    Good luck with this man! I attempted it on my old vert but never fully completed it....I recommend buying several cans of spray paint in the same color as well...makes it much easier to get into the hard to reach places!

    Thanks. I actually found a forum, rolledonforum.com, which practically talks about the roll on paint job... Quite informative and convincing...

    Now the tails...

    One last thing that i cant remove and i dont know why... The tailights... I removed the four nuts around the corners but the tails wouldnt pop out... Its like a battle i cant win and im afraid that if i yank it so hard, it might break...

    Take a putty knife and work it around the most exposed area above the lights, then carefully pry out on the entire assembly. These lights are held in with black RTV which is very sticky, but if your patient and work from one side to the other it will eventually let go!

    This is how it looks when they're completely removed and all the goo is cleaned off, Goo Gone, Pure Citrus, or even WD40 will take it all off......

    be careful as you'll end up cracking the tails if you rush, take your time and work them loose....use googone and citus to help loosing the rtv a bit....putty knife it till its loose

    thanks... i think i yanked it too much... i was able to take it off, but it looks like i stripped the grooves on the wiper arm... hopefully the nut is enough to hold the wiper when in use..
