I went to Home-Depot and picked up a can of red paint. Continued to paint my tails and when i re-installed them, the paint was either too dark or thick so i thinnered them off. I then read the post on what paint to use and it said 'transparent' paint. Does anyone know where i can pick up a can of those bad boys? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Tail-Light Paint - 6G Celicas Forums
Edit* The paint was so dark/thick that you couldnt see the light through it..
my friends and I darkened mine using spray paint and paint thinner... so we just brushed it on and let it dry... and just added coats to make them darker...
I think they turned out good >

Testors also makes a tint paint/translucent paint..
If anyone needs interior stuff, etc, I'm parting whats left of my celi out. Just ask.
VHT, not VSH.
Go to the hobby store. You can get Testors Transparent Red Spray paint or the Transparent black window tint spray. Look near the model cars. I actually bought mine online. It was pretty cheap.

Very nice...
I got some Testors #1605 "Transparent Candy Apple Red" from walmart for like $3 a can.
I haven't sprayed it yet, as I have no celica... so I can't tell you what it looks like. it is a source though.
They didnt have any tint/smoke paint in the same style though >
