Painted taillights accord 96 - (Not tint) - Possible!!
Hi guys,
I always dreamed about having a skyline look or something (Most of you probably do). I'm still a student so i cannot afford a real racing car ( Dude, it cost 2.5K per year just to insure a Civic 2007 EX in canada, imagine skyline). I can only work with what my parents gives me. So this is a hard-worked on Accord 96. I will buy a better car after school.
I putted less than 1.5k$ on this car and most of the work is DIY and handmade so i cannot be considered as a real ricer. I just do it because i like to work with my hands.
In this thread, i just want to show that it's possible to use Altezza headlights and turn them into GTR 33 look-a-like head lights. I have been searching everything on google but no one has shown it. I used objects to circle and cut out some covers to cover the circle parts (the smallest circle was the diameter of a tape) and the biggest one was the diameter of a dvd box. Then , based on those circles, i just cut out the tapes required to make those circles and then cover them ... then spray with Canadian tire's duplicolor's spray paint and ended with a primer. Though ,my car is 13years old, color and my sprayed color did not look too much the same but if your car has a new paint job or its quite new. You can try it. It IS possible. I did not cover my signal lights, reverse lights, red flares and signal. At night, the light goes through anyways =P. Enjoy.

Yea, i painted my brake drums and brake pad yellow with Duplicolor brake paint. They were 29,99$ at canadian tires. Really good paint. It can paint 3-4 cars without drums and 2 cars with drums as rear brakes. Though, my car has been ran 13 years so the drums were all rusted , i did not bother sanding it ... i just applied the paint over it. 3 layers. Looks fine.
I used canadian's tire Duplicolor paint. Canadian tire has the replica of all cars colors for 9,99$ a small spray bottle. I'm not good at painting sorry , i did not sand it either after painting it .... X) thanks guys.
