just cover it w/ duck tape. There is a groove around the reversel light so u can then use a razor blade to cut out around it. Peel off the outside and the reverse light is perfectly covered.

The tails look good MoReace. Sometimes it's hard to paint even, but you did a good job.

I painted the whole lens w/ Testors transparent candy apple red spray paint. I might just have used more coats. it is personal preference. I used testors glossy coat finish as well

i ended up painting mine too
will post some pics...

the testors red goes on clear fairly easy, since its really light paint.

the damned clearcoat dripped in 2 spots.. its really thick gooky junk. the drips are very light, and can only be seen if u stick your head 1 inch from my lights...

-Phil

-Thx for the help painting!
