I've been looking at the kit and noticed that the angled "return" on the lights isn't covered with red vinyl.

Is this the norm?

It's nigh on impossible to get them in there you can't really get heat in there. Only way is with lacquer painting them. a couple of people have BLACK lacquer painted lights, but nobodies yet done red... I've considered it numerous times.

You can't tell. The red is diffused all over the show so unless you get up real close and personal then you won't see it.

Yep. As others say, unless yoy get your head to a position where you can see the inside of the lights, you dont notice.

Mike at modurstang told me her sprayed a set red but he didnt mask off the black bits, so the black plastic was also sprayed. No idea what it looked like but cant imagine it was nice.

It'll be the anchor room set going staight on mine as soon as i get the chance.

I have all the equipment and knowledge to spray them but I fear lacquer paint will pickle the plastic. An acrylic would be better. Then there's also the fact that both sides need identical coats and perfectly even layers. They also might fade, oh and painting is non reversible.

OK guys, I'm going to order today, so if anyone else wants a set, you'll need to say so today. So far it's just Kristian and I on the list.

I haven't placed the order, I will be doing so in the morning. Hopefully we'll avoid duty as the kits will come in an envelope. Now we have three sets to order I may try for a discount?

They don't come in an envelope, they come in a tube.
