I am contemplating buying some all clear tails for my car, but I want to paint them white over red. How do I do it? Is it ok to paint the outside, or should I dissasemble them and paint the inside?

White over red? What car do you have?

98 EX, I dont mean paint over them in white. I mean like the 99-00 Civic Tails that are red on top and white on bottom, but I want the opposite, white on top, red on bottom.

You're gonna need to change bulb placement too and change wiring...I'm not sure if it's really worth it. IMO it'd be kinda gay looking. But I suppose you could do it with some sort of plastic spray paint and just tape off the part you wanna leave clear.

Swapping the bulbs is really no big deal, its the painting I'm a little worried about. If I paint the outside will it flake off? But how do I get to the inside to paint it?

It's not the bulbs. You'll have to reqire it.

If you're gonna paint it, it's gotta be the inside. You're gonna have to pop the taillights open. I would ask in the Civic forum for better instructions on that

It's fine to paint the outside. I've done two sets already and neither of them have faded.

I think it'd look better painted from the inside. But whatever

heres a picture of my tailights that have been painted... they were painted translucent black from the outside

Isn't that dangerous? :eh:
