I used testors candy apple red. i sanded the lights and cleaned them first, then sprayed about 3 coats of candy red, wetsanded the candy so it would look even and then shot with automotive grade clear. They turned out really good i think. I have 03 tails on my truck so i put them on my dads truck. Now i have another set of tails i'm trying to think of what to do with!

I did mine, got the paint from Wal-Mart, Testors transparent candy apple red, and then a can of clear from the model section. It cost me about 10 bucks and a couple hours work. I just need to buff them to make them shine more. But it's really easy to do.

As for the clear i got it at an auto paint store, i believe it runs about 25 a quart, maybe more. You will also need the activator. You can pick up testors clear, but its crap compared to this
