pure red tail lights for gen 3

[slamdcam92]

anyone know where I can get the pure red tails for the gen 3 camry?

they weren't made. what people have done was buy the red/clear or the fully clear ones and paint them with the candy apple red paint. i think the brand Testor's makes it. It's transparent and a few members have actually done it and made it look good.

I never bought clear/red ones.. These are oem, also I did use the candy apple red from testors, but with actual car clear coat, buffed and wet sanded....

I bought the transparent paint to do that, and just ended up painting bulbs for the interior of mine instead, what a waste of 5 bucks. I wish I could have done it like milt did though.

Venom 5 you post too much 1750 posts after about <6 months you're ridiculous

[Venom_5]

okay...on oem tail lights......do you paint the inside or outside of the lights??? and do you still have to wet-sand them? oh yeah, and did u paint the center piece or buy it?

dont use OEM lights ... they wont come out well

get all-clears if youre sloppy and want to just spray across ... or get red/clears if you have patience ... if you need me to find you the ebay link, i will - theyre about $100 shipped

Outside, yes to the wetsand (if you want a great finish), and my car came with the center piece.

What you are doing is sanding down the orange peel and imperfections of the clear coat.... after the actual painting.... here, refer to this write up.
