Everyone that has painted there talon taillights red on top where the amber color is, what brand is the red translucent paint and where did you get it? Also do you just lightly sand the top of the taillights and spray them?

I think the company that makes Nightshades makes a red translucent paint also. When I nightshaded my side markers I just sanded a little, cleaned them, did a couple coats of the paint, and then a couple coats of clear coat. Turned out pretty nice IMO.

Maybe if you brought them in to a paint place, you could get the top layer of a candy paint over it (red candy). Top coats of a candy paint job are translucent so it could possibly work. Not sure if a red would turn out good over an amber bottom. Maybe if you could do enough coats, it could work.
Just an idea that came to me while reading it.

i painted my orange tops, and then blended it with the bottom, its entirely red. I used the candy apple red and then got it sprayed with a tinted clear (friend does automotive paint)
its fuckin sick!
