I'm trying to do this project. but I dont want to use the wrong color.

my camaro is black.

Well white is a lot easier to match, as is black. You can get gloss black and never really notice a difference.

The different reds, blues, silvers, or yellow would be harder.

Yea, mine from AAC are tinted, but doesn't really dim down that light effect. I could light up a dark alley with my LED halos and side markers alone. If someone really wanted to dim it down, one, why would you want that? Two, you'd need a very dark tint.

Very nice DIY by the way. They look just as good as the ones you'd buy somewhere else and I don't think anyone really has to be too electrically/mechanically talented to accomplish this.

I get my factory color paint from these guys. Just enter your paint code.

Automotivetouchup.com

I have bought 3 cans so far to date from them. All match well.

Also, did the strips come with the 3M tape on them? or did you have to add that yourself?

The led strips did not. Autozone has 3M tape for 6 bucks a roll

Will I need resistors? I have a LT and plan to use dual filament for turn signals.
