Big thanks to Rich for sending me the original taillights off of #8336
Today, I got my can of the correct SEM charcoal (the local paint store had to get a can from Salem, OR) and started painting parts.
It took a couple hours to sand, hand buff, mask, scuff the black, and paint one taillight. Took another hour to just sand the mirrors. I also painted one taillight housing. It was said that white reflected better, so I painted the silver white. But there wasnt much difference in brightness when I compared the white one to another housing I restored with silver metallic paint.
Time for some pics

Rich also sent me one of his extra new lenses(had a broken corner. The new is on the left, and the restored on the right. Silver housing is on the left and white is on the right.)
