Painting taillights
Friday, August 05, 2005 1:20 PM
I have bought chrome altezzas a month ago and it's the ones with the black around them and my car is silver. It doesn't look bad but I think it will look better if it were silver too.

Is it possible to paint just around the taillights ? And what kind of paint would it require ?

I think auto paint from like auto zone. get the one that says silver m. that will match up better then just the silver.

and make sure you do a good job taping off what you don't want painted.

that could look good, but teh silver doesn't match at all......id get some automotive paint using your paint code and spray it with an hvlp spay gun instead of just spraypaint off the shelf

looks silver to me.......dunno, mabey its the lighting in the pic, mabey its my eyes, but it looks silver to me........i didn't use my paint code either, but i went into napa and asked for a pint of arrival blue metallic for a 2003 gm and she found the paint codes and everything, went int he back and mixed it up, then i took it to my brohters garage and he painted it up for me. i know not everyone has a spray gun or someoen skilled in automotive painting, but if you know someone, use your resourses
