Tail Lights 1982
Tail lights 1982 z/28. the black painted section that runs the full width of the lights is about 1/2 inch wide..
i pulled the lights apart to rebuild,pollish and repaint the reflecters,, i tried to paint the black section but the light shines through the black section and it looks crap.
What paint is not opaque,, POR 15 in black maybe. what did the factory use. No i dont want poxy black tail lights 90,s style. i want the factory look but better. No i dont want to use that poxy VHT smoke look.

Re: Tail Lights 1982
Try SEM Trim Black. It comes in a spray can and should cover enough to block out the light

Re: Tail Lights 1982
I wish i was in America where all the parts are.. we dont see these cars here anymore and there is 1 or 2 on club nights once a month. There used to be a few in Pro Stock 20 years ago and were the Aussie champions.
