First, I found a set of all clear hatchback taillights (ebay) and after I got them I went to Wal-Mart in the model car section and got 3 cans of Testors transparent candy apple spray paint. I masked off the top part of the taillight and cleaned the part that I was going to be painting with alcohol, then I sprayed like 6 THIN coats of it on them (you might need more coats depends on how dark they come out), Let Each coat dry before you apply another coat, and that’s it. Let them dry and put them in and take the car out at night to check it they light up red or pink...If pink it means you need more coats of paint. Good Luck...

P.S You do not have to sand anything,or use clearcoat. just make sure the tail lights are very clean before you paint!

 

On my car:

got any ideas for something like that for a 91 hatch? i've been trying to find something custom for them but there's nothin but altezzas......

 

Wouldnt the weather get to it and make it fade?
How about adding a clear plastic covering to it, something like light savers, but for the rear.

I apologize for bringing up the old thread, but I looked on ALL the other threads regarding this topic, and couldn't find the answer.

Are you people (who have done this) painting the outside of the tailight, or opening the inside and painting it.

Just want to make sure as I am going to be doing this DIY this weekend. i would assume the outside, just double and triple checking :-P

Thanks.
