yep just like 1phatcx said..they're sprayed red with clear red candy paint. You can get it at model and hobby shops. I've done it to afew cars here, looks pretty nice if you don't just glob it on.

Re: red tails

Love how he blurred the license plate in the first pic but didn't bother in the second

But they look a lot better painted than red. And who even needs reverse lights.

Oh yeah ..I didn't notice before that he didn't mask off the reverse lights..hmm that's kinda illegal, lol. Most people are smart enough to mask off the reverse lights.

My guess would be is when he had is car painted he had them mix red W/Clearcoat then sprayed the tails. I mixed black in the clear coat and tinted my taillights...

the center piece is definantly stock, but in the outer pieces you can just barely make out that red oval shape that you see in the altezza clear picture. sounds like he really did spray-tint them. with what, though?
