i saw some guy's page on cardomain and he painted the inside where the altezzas are chrome so it just left the two red circles it actually looked really good and i am considering it since i cant find red clears for my 95

I got a question regarding this process, should you prime them to help the paint stick to the plastic? Should you wetsand the whole light first with 2000 grit paper, sot at the paint sticks better? I think I will get mine painted at a paint shop to match my car.
Also anybody got some altezza's for sale?? I'm buying rigth away.

Just a quick update....I saw the pics of the white max that painted the inside portion that would normally be chrome, he painted it white it looked pretty good actually. but I decided to go another route. I painte the inside of the covers and the inside guts. I decided not to paint the exterior as it would chip and what not, and it look pretty sweet painted from the inside, having the clear plastic basically covering it makes it look nice. Already got asked twice today where I bought them. I'll get some pics up. My opinion, much much much more work than simply painting the outside, but the finished product can't be compared at all. Pics will show this, I'll see if I can get them today.
