Arrow Anybody have On their RX8 stock sidemarkers a smoked overlay?

it seems like a cheaper escape from the yellow while they are not in use...just blacking them out...instead of spending the 80$ to get clear ones...anyone already do it this way out there?

yeah theres a bunch of people, some spay them. Mine have the vinyl overlays. best decision i ever made. only thing is from certain angles they look kinda brown. with the spray you can get it just the right shade.

Did you guys spray them yourselves? If so, what did you use?

I did the same as pup. Mine are hanging up drying waiting to be clear coated. I did 5 coats but I did VERY LIGHT coats. I was worried about drips/runs.

Take care,

Brian

If you have an hobby store near by, you can get an small can of dark shade. That is what I used to tint (smoke) my side markers....Good luck!
