all red tails Look good on white SC
you shouldve painted the whole tail light not only the top it matches much better
. thats wut i did and only used 1 can on both, the can was from a hobby shop.

paint is testor's candy apple red transparent (#1605). i found it at hobby lobby and michael's. supposedly, other members even have seen it at wally world in the toy department.
either disassemble the lights or just mask off everything...3 light coats...DONE!
2 hours work max.
on the gs board, there is someone selling tint film, might want to try that if you are shy about spraying your car.

It's good to see the old school testor's trick making a come back. I totally forgot about doing that, and was stuck on wanting red with clear turn signals, but will be content with having all red tails.
Another piece of advice would be to spray clearcoat on as well after the tails have dried. The candy apple transparent tends to lose it's color and starts to wear off after all the carwashes and weather.
