I was wondering if anyone can give me some advice on spraying my rear clusters. Iam planning on giving them a good covering in white spray paint but:
can they look good and be legal?

rub all the markings (ford parts codes etc) off from the bottom right/ left corner with quite heavy sand paper.
rub down the whole cluster with a fine sand paper and then wet wet/dry paper.
Heat the clusters up with either a hair dryer or even put them in the oven for a bit (this creates a good surface 2 paint on, u can heat the surface up with a hair dryer between each layer to)
VERY light layers of whatever colour u want.
rubbin down lightly between each coat.
wen u'v got it how u like, lightly rub down with wet an soapy wet/dry paper.
laquer, rubbin down with wet an soapy wet/dry paper between each coat (2 or 3 or how ever shiny ya want)
remember to lightly spray the laquer on and not 2 close or else it feks up! in very light layers.
if ur worried bout how much light shines through get sum uprated bulbs.
