Default anyone local (OC,LA) want to outline the white strip of their LED tails?

i got 3oz bottle of "Testors candy apply red transparent spray"

i read on a thread that this bottle is good for 3-4 pairs of LED taillights. if youre local and want to do this mod feel free to contact me. i will only need enough to do my tails. so if anyone else wants to do it too im gonna have left overs.
Free of charge or u can come by and do my LEDs too =)

keep the bottle for yourself OP as when they fade/chip you will have it for touch ups. i used to do my ex-fiance's honda (well it was ours actually) and got tired of redoing them every 6 months or so. they looked good IMHO when they were fresh though

i figured u were but you really might need it.
i stupidly threw my can away after doing them thinking they would hold that bright red forever but they really started to fade after like 6 months and i had to go buy another can. next after redoing them the gf scratched them and i had to redo them yet again.....did them like a year l8r and this time clear coated them which made them last a little while longer, atleast till i had the time to have her total the car

yeah she's ok.....this was like 8 years ago and we have LONG been parted ways.

i mean i sprayed them with the tint, let them dry, then sprayed them with clear coat.

i looked for pics earlier, found pics of the car as im working on them but not after i did the tails

the first pic was right before i started




i had the bumper off as i was putting a new greddy on





and the tsunami bumper






we were gonna put a H22A automatic in it (since she couldnt drive a stick) and turbo it but then she totaled it....

anyways, sorry i stray off topics all the time

i actually LOVED that car....i started to get rid of my single cam turbo (it had so much in it, it would beat most DOHC turbos) to buy her another one to keep this one. it was clean,had a nice system,nice exhaust and i personally loved the color. it was more of our "show" car than my constantly gutted 93 hatch next to it... i ended up transforming the black turbo into a sohc NA motor when BISI got into the limelight and after i shot a rod out the block :

(before totalling it and selling it, i had installed a integra dash WITH EVERY feature working, a spoon integra cluster,working on the door panels and it had the JDM interior from the rear seats back)







i miss that green hatch although not as much as i miss my 5 delsols.my last one im lucky to have walked away from alive in










SORRY OP way off topic
