Hey there, I finally got some pictures of them today. Check it out. Got the girds on there a while ago, and did them up soild red about 2 weeks ago. Lots of clear on those babies. Was out in the snow and snapped a pic with my digital. And to apaise the person who personally thought his life was in danager, My reverse lights are white.

 

Nice job. They look great.

 

Looks like a job well done!!! Mucho props.....Im thinking of doing the same in the near future.

 

and I thought your standard ones looked great, man those are better!

 

Your so right, the grid ones actually look so much better.

 

huge improvement.........this is just an idea, but what if you paint the grids next to the reverse orange; and then leave the outer two grids red??

 

what are you gona do with the old ones...my friend wants to do that to his 89rs too...but the other day when he had it toed the damn guys broke both his tail lights..if there for sale ill buy them (make perfect late birthday present

 

Yeah I was gonna put them up on ebay. They are in perfect shape

 

let me know when ya do so i can bid

 

will do

 

If you dont mind.... can you tell me how you did that?? As in the procedure and products? I want to touch up my tail lights... i am gonna keep the yellow and red and white... i just want them to look like new what can be done?

 

How did you "do them red"? Does the signal still show through? THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD!

 

They look great

 

ReDnEk27 :: How did you "do them red"? Does the signal still show through? THAT LOOKS REALLY GOOD!

I used Testors Translucent Candy Apple red model paint. Just cleaned them and applied a few coats. Then I used some about 3 layers of clear high gloss and polished it off with some laqour finish. Yup the light comes trhough nice and bright.

 

ya those lights look great all red, good job. You mentioned what paint and clear you used etc, but do you just apply this to the outside of the lense??????

 

Yup

 

Looks great man.

 

mine look like they turned out darker.. how many coats of trans. did you put on? I put on @ least 5 coats. i wanted it to be flawless and even colored..

 

6 coats, 4 of clear

 

hmmmmm.. I dunno then... oh well, i don't care.

 

Did you paint the red lenses with the candy red, or just the yellow?

 

on mine, I painted the already red and the amber section. dunno about mike though.

 

i painted just the blinkers
