Red looks great (especially with the color schemes you have going). This is what I want to do to my WWP. I assume this is paint and not film? What kind/brand of spray do you recommend? Looks like it came out really clean and professional looking.

thanks guys and i cant paint in any color out there but have had no request so far
would love to try yellow/green but I am sure it will look funny and Illegal.

I found Testors paint to be the best so far. no runs quick dry and no bubbles,etc.
I am starting to have people think they are stock since they look very professional but I am far from a professional. leave that upto our bodyshop just alot of practice,patience. Enjoy

thank you guys
I am located in NJ, Pinebrook near parsippany.members are always welcome to P/M for details and instructions on sending there lights. I just did a few integra tail lights like mine to give it that JDM look over there amber.you can see my Integra in the background in first pictures.those are hard but Believe me there is no way to tell they are sprayed.

just got a p/m to do onefatsurfer's with his Whitewater pearl RX8 lights in red.

tonight I will take some night picture's and show the reverse and parked lights.
LOL no pink lights All Red.
I actually told some of the local members when I am on the highway, I like to see my rear turnsignal light up the Road Red when switching lanes.

would it be possible to overlay the reverse light with a vinyl, spray it, and then take the vinyl off?

I was just asked the same question to do a SRT8 jeep he wants them all smoked but would like to keep the reverse lights.
I can try it I have a stock rx8 LF tail light as a spare.
I have been charging locals $75 next day service
as for Illegal only with inspection there are a ton of cars on the road with red tails that similar. just look next time on the road guarantee you will see +5. now inspection may want to see white bulbs when reversing.
but hear this one My friend Cesar just picked up a 04 WB stock rx8 from a local dealer. he went to pass inspection and failed for aftermarket tail lights. well he never left location called manager over they popped his trunk and saw the D.O.T stamp idiots!
he may want me to do his in Blue I want to try a yellow or JDM green Come on people
