I used VHT red metal tint paint and applied 3-4 light coats from the inside of the tailight housing. I was gonna get the "Vans" paint but I got this VHT stuff for $8 Canadian from the place I work so I use this instead. It matches pretty good and at night, the turn signals still flash pretty bright. I also spray painted the bulbs red as well. I'd like to thank Emax for coming up with this wicked idea, your the man!

looks nice and clean.....

 

i definitely want to do that! even if people say it is ricy

 

I've been wanting to do this since it was first done. Can you please post some night pics? This is the only thing that is stopping me. I have to seen them at night before I do it.

 

 

Nice tails

 

My was first "mod". Sorry don't have any night pics. Emax does though i think.

 

hey zoggfatha, did you remove the lights to do this or just spray em inside the trunk?

 

Just pulled the bulb out and sprayed in there w/ some Testors translucent candy apple red paint. I bought it at wall mart for like 3 bucks. I think it looks fine, but others have said the other type of paint matches better. PM me if you have any questions.

 

thanx dude..I have that paint....looks good to me...will do it myself as soon as it stops rainin over here

 

What do other people use and where do I get it. I've looked around walmart for the paint and never found it. What's the paint next too. I know this is a dumb question, but is it in with the other spray paints. Thanks a lot.

 

Emax and others used Van's paint, they ordered it on the internet i believe. The Testors is in the toy section at walmart with the scale models (model cars, etc). Make sure it's translucent candy apple red.

 

not sure where you're from dude but by me I picked up the paint in an art supply store named Pearl Arts....its in East Meadow, NY

 

how would you go about clearing out that peice so it looks like 2k-2k1?

 

I would've said to remove that orange lens and pop it out but I think the lens is made that way...

Only solution is to spray it, IMO

 

I miss my 2k tails But i do like the chrome on my 2k2's

 

You are welcome
