothed it out with some bristle brushes
    i use to paint water colors with. I had to tape off a small part of the taillight that was not part of the lens. I waited 15 minutes before i added a second coat, and i think it turned out ok.
    Can't wait to test them out!!
    Before:


    After:



    Thanks to category4 for the advise!

    Nice job. Mind taking another pic of the lights when you put them back on? They will blend in nicely with your already black car.

    LOL!

    Just the two you see in the first pic.... Veil Guy makes his product pretty easy.

    Shake jar. Drink a beer while you wait five minutes.

    Apply veil with foam brush. Drink second beer.

    Feather out with bristle brushes.

    Done.

    Veil Guy should add like one extra step so we can slip a third beer break in there....
