hey man

A buddy of mine used candy apple red that you can get at any RC car store, the paint is designed for the lexan bodies for rc cars and it won't eat away the plastic.

peace

yeah go to your local Hobby stores where they sell RC car models and stuff

youll probably need about 2 cans... Testors is a good brand.. Tamiya as well

please do not mention altezza lights in this forum again,...people will just dogg you,...but in case you do not want too get new taillights or for the simple fact that you just cant afford them at the moment,..go to your local hobby shop,..get transperant candy apple red paint made by testors,..works great,..good luck
