I definately think it will look good, just curious about the blinker color and after a quick peek at my handy color wheel the blinkers, im betting, are a maroon/dark red color.

I bought my candy tails off of another member - Y2KSierra. He painted them with "Testors" candy apple red and painted over the factory yellow. At night, the turn signals are red, just like the brakes. Personally, I think they look awesome! I'm going to get another set of factory tails smoked. I'm thinking that I want them candied first, then smoked.

Yeah, you can do them to the red and amber tails to make them solid red. The turn signals will shine red as well.

Sorry, I've been away for a few days. You paint the outside, and yes when you hit the brakes it shows up red. Testor's is the paint to go with IMO; its really cheap and easy to use. Just make sure you do a LOT of wet sanding or you'll have orange peel like a ****.
