michael2938 24 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 Can someone tell me what the correct color is for the tail light housings? Mine are painted red (body color of the car they came out of) but I think that is wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RPM 1,190 Report post Posted April 15, 2014 I think the originals are plated a silver color. Some guys here have painted them. I don't know the specific color they used. Bob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I'm interested in painting mine too, but would like to use a color that is closest to original. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michael2938 24 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks for the pictures. Now I'm torn between the argent/original look and flat black. The black looks really good. Hmm. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian Conway 264 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 (edited) Brian, I just noticed you have a orange dot on yours. Any idea what that is for? Good eye. Just went and took a good look at the yellow/orange dot. No idea what it is or how it got there. It is some sort of ink and that is about all I can say. Posted a question and the picture on the CONCOURS site. Might be one of those fella's will know something about the dot ?

Guillaume69 150 Report post Posted April 16, 2014 Michael, I hesitated a lot between flat black and body color (blue). I finally chose flat black to try and keep them low key in the trunk. That silver tape I put on there is temporary. Before that, they were unpainted, metal. The stock look, I guess. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
