question about painting brake light

[nicole :)]

so i have the sticker that goes over your trunk brakelight that says zoom zoom.. but after a year or so of use its developed bubbles and such from rain and whatnot.. thinking about just painting where it says zoom zoom black and taking the sticker off.. not really sure what paint to use for that tho if anyone has any suggestions

Sedan or hatch?

If you're a hatch, it's a pain in the arse to get the 3rd brakelight lens off, '07 and up anyways...I went with an overlay, changing to red soon but here's smoked

but if you do go the paint route, Vans tint spray or Niteshades, Vans makes different colors.

Exposure to the elements would not cause bubbles under vinyl. Did you use Windex or another cleaner with Ammonia in it? that is usually the culprit.

i would say get a vinyl sticker, thats what i was going to do with mine. If you do make sure itts clean and DRY! haah

So you want "zoom zoom" in black to be on your lens? If that is the case get vinyl shop to make a reverse decal, apply it, paint it, and remove the "outline" of the decal. It would be like a stencil. Good idea by the way.
