Re: how to paint tail lights (Nick_SI)
I picked up candy apple translucent paint from the hobby shop to do mine. Just cleaned em up, taped of the reverse light, painted them in a box where dust couldn't get on em. Let them dry a day and they looked really shiney red...
Not sure how long they will last though, I used three coats and it came out pretty dark red.
