Start out by taking a piece of vinyl or masking tape and cutting out a piece just smaller than the clear opening.

Then stick it on and spray the red spray starting at the bottom where the orange is.

Before it totally dry's, you should take off the sticker so you don't get any pealing.

Don't forget to let it dry for a few hours because it may seem ready yet it is still very tacky and will get finger prints and or dirt specs that will NEVER go away.

Has anyone used these RED paints on an IS300's tail lights? If so, can I see some pics of it? I want to spray the entire clear portion of the taillights, as opposed to some people who painted the top portion of it, and want to see how it looks, and how legal it is.

thx.

Do you have pics of them by chance?

And when smoked, did they smoke the entire clear part of the lens? Or did they leave the bottom part clear like this:



I think I prefer if the tails were all colored in red, but just wondering if it's ever been done, and if not, why not??
