It's held on with two screws...take those out and it should pop right off (might be some double sided tape under it, so just pry it off). Then just tape off the light portion of it and sand the rest of it. Prime it. Then paint it. Same steps as any other paint job

It would be the same steps yes. Smoking it wouldn't require primer though. Just remember not to paint over the lights so you still keep it legal with your 3rd brake light :)

yeah, dont mess with the lens of your third brake light, you'll have a hell of a time getting it saftied if its noticably been tampered with

Either way I wouldn't recommend painting over your 3rd brake light. Regardless of inspections, the cops can still pull you over for that.
I had assumed the initial post was about painting the surround of the light to be body colored to that it blends in well. If you're planning on painting the entire thing, I wouldn't recommend it to avoid problems with the cops. But if you are dead set on doing it, then you might as well just remove it all together and not paint it.

That sounds like either a special type of tint, or a watered down paint. If you paint your light you will not be able to see through it.
Out of curiosity...what color was this truck? was it black? and had black tails? if so thats VHT nightshade

Yo sisk... I was searching in the forums for info about VHT nightshade... How much is it? And anyone use it? What kinda advice you all offer?
