What kind of paint for my tailight mod?
I am going to start my tailight mod (camaroguy18's tailights) and I needed to know what type of paint I could use on them. I want to get paint that I can use in a spray gun, because I have one and it is begging to be used. No spraypaint please. I have done that before on other things, and the results are not all that great to me. All I need is black paint and some clear coat. So could someone tell me what I could use? Links if possible!

When you go into the paint shop, tell the guy behind the counter what you are doing. Those people are there to make sure you get the right stuff the first time. I would consider it a much better resource than internet info anyway. Good luck, and paint experience comes with time and trial and error. Other should people should buy a paint gun for their faded 24 year old paint jobs, and just try it.
