You can order cand apple red from custommaxima i believe. Just email him. I wouldn't advise painting it though. I did that and it would wear cause of weather. Then i put a clear coat on to stop the fade and now they look dull. Whatever you want though.

Requin6 your thread was the one i was looking for , i got the idea to paint them from reading your thread, how long have you had them on for , any signs of fading?

95semax...it has almost been a month...the paint has cured nicely and no fading. they look better now then when i first painted them due to the curing. and they looked awesome when i first painted them! all in all i am liking the way they turned out. i just like another alternative to the red/clears since they arent readily available for us 95/96's.
