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.

 

I gotta test out my sig... Paint using Testors Candy Apple red... Billions of posts on how to get the best results...

 

That sig picture is HUUUUUGE!!! Nice max though.

 

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

 

soap and water is good

 

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

 

Where did you get the all clears?

 

i'm interested as well.. btw, nice black max... Hot stuff

 

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.

 

hey i just posted exact same thread, let me know any info u find , i bought the testors paint, but not sure if it will be better painted on inside or out

if u do them before me let me know how it turns out, i will do the same for u if i do it before u

 

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

 

i want to use as many coats that will come out of the lil testors paint 3oz cherry transparent can

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

keep me updated , how it looks , thanks

 

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.
