painting taillights

painting taillights

well i really wanna paint my taillights. but the thing is, im afraid ill mess up and shit. and i dont really want to do something i dont really know how to do. and i suck at painting too.
well i want to redden out the taillight. and alota people used testors candy apple paint. and is this paint really good? does it fades or peel away after awhile? and if i painted my taillights, will it stand the outdoor heat?
someone holla at me with this.
thanks.

yeah, testors is good, i used it on mine, taped up everything and sprayed it 2 coats, let it dry, then spray whole tail light 1 time, then let it dry overnight, hasn't faded or anything yet, and had it for close to 2 months

hey thats cool. can i see some pics of your taillights?

yeah we used it and it worked good on prodigy's you can see it on his site at www.cardomain.com/id/prodigy3006 we used it on mine and didn't like it and had to scrape it off w/ a razor blade b/c for real it does not come off otherwise, it's good stuff

agreed...my tails are painted with it, as are Vamp's.

very nice Rolla. and if i painted the taillights, will it still reflect when i hit the brakes?
and where can i buy this testor paint at?

paint can be found at any hobby shop.

it still shows up bright red. ask anyone who saw my car at the Seneca meet...mine were painted then.

cool cool. thanks
