finally gonna get my 01 tails for my car and i want to red out the amber ..what kind of paint should I use and where to get? also after a while is it going to fade?

 

Lexism,

You've been around long enough to know to search first.... how about using keywords ' paint taillight' and pointing at the GS forum.

 

You'd get a bunch of good hits, no waiting

already read those..but wanted to know if there were any new info?


ok then where can I get japanese brake and taillamp spray? anyone? thanks

 

lok on ebay or go to a local import shop

 

Oh, and if you choose to do the spray method....

I have the smoke spray on my front lenses and it hasn't faded over two years. Can do a quick google for a bunch of spots that sell similar stuff

Here's the brand I used, can't remember where I bought it.



I'd personally suggest taking the lenses off the car when spraying - I shot my sidemarkers on the car and had to clay a lot of overspray off even though I masked the area off carefully.

 

thanks dave you have all the answers

 

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...........................here's a thought.....................






Contact Tranman and for $15, you get two sets of red taillight strips shipped to your door...no overspray worries and it takes seconds for these results:

 

but its tint right? cuz I already have tint on my lights.... dont look to nice after a while you get bubbles and stuff ...or is it something else

 

i was thinking, if you paint the amber, is it better to paint the whole taillight, so that everything is nice and even?

 

well i got the paint...I went to autobacs they had the same kind as dave but in red......


here goes nothing!
