All Red Tails.....sorta

[greggydrift]

Okay so I just spent today trying to sand off the paint but it was pretty caked on and it ruined the sandpaper I was using so I ran to home depot and got some lacquer thinner and used a sock to get it all off. Then I washed each taillight about 3-4 times using regular car-wash soap. Then I buffed it with Meguiars PlastX. Here's to hoping there's no cracking on my tails!

I'm going to paint them tomorrow again after I wash my car. I'll post pictures up of the finished product. I will be using Duplicolor Metalcast Anodized Red spray paint.

Finally done! Used Duplicolor Metallic Anodized Red and then clearcoated with Rust-o-leum. Look's like it came that way from factory, I love it. Only problem is, believe it or not, you can still see some yellow when the turn signals come on, but it's no biggie. I don't mind.

so... i guess im one of the only ones who kinda likes it?

It's a GOOD thing that you can still see yellow. I hate red turn signals... Put a red turn signal on and pump the brakes, and it's confusing as shit!

Haha my friend told me to put my emergency blinkers on and pump the brakes as I accelerate so it looks like flames LOL

before

after

why you dont re-sand them, and then go to nearest carpainter, and ask him to overspray them with tinted clearcoat? it cannot cost more than that vinyl from ebay or tint can...
