    Tail light housing painting?

    I've seen the DIY for taking apart the headlights and painting the inside of the housing, I was wondering if anyone has done this or seen pictures of it done to the tail lights as well? I don't see why you can't, the brake lights are separate from the housing, and you could leave the reflectors surrounding the turn signals untouched so they're still bright. Any thoughts?

    I have the headlight housing in the oven right now, gonna be painting it gloss black with copper flake (to be a little different). Was thinking about doing the same in the taillight housing, already did the emblems the same.
