Best thing to do for all-red tails

[ExplodingCake]

Any of you guys have some great idea for the all-red tails?

I had been doing the all-red DIY using transparent spray paint and it turns out to be perfect BUT , after months of carwash the paint starts to peel off and it leaves an ugly taillight..

I think the best way is automotive paint.

However are there any more ideas than that?

Share me some of your tricks..

use the japanese lens paint that comes in that tiny can and costs $30. it's to much $$, but i used it on mine and it lasted about 7 years until it finally started to fade. it never peeled or chiped. i kept bringing it back to life, but it would just start fading again, so i buffed it off. later.

Ahh I see , I though those were equal to those krylon brand. Anyway , thanks for telling me that man..

Since my tails are so filled with peeling paint , is 1000 grit wet sand a good thing to do before paint process?

yes, wet sanding it all off with 1000g would be siutable. later.

All you need to do is clear it after you tint it

I did mine a few months ago and it was peeling a bit just the other week. I used the Krylon Glass Paint. Id just either redo every few months or buy buy some new tails. I liked the idea of the all-reds, but i miss my OEMs. Maybe even some red/clears

I'll give it to you that red/clears look better on some cars than others, but i think those 9091 red/clears are...kinda cool. They have a certain aggressiveness about them, IMO.

On a silver cb...i think youll be good
