has anyone done it yet? i bought all the paint, sand paper, and what not, then took the lights out, and couldn't figure out how to get the lens off..anyone know how?

 

yeah dude, there are 3 tech articles on how to do this.
also, search candy tails or tint tails or something like that and you will get a million posts on this.

baking your taillights is the way to go.

 

3 tech articles for the 1st gen not the 2nd gen

 

just tape it all up
is their really a need to remove the cover?

 

Just pop out the lights...tape them off...and paint away!

 

Nice ****...and I do mean the xB. Is that vinyl or paint?

 

Why thanks you! LOL...they're painted.

 

did you just paint the outside of the lights? i popped off the lights, but it looks like the lens is sealed to the rest of it, so i cant get underneath...hmm..

 

How did you paint the tail lights? That looks hot!!!

 

We painted the out side of the lights. No need to take apart the lens.

 

wont it chip off after a little while?

 

What kind of paint did you use?

 

It shouldn't chip...I have friends who have their tails tinted for the past 3 yrs and no chipping.
As far as paint I believe it's House of Kolors Kandy Black...but I will have to check with Nish...cuz he painted them.

 

Good Old NiSH!!!! I had my tails from him and there no way there going to chip unless you drive on the freeway in rev all the time.. ITs done with reg paint and not a spray can..

 

looks good .
