   Guys, On the rear lights, there is the red section with a clear/white section at the top. I would like to tint this top clear section. Do I just mask off the bottom bit with tape, and spray the top?
   
   Also, are there much differneces in the brands? I.e. E-Tech, Savage? etc. Thanks, Sam.

   now matey,
   
   i did mine last weekend..
   just mask off all the red bits with tape and newspaper and then spray away.
   
   i give the whole light a few coats of laquer when i was done too.
   dunno if people would recomend the laquer but i give it a shot.
   
   marc.

   yeah, nice thin and even coats.
   
   let them dry for 15 min between coats too.
