Bobby, you did a flat back didn't you? It would look really nice to put some shine into it.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

I don't know if it's the camera or you put to much paint, but it looks like the paint's flat. But yea i think it would work, as long as your turning signals work your good. i used the same spray when i sprayed my tail lights but i only did the top side of the tail lights.
