what paint exactly did you use? where did you get it from?

I was thinking about doing this, I don't dig yellow on red, at all.

I used the Testors candy apple red transparent spray paint. $2.99+ tax at Michael's. I took off the tail light, taped it off (except the outer amber corner) and I sprayed a light coat on. Let it dry and reinstalled. It is red on the outside but when the blinker is on, it is yellow at each blink.

I didn't clear coat them. I first wanted to see if I liked them all red. I wicked do.

The bulb is clear. It does blink kinda amber, kinda red. I will do another coat next week and probably clear coat it then too. I really don't care what color it blinks, I am just happy it is red on the outside >>

BLINKYxMUNKEY, I have been looking forward to changing my sig all day >>

Best tail-light mod I have seen Batman. Finished product looks completely stock. Well done.

I like smoking more than redding. Mine came out pretty much just how I wanted them. Just a lil darker than stock, but still noticeable.
