Red out taillights

I'm interested in spraying my taillights red, since aftermarket tails are quite expensive.

Does anyone know of any shops around south florida that can do them professionally?

I'd love to take a stab at them myself, but i dont want to mess up my only set of taillights...

Unless of course anyone is selling some Tom's for cheap

A reputable shop is going to charge you more than the price of like-new used tails. I think pride of doing them yourself is very valuable. Trust me, once you sand down your stock tails before spraying them, your confidence will boost up since you're now committed to finishing the project. The first time I ever painted tails was on this platform; a couple of months later, I sold them to another fellow 86'er who loved them for $200, which almost paid for my Spec-D

My tails and sidemarkers are currently getting shipped to Cali to a vendor I came across on here. Sad I had to ship them across the USA to get red/tint and body color sprayed, but the price was still cheaper than aftermarket lights and (more importantly) I know I'm not going to mess them up trying to do it myself.
