that guy above me is a definite ticket=) anyways my third brakelight might sound odd, but the tailight in my wing i used a oem 3rd brake light from an older tahoe. if you seperate the housing of your oem wing brake light you can use the oem shell out of your sc wing and the led tahoe brake light mounts inside it using factory mounting brackets. enjoy

Can you post the process you used with the duplicolor metal cast?

Did you paint the whole tail lamp? Or just the top portion first? Did you sand beofer, in the middle of coats or before clear coat?

Any help would be great.

I sprayed the top half first, the reason for that is that i wanted the top portion darker anyways. i thought sanding in between a couple of the coats would make it not as transparent to get a darker red. midway through i sprayed whole light so the reds will match except for the darkness of the top. The metalcast red is like the newer tailights you see around. a nice bright newer looking red. i tried the testors at first and it looked like the red already on the light which looks old. so i opt'd for the metalcast.
