Squav Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 (edited) Dulux .... On a more serious note. Create a template and find some normal paint or normal spray and spray it on as long as it stays on and isn't really covering your lights so that it dims them/changes colour you should be fine Edited July 28, 2008 by DJ-Squav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fekyo Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 I think you should try white tights over the lights.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karl Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 I think you should try white tights over the lights.... please dont do this!!!! all the chavs do it with black tights, and when some scruty kid come up with a lighter and set fire/melts them, it'll look worse, lol. either try, going to a body/paint shop who can mix rattle cans for you. ask them for a can of laqure, mixed with a tiny bit of white. or put tape on it, but invert it, so your actually covering up the bits you need to see the light, so your left with the red uncovered. paint them with normal white paint then peel of the lines you've put on. half tint them too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr shifter Posted August 3, 2008 Share Posted August 3, 2008 (edited) I done this in the 1980s to a cortina mk3. I used the pinstripe tape they used to put pinstripes along the sides of cars.It was absolutely fine as its external tape and comes in different widths.And if after a while you dont like it you can simply peel it off!! job done.

Me to, back when you could buy more colours in pinstripe than you could in paintcans Showing my age I guess lol As for complete tints its a bit more difficult.With my bikes I usually just remove the lenses and spray the inside of the light lense.not so easy on the escort as they seem to be glued up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
