Materials:
Red Metalcast by duplicolor spray paint
Flat head screwdriver
Masking tape
Oven/Heat gun
1/2" socket and ratchet
1. First take off the tail lights off. Pop the trunk, remove that cover area behind your tails. There are 3 1/2 bolts. Then Remove the 3 bolts and light bulbs.
2. Once you do that take your tails give them a clean with a wet paper towel then dry them
3. Now what you wanna do is preheat your oven to 250 degrees. Then once heated, lay a wet towel (fabric kitchen towel not a paper towel!!!) on the rack. Then place your tails for 5min and only 5 min. (Caution over heating WILL melt your tails. Check up on them)
4. After 5 min, you get screwdriver, and pry them apart at the TABS of the tails, then you could pry all around. Be sure not to rush or you could crack them. Just take your time prying them apart all around. There will be some rubber gunk sealant. So it might be tricky, but just cut them apart with a blade. Remember its a must to be careful because you can crack your tails. Just be patient and work it out.
5. Then once apart, mask with masking tape the parts of the INNER taillight lense that you dont want to paint. So your just gonna leave the white area open to paint. They should look like this when apart.
6. Then grab your Red Metalcast and spray 4-5 coats but not too much so it doesn't drip or run. Have a 5 min window for each coat. Do not touch to see if dry. Wait an hour before reinstall
7. Then reattach the taillight lense to the housing once again but no need to heat. Just be careful not to rush things. You might need some muscle to push to get the tabs in right. Once in give them a last good push just to make sure they sit correctly. Then reverse the uninstall steps.
