Hey i have a 96 SE and i hate the amber section on the tail lights so like can i just spray paint that part red? I really like the 98+ ones but i don't want to pay that much for just tailights is their just a cheap alternative? anyone ever done this? thanks

yes you can spray paint the yellow red but i would suggest doing the whole tail with a stained glass spray paint(at your craft shop)and clear coat it, it looks a whole lot better...

[FlyinHighImport]

Hey i just finished this too! I used the Testors paint from Michaels (craft store). Its the Transparent Candy Apple Red. Its lighter from the stained glass one. But it turned out real nice. Its shiny so the clear coat was not even needed. Will post pics soon!

There is a way that you can put your tail lights in the oven at about 250 degrees for a few minutes at a time and then you can actually peel away the amber portion and replace it with red if you can find it a local home improvement store. im not sure exactly how its done but my friend did it to his prelude and if you are interested i can ask him exactly how its done. heres a pic. the white at the bottom used to be partly amber.

 

[jdmkraziestyles]

thats on a prelude though. is it the same for the 94-97 taillights on the integra?

or you can just use lense paint, you can find it at various import part sites

i dont know for sure, never done nor have i known anyone who has but id imagine it would be a similar process since theyre both hondas. but i dont know for sure.

The amber part doesn't come out. The way I've seen other people paint the amber corner is to mask the surrounding area. Then just spray the area with some stained glass type paint. Put on a couple of thin coats, then top with some sealant.

Hi,

I'm also thinking of spray paint my 95 RS oem tail lense red. I was wondring what's going to happen to reverse light? The reverse light should be white but with red lense paint on, it will still be white? red?

thanks.

yonjon, if you just spray them with the red stained glass paint, the reverse light will turn as red as your brake light. you need to put masking tape over the reverse light before spraying the whole thing. then just peel the tape off when youre done spraying

Edit: i just did this myself two days ago and it actually looks pretty good

 

[Heisdan]

ok guys can we have some pics?

 

[Heisdan]

and what color stain glass paint u used.. I'd like it to look factory...

 

[mtnboarder27]

[Heisdan]
