you can find the transparent paint at a hobby store. its model car paint called tamiya(get trans. red). if you want the film, you can get it at a decal store.

one more thing, what about your reverse light??? is that gonna be red too??

yeah Im no so sure that realistic for road cars. and if you REALLY do want to do it(I dont think youll be pulled over for having a red reverse light, just kinda suck to have...) but youd want to swap the turn signal bulb to a white bulb.

as far as the paint, yes tamiya transparent red. however cant say for certain it would match the tail light red so perfectly as theirs. also I dont think tamiya makes that color in a spray can, meaning youd need an airbrush, do NOT brush it on. and DO NOT use testors, tamiya only.

i got the red bulbs in the rear turn signals. they look nice, but now they look kinda pink, or maybe its cuz my rear turn signals are smoked.
