Bora Bora 0 Posted November 8, 2004 After much thought I am going to tackle spraying the orange sections of my lights red.Will I need brighter bulbs once they have been painted? Thinking of just using the Foliatec spray. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hans G60.nl 0 Posted November 12, 2004 if you use about 3 thin layers you won't need other bulbs. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chrishill 0 Posted January 31, 2005 black/red look really nice mate, looks like a good finish on them both too! well done! Whichever set you dont keep, stick on ebay - they've got for a fortune in the past. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bora Bora 0 Posted February 1, 2005 Give the lights a good clean.Masked off the area not to be painted.Warmed up the aerosol in boiling water and give them 4 coats of paint.Allowing each coat to fully dry before applying next coat. The paint is specifically for tinting lights but says not road legal on the tin! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gradeAfailure 0 Posted February 2, 2005 All reds - think that's how I'm doing the Passat's lights (after much nagging from PhilK!) Did you stripe the indicators when you did them red? Or just completely cover them, and if so, do the indicators/reverse lights still show their proper colours (albeit witha redddish tinge!)? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
