Yup...I was going to send them out to EvoDave to get them painted, but figured I'd try it myself first. I was originally going to take the light apart and paint the inside of the plastic cover, but I wasn't having any success so I decided to just paint the outside. They turned out pretty good for an amateur job - let me know what you think!

I think it looks great! Nicely done {thumbup} What paint did you use and where did you get it?

It's Testors Candy Apple Red Transparent paint...you can get it almost anywhere that sells plastic models (I got it at Wal Mart). It comes in a small spray can and costs like $4 I think

Model paint! Sweet that is whats on my tailights. I think it would have been even crazier if you would have tried matching the car color but the EVO7 lookin lights look really nice too.

Good look! Looks like a custom plate was obtained in between the before & after?

That turned out very well. Unless you look extremely close I bet you can't even tell that they were painted.
