Candied my stock taillights today (02 Silverado Z71)

I agree. They look fantastic!
I actually think any of those CLEAR style taillights are the best ones to "candy" since the transparent Candy Apple paint really gets to work as it is designed. Even though I like mine a lot, I think if I can find some cheapo clear ones, I'll do a set and see how they turn out.

I was thinking the same thing tonight. I could always stick these in my other truck. They look awefully good though.

When I get some time, I am going to go talk to a friend that can custom mix any paint I want in a spray can. I am going to see what he can come up with similar to the testors.
I also want a slightly different shade or metalic content so I can ghost an imagine onto the lense. Testors has one that is a little more orange (transparent hotrod red), and they have a transparent black. I considered these, but decided for my first attempt just to keep it simple.

I'm going to candy mine with the red vht. After I get it smooth I'm having my buddy that owns a body shop spray some good clear on them so they look wet. I'll post some pics when finished. Good job o.p.
