    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

    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.
