If I painted the tails I would have to worry about the paint chipping off when I washed the ride. So I think the easiest route would be have them tinted at a shop. Thanks for the input. I will check with my boy he works at a shop in Chi-town to see if he could get some the specs of the 06' tails. lates.. it time to go out and get shitty and pick up some freshman from the dorms.
