    Hmmm, the black on the white Ironman looks excellent. I don't know about black on black though, it might look weird, or it might just look like nothing, which would be fine. I was thinking of spraying them the same color as the cladding. I really want to find a second pair to experiment with.

    Yeah, I saw that look a while ago and I think it's tailor made for an Ironman.
    It just contrasts perfectly, especially with black wheels. I'm still wanting clear lenses though just for the legality paranoia.
    If I had an Ebony, I think I would DEFINITELY do it IF I couldn't find clear lenses. I don't think the coppers would even be able to notice anything, especially if you just took your bulbs out.

    Yeah, I would definitely do this, I just need to buy a spare set of side markers, incase I mess something up, or if I do get in trouble and need to go back to the stock amber lenses.

    My thinking was just to use fine grit sandpaper and sand the outside of the markers, and then just spray them black or gray to match the cladding. If I went black, it would probably hardly be noticable to the bronze, but gray might make them stand out more....

    So, anyone have a spare set of stock side makers? I shudder to think what a new set from Merlin would cost.

    Is there a special paint for this? I love that IronMan with the black markers.

    the stuff is called 'Niteshadez' i was going to do this last year, but when i went to buy the stuff i was told there was a fire at the factory or something like that so it was about as easy to find as a VX roof rack.. might be easier now though

    that stuff was recommended by pbkid awhile back, i know i found it before but it was backordered something like 3 months.. in another post in this thread cyrk mentioned stuff with the same name, different spelling called "nightshade" (different product all together.. but they do the same thing)
