6-ers i just purchased these clear tail lights to place on my car (4dr) inplace of the stock lights...(didn't like the yellow)

I just wanted some opinions on how i should spray them?
Keep in mind my car is dark green...

also keep in mind that i edited the pics to help you choose....Im no artist, but you get the IDEA

Number 1: Spray top part cherry apple red
Number 2: Smoked

none, instead spraying get some transparent red vinyl. it can handle any condition weather and last for a long time. also it can be remove easily.

im lazy to pm back, plus other people mind need the info also.

you can go to a art supply or any art store, they should have some transparent red vinyl for very cheap prices. or heres a link on ebay who sells it. i just bought some, the red of the transparent and looks nice, its a shinny red, cherry red or apple red, it matches the same red for my couple taillights.

i have both red and smoke transparent vinyl, i will try it out on my taillight soon and maybe take some pics of it. here are some examples i took from other forum who done smoke transparent vinyl, but red is basically the same.

unlike painting, you can remove the vinyl easily, you should try the vinyl first before trying to paint it.

I'm gonna buy some of the red transparent vinyl on ebay. I also have a set of the Civic 4 door clear taillights. Hopefully they will look tight!
