Re: cherry blake tail lights
Sorry user with long name. I looked up Blake Cherry on Google, and didn't get anything. Wish I could be more helpful.

Re: cherry blake tail lights
Yeah they look nice. It almost looks like they took 03+ and smoothed them out...
Update
Well I looked for 1/2 hour and couldn't find anything that resembled those lights... Just ask the seller a question on eBay maybe he can tell you where he got'em???

Re: cherry blake tail lights
I'm thinking "blake cherry" should be "black cherry"

Re: cherry blake tail lights
They were probably custom made. But they kinda look like those black smoked in tail light covers except in cherry.

Re: cherry blake tail lights
All they are is a set of 99 or so tails that have been candied. Not a hard process at all and you can make any taillight look like that.

Sounds sweet. Can u explain the candying process to me or does it have to be done by a specialist?

Re: cherry blake tail lights
From what I've read, you take the lights out, sand them good (lots of sanding involved) to scuff the finish so the paint sticks. Then use Testors Candy Apple Red paint. Most use about 5 coats, wet sanding with 600 grit between coats then they sand the final coat of red again and then use about 3 coats of a good clear coat such as DuPont. Here are a few articles http://www.gmfullsize.com/forum/sear...earchid=549417

Re: cherry blake tail lights
If the cops in your are are a PITA, you might want to think about leaving a little square upen where the Reverse Lights are. Sorta how the 03's look.

Re: cherry blake tail lights
Yeah, I would definately recommend taping off the clear part if not for the cops, so you can see at night backing up!

Re: cherry blake tail lights
If I didn't have reverse lights, I'd have a dented ass truck....I guess I'm just good like that
