Cause I didn't want to risk touching them or dropping them after I painted, I have no patience
I will try to wet sand them tomorrow to get the orange peel look off, even though it's not really noticeable in real life.

Thanks, it's the cheap way to get rid of the amber
Yeah blacked out tails look cheap but it sometimes works on white cars. I figured i'd try to match the sport design badges and the color the of the car more with a light smoke.
