is there any holes in that clear lens did water wash the color away?

If some one has a set out I can accelerate the UV exposure via a Xenon arc weatherometer, however this could also em-brittle the acrylic, as some one said this is an experiment. I also have access to a UV light source used in TLC with a specific output in the 290um range that does not have a heat cycle associated with it, as the weatherometer does. So we have some choices.

I've got some parking lens pieces if you're interested.....

I'll assume you're talking to me.

No there are no holes in the lense, it's exactly like normal lens only faded to nearly clear.

Pole120,

Parking lens are oddly shaped, but I'm willing to try it if you are!

The tail light sub-components are nearly flat and would be easier to accomadate, but maybe that's another experiment!

PM me and I send you the address to send them to me!

Well, i finally went out and got some of the Krylon paint suggested by B6T. I've got two sets of smoothies here and i've started my set of tails. One set of tails is damaged and is being used as my mule set.

I started off by just spraying the orange signal lense on one of the junk tails and i'm thuroughly impressed. One good coat and the signal and all signs of orange are gone, simply awesome.

So now that i've started the "good" set i've got some work ahead of me. I started off today by sanding off all the raised lettering on the tails that indicates wich sides the tails are for, "made in Japan", that kind of stuff, makes for a super-smooth look. My intensions over the next week are to finish the sanding and prep work on the to-be painted areas, sand, polish and tape the reverse light, spray the color and then have my buddy at the body-shop clear the whol assembly, should look totally stock wich is my ultaimate goal.

Sorry for the long post, just excited is all,

I wonder if a candy red would work good? It is transparent.
