Where at in the bay are you? We are trying to put together a board meting on the 28th of this month here in Sacramento. If you can make it up you are welcome to come up.
As for all red I like the amber turn. It sets you apart from all the other trucks out there.

did a 90's Saturn's tail lights all red a few years ago.Real easy to do, mask off the reverse lens and use a gray scotch bright pad. clean the lens then spray a couple coats of Testers Clear red over them. let them sit a few hours then use a automotive clear over that.

That looks good I've been wanting to do this just haven't got around to it. What did you use for paint?

[AOrolfo]

its Tamiya Color,, i got it from hobby town it says translucent red on the top of the cap

[AOrolfo]

then i got a duplicolor clear coat

[DroppedMitsu]

Thanks, that's what I figured I heard of using translucent hobby paint.

It Looks Really Good!

[AOrolfo]

Yeah it was super easy,, i just sprayed a coat dried it with a hair dryer,, did that like 3 times with the red n 3 times with the clear

[AOrolfo]

Yook prob like 45min

they make vht nightshades in red now as well. May be a bit easier to find than the translucent model paint. I had a hell of a time finding it to do my isuzu tails. Figures i'd have already done it when they came out with the red shade/.

[PowerRam348]

i did catch that, LSR. very... interesting way to do the exhaust. its like a stinger almost... kinda cool in its own way. nice job on the tail lights, looks really good.

[AOrolfo]
