painted my tail lights - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Today I decided to paint my tail lights.

I wasn't very fond of the altezza look that the lights have from the factory.

I think it turned out pretty good and only costed about $15

After doing the tail lights I noticed the third light looked a little pink compared to them so I pulled it off and painted the triangle in it to match.

Here's the stuff I used.

Looks very nice from the pics. Wonder how well the turn signal shows through. (does it show up red now?)

It does. I had mine done in red professionally, and they look extremely better than the factory clears.

Yes it's red now, here in Florida the turn signals for the rear can be either amber or red.

Actually, that looks great. I have tails as turns and signals as reverse, or otherwise I would look seriously at that.
