Long title I know!

There used to be a "how to" for fixing faded yellow portions of the tail lights. Involved spray paint IIRC.

Anyone have this? Why does this happen only on one side anyway?

Hope everyone is having a great summer. I've been fairly absent because I've been away getting married! Off to the Dominican tomorrow for the honeymoon.

Cheers folks!

I do not have it, but congrats on the wedding!!

I would be interested to see this procedure as well. Or just an alternative to spending $120 on new plastic.

I think in the previous thread on .com all you needed to do was mask off the inside of the lens and spray the orange section from the inside with translucent amber paint. Tamiya sells it for use on polycarbonate R/C car bodies.
