Posted July 16, 201113 yr comment_361694 Here are a couple of pics of my tail light finishers (fascia) that I covered with 3M carbon fiber material. The finisheres were in really bad condition, all in one piece but looked like hammered crap, so instead of painting them I did this, I'm sure it will last a while 3M says 3 years exposed outdoors, we'll see. Tell me what you think. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/40224-tail-light-finisher-redo/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
July 16, 201113 yr comment_361698 It looks interesting. Very contemporary actually, which can be good or bad I guess. I kind of like it.Let us all know how it holds up over time.

July 17, 201113 yr comment_361717 ditto that, I kinda like it as well. I painted mine last fall trying different paints. Flat didnt look good, seni-gloss was too shiny. I ended up going with a matte finish with just a little sheen to it. Then I sanded down the chrome bezels and painted with a gloss black for a bit of contrast. I finished it off using the JDM amber colored turn signal lenses. I think gloss black bezels would look pretty sweet with the carbon look. Post a photo when you get it together.

July 17, 201113 yr Author comment_361726 Will do, I plan on painting the bezels a gloss black for some contrast. It'll be awhile for pics since I'm just getting everything ready for paint and hope to have it done by Sept.
