I just got my hands on some 95-96 all clear tail lights, and I was wondering what paint/process to use to make them into red/clears.

Send them to me. I'll paint them.


















Don't expect them returned.

have you searched? i think there are many threads on this but i believe you can use candy apple red, made by testors. you can paint the outside but you can also open them up after putting them in the oven and paint the inside.

and thanks for the quick reply everyone. One last question, what should I use to clean the lights before I do this.

but make sure the taillight is PERFECTLY dry before putting it back together, you dont want condensation

I got them off another org member, they were in the for sale forum. If you look often enough you should be able to find a pair, or a pair of red clears.

I'm actually doing mine right now, so I'll let you know how they look tomorow. I'm just painting the outside, then I'm going to clearcoat them when I'm done. How many coats do you plan on using? that's the one thing I'm not sure about

but i plan on painting them from the inside, i have my stock lights painted from the outside, all though they came out mint , they do not shine like regular lights

Good luck taking them apart. I painted mine on the outside. Check out pages 2-3 for pics and description of the process I used.
