Any help or oither things i need to know is appreciated.
Thanks

Since it shows that you've read/researched at least a little bit, I'm going to help you out.
This will not give you red/clears. How is spraying on a CLEAR paint going to change the color of the amber? You're either going to have to fork over a couple hundred dollars to get some, or diy using some altezzas. Read a little bit more into it. I'm sorry to ruin people's fun, but he is new.

lol i feel bad for newbies... i was one not too long ago. think -- if you spray CLEAR enamel over an AMBER colored lens, its not going to make the amber clear. us '95-'96 maxima owners got shafted for taillights

Do'oh! I didnt even soak in that he was trying to clear out stock lights. I guess sanding would be good then, cept you would have to sand all the way through the amber.
Before I get flamed for someone not picking up on it. Yes I was being sarcastic.

Yeah there was a thread about this a while back, puttin on clear enamel will give you clear clear tailights....like magic! Its just gonna make the amber glossier...being a fellow 95/96er, Id go with just tinting the reverse and turn signal lens...its the cheapest and easiest tail light mod for us.
