Painting rear Clear Lights

Does anyone know how to paint the clear red taillights for a 96 Maxima? I have just purchased them and want to paint them.

Re: Painting rear Clear Lights

you press the nozzle down on the spray can, and move the can around back and forth 6-12" away from the tail light.

No, seriously. Is there a certain color or type of paint that I will need? Will I need to take the lights apart to paint them?

I have a 96 Max too and i wanna attempt this mod... I understand its not the same method as the 97+ taillights. I don't understand when ppl say they have to paint the "clears" w/ red paint... what clears are u guys talking about??

the easiest way to do this is to email davidL and have him do it for you...$190 with shipping, bulbs etc already in place. no hassle.
