Okay, I'm looking for a clear red stickey type of film to go over the amber on my tails. The only problem is I CAN'T FIND IT ANYWHERE!!!

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

CivicOverdose

TERZRIDE

Hi Dave... BTW I'm Terry.. or did you mean for Sam to paint them for me?

CivicOD> Nah.. if I gotta spen some bread, then I'll just get the Altezza's. I tried a few craft stores in Brampton today, but had not much luck. :cry:

check the tint shops..
there's all kinds of colors out these days and you won't need much so they'll probably cut you a good deal....
problem tho will be applying it to the outside of the lens, unless you don't mind trying to open them up :working:

re: paints..

VHT metal tint red - found at most car stores like performance improvements and karbelt.

or Tamiya Candy Apple Red..
from what i hear it's transparent, or has a version that is anyway..

Crown Stainglass Paint, get the red colour, i have it done to my car, D-Type has done it to his, you can get a can at walmart for like $5 and it looks good, i wouldn't bother with a film to put on, painting is much easier and more permanent...... any more questions ask either me or d-type or someone who's done it

If you've already tried aftermarket stores, then I recommend you visit a customs shop, I'm sure they can point you in the right direction.

But IMO, paint them

Everyone?

Go to a sign shop and ask for some vynal sticker......use a hairdryer to make it soft and streachable. If you get board of it, or it doesn't let enough light through to your liking, you can always peel it off.

Apple juice for me thanks.

Is this what you want your tails too look like?

Mintgecko-> It's hard to tell from that angle... basically the all-red look will work in the mean time... (until I can score a great deal on "craptezza's" he he he.

Very simple

Here's the secret, don't tell!! LOL!

The secret to making this stick is the wipe the tail lights with a damp rag of laquer thinner which you can purchase at crappy tire. Don't keep wiping back and forth, just one wipe accross because it you keep it there too long this **** eats plastic up.

Also at crappy tire at the paint section you will find the red krylon transperent spray, put about 2 coats of that on or whatever it takes to hid the orange.

And buy clear coat and go crazy, put on 4-5 coats, light sand, then put as many coats as you want sanding in between, I suggest one can of clear for both lights.

take your time and whatever you do don't run the paint or else it is visible when the lights are pressed, the clear coat you can always sand down.

An the good thing is you can buff it up with some wax after and get a nice shine out of it.

and of course you would mask everything off.

If I was going to go the paint route I would take the lights off the car and paint it far far away.
