colour codeing the bump strips
the only thing i didnt like about the n15 s2 was the black plastic bump strip,so a week after buying it, rach and i masked them up and went at them with a few cans of holts spray paint!, just follow the same steps as the tail lights for how to paint.


painting the tail lights.

step 1
remove the tail lights, there are a few 8mm bolts on the inside of each light, once they are undone pull them out. This will be a bit hard cause they are held in by black silicone stuff.
step 2
masking the lenses, i found the easiest way to do this was to put the tape on then with a rasor blade,cut around the lense

step 2 is where the other half comes in handy!
step 3
give the lights a light rub back with some wet and dry sand paper
clean them with some turps, or wax and grease remover
spray a few coats of plastic primer and leave to dry
step 4
start spraying, just do a few light evan coats,waiting till they dry before doing the next coat.
i used 1 and a half 150g holts tins,
when they are done and dry do a few coats of clear
step 5
once they are dry, carefully take off the masking tape, you might need to touch up a few spots with a paint brush

get some turps to clean of the tape residue

i also used a fine black permenent marker around the lense to define the edge of them
step 6.
putting the lights back in,
same as step 1 but reveresed, just remember to plug them back in!
step 7
do a quick check that all the bolts are tight and that the lights work,
then stand back and admire!!
