Once you've painted the tail lights clear red and orange do you paint on top of that the silver paint or do you paint the silver paint onto the back of the car where the lenses attach??
Has anyone done a 'how to do' on lowering cars for beginners??
Thanks

paint the car silver where lenses will attach too
every car is different, so every lowering job is different
cut and reposition things... etc..

Here's what will help us, tell us which car you are lowereing, and maybe someone on here has previouly lowered it, and is willing to share, as for the lights, if you paint the back of the lenses silver, you won't get the detail out of the "bezel"

I also recommend using bare metal foil instead of painting it silver. You'll see a real difference when you shine a light at it, especially for photos.

Thanks for the help guys.
The car that I will want to lower is the Tamiya Nissan Skyline GTR V-Spec.

If you look at the real tail light closely, you find the part that lights up, and the part that reflects. After painting clear red, you can apply baremetal on the backside of the clear part, to differentiate those
