Has anyone in the UK used the red light paint to refurbish their rear lights?
My lights have faded (like they all do, but the cheapest i can buy a new set for is £450!!!)
If so, where did you buy it and more importantly, is it any good???

Did mine a while ago and they came out a nice red colour rather than the pink colour they used to be-took 2 light coats.
Got the stuff from a local auto parts store (last can) in the "tuner" section![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
I paid about £10 cus the can was dusty !
heres a link to the same stuff but double the price![Frown](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/frown.gif)

Here is my experience, I bought my paint over the internet and had a great experience with it. The local Halfords in England probably has a similiar product as the Kragens/Pepboys have here. Just make sure you get enough to cover for mistakes if you need to start over...

EDIT: BTW, I also recall folks saying that brand new lenses are somewhat dissapointing as they are still not a deep, deep red. Therefore painting may actually bring about more desirable results than a new set of lenses would.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

I think the new lenses look fine (I replaced all mine). However - it is the one single thing I did to my car which afterwards I thought : that really wasn't worth the money.
