Ford Crown Victoria Though they were what most people drove in the 1950s and 1960s, full-size cars like the Ford Crown Victoria are now an anomaly. But Ford's biggest sedan still offers significant virtues, including affordable V8 performance and room for six people. Today, the Crown Victoria's passenger and cargo volumes compare favorably against fashionable SUVs.

Default On the way to all black

So today I took one step closer to all black on the Vic. The taillights came off and into the paintbooth(my backyard) they went.
Roughed them up and sprayed 2 coats of nightshades and a few coats of clear. I messed up the last coat of clear, see if I can fix it tomorrow.
Will be doing the 4-bulb conversion to overcome the tint at night in the coming weeks.
The pics below are the progression from scuffed to 1 then 2 coats of Nightshades and the reverse lights.
