Translucent Spray Paint?

I had a friend that had a can of translucent paint and sprayed my tails with it to make them all red. My friend got it at a store here locally but they do not carry it any more. My sister was wanting to do the same thing to her Accord but we can not find the paint anywhere. I Wanted to know if anyone knew of a place to find it at because it really looks good on my car. She is in to hooking her ride up also. Thanks

I got mine at Pep Boys for 3 bucks. Candy Apple Red Translucent paint. Takes about 4 to 5 coats to match the factory red.

Clears are everywhere. Try www.nopi.com for starters.

If you paint the inside of the lens you get the line around the perimeter where the paint didn't get to. If you paint the outside you don't get a line but you have a higher risk of it fading due to the exposure to the elements.
