taillights red (how to??)

Post by anangelsmx3 »

im trying to do inexpensive things to my car, and i saw that someone had painted their taillights all red, so that there wasnt any of that orange color on it.. so i was wondering how you do this.. do you paint the outside or inside or both? and what kind of paint do you use?? thanks : )

I think you use colored tint paint that you use on car models and stuff...

i just taped off the designs i wanted in them (circles or whatever) sanded down the the little letters at the bottom used 2-3 black caots (if you dont the light will shine thorough just red paint) then a few coats of basic laquer red paint.
