DIY - All Red Taillights

[blueapplesoda]

i did mine with some not so expensive LIMCO 2 part urethane clear coat (for t3h uber shines) after the testors, and i sprayed it with that 20$ harbor freight hvlp gun. Its been a year and it still looks like its wet from spraying, and i didnt even wetsand polish wax blah. followd directions and the flow was perfect, and It still looks tities and it looks like itll be like that for a long time.

Eurospeed what brand clear did you use and did you apply it with an hvlp?

[McCoolidge]

I used Testor's spray tint on my front sidemarkers and it turned out great, you cant see them in the bumper strip but they light up perfectly amber when the turn signal is on.

i did mines all red before on many other cars in the pass and my 86 e30 project but now thinking of smoking them since im going for a black and red look but everytime i see some one use the spray tint it comes out like crap maybe the the brand i guess vht. but never heard of anyone using the testors

Anyone ever use http://www.testors.com/catalog_item.asp?itemNbr=1019
to do smoked tails????

I have enough skills to do the job but don't really have the skills with painting to trust myself to do it that well.

[Jand3rson]

If you pay for someone else to do it then you have no skills. All it takes is a little patience and know-how.

Ummmm, that's kind of how the world works. If you don't have the skills, know-how or patience to do a job yourself, you have someone else do it for you.

Painting tail lights is seriously not that hard. If you pay for someone else to do it then you have no skills. All it takes is a little patience and know-how.

It definately looks like it

Josh, are you really that good at "rubbing" things?

Dude, if Josh charges you a dollar an hour, it will STILL be $200!

Luke

Not quite that much, but probably in the neighborhood of AT LEAST $100 to do another set like mine. I'm probably not ever going to do another set unless they're for myself.

But nothing is beyond convincing. If anything, it would not be until spring when the weather gets warm for proper painting temps.

[Mastrcruse]

Haha.. I will definately get springs first. I think he did a great job and a job that I could probably not do half as good.

[StereoInstaller1]

You tell me when and how much. If not too much I will send em too you if you are willing to do them. I have the paint but if you want to I will pay for the serivice.
