Hell yeah.............Any recommendations for spraying rear light cluster?? Also do I spray inside the lens or on the outside?

The rear lights I have are Mk2 set so just covering brake/red and turn signal/orange.

 

Thanks

I sprayed mine from the outside with the e tech stuff, 8 years on still looked good. Went to mk2's for a change in the end!

I was thinking of doing mine, but unsure of how it would stand with the MOT rulings?

I just sprayed a spare set of mk4 lenses to look like mk2/mk3 lenses.. Thought i'd get a rough idea of what mk2/mk3 lenses would look like.

I sprayed the outside with that e-tech stuff.

 

Looks alright to be honest!

I did mine with some cheap stuff off Amazon, quite pleased with them  They were originally clear jewel lenses/ I sanded off the lettering and then wet-sanded them with 1500 grit. One tip I can offer is if you want it shiney then you have to spray it thick, but it will run really easily too, so I recommend spraying a thin ghost layer, followed by a thicker layer sprayed nice and evenly. 

 

Something I should add; I have the ultimate LED rear light conversion so they're actually rather bright, no good with regular bulbs though.

Got a photo of them at night Chris? I like that idea, my tinted m3onward ones are getting tired

Not exactly at night, but in my garage. This is with the tail lights and hazards on.
