Who was it on this forum that painted their tail lights red? What kind of paint did you used to do it, that it was still see through? If you could, could you post a link to a pic of your car with them painted, cause i remember seeing a picture and I want to see if I like it or not. THANKS ALOT

I have blackout tail spray tint on mine. It looks much better than stock. Looks meaner.

you can see mine in the general forum in the thread Sakerocket1's motor swap is a success. from two weeks ago.
It's just translucent candy apple red testors paint.

Thats awesome that it looks good on a red nx, cause thats what i want to do on mine :)

If any of you guys remember Vegita's NX here it is after he painted his tailights red.... loooks awesome

Vegita's NX (http://us.f1.yahoofs.com/users/903893b7/bc/NX/Vegita%27s+NX.jpg?bc.kSW9A7S8.LqKN)

I have my taillights painted candy apple red for the past three monthy or so. All it cost is $20 for the spray. I got the spray locally here in New York. When I develop my pictures I'll show all of you.

whatup, i cant get any of the links to work. i have a white NX and want to do the red tail light thing too

There are other threads with more details. Just mask off the tails, get red candy apple testors translucent model paint and be careful. I clear coated mine as well. PM me if you want details, I did mine. you can see pics on my website in my signature.

Later.

The links don't work, because this thread is 2 years old, lol

Is this the right spray? The 3 oz candy apple red?

So no light removal is necessary? Just super tape up the back end of the car? And clear coat, will a regular dupont automotive clear coat in spray can work? Or should it be testors? What type of prep? Just clean surface?

The Spray cost about $3.00 with tax from Wal-Mart. It should take you about 20minutes max to do both lights. Then just let them Dry and your done. But make sure you have enough Goo on the inside of the Tail light still when you put them back in or they will leak.

If someone wants to host pics for me Ill post pics of them on the Car and a close up of them off the car. It looks way better then stock though

you can either e-mail them to me @ king_jayson@hotmail.com or just go to photobucket.com and you can upload them there.
