i was woundering which kind of red spray can should i buy? i head it was candy apple red but my friend wasnt too sure. thanks alot

 

it is candy apple red you can buy it at walmart in the hobby section near the toys make sure it is transparent......

 

dont forget to clear coat it

 

I think it is Summit that sells tail light paint, or you can go to a craft store and get almost any color in a transparent paint

 

red stained glass window paint

 

i like the candyapple/clearcoat combo better..

 

yeah get the transparent red spray paint in the paint hobby aisle in walmart. It comes in a little mini spray can and is only $1-2 a can. I liked it better then the red stained glass by krylon. Just make sure that you prep the taillights with some rubbing alcohol and do list mists of the red on the lights and let them dry inbetween

 

i did it on my hatch. its just transparentred red hobby paint. Cheap and easy mod.

 

cool thanks guy

works good. and no clear is needed. not that it won't help, but not needed.

 

if you don't use clear the paint will fade very quickly. it happened to me when i used the krylon glass stuff with no clear.

 

hey cool guy, the **** is called Testor's Candy Apple Red transparent model paint. Comes in a miniature spray can. I can does two tails nicely. When you get sick of it, and you haven't clearcoated it... you can remove it with the help of Tilex. I recommend no clearcoat. Odds are you'll get sick of it after 2-3 years anyways, which is when it'll start to chip and discolor.

i've done 3 set never used a clear, and it had been fine.
i do repaint them about every other year, depending.

clear made the color darker then i liked it. so i don't used it.
