    Tailblazer Griffin

    Hi!
    I have 92 Griffin - mint! The tailblazer is weary. There is one new at the Turku, Finland Saab-dealer for 30 euros but it is bright, mine is smoked. Can I spray it dark - from the outside?

    Thanks and regards

    hi,
    In simple terms yes but its a ****** to get even!Dark here light there..... I did a set of rear lights on one of my previous cars and boy it was difficult to get just right. Used an acrylic paint designed for the job(from a car accessories shop)
    Good luck

    Oh and you can remove it at a later date with thinners.

    Hi Andy,

    Thanks for your reply.
    It should be obvious, but
    did you spray it from the
    outside.

    Kind regards

    Yes so that if any lights are needed ie brake,indicators etc they still shine through.
    If what you are spraying has lights that by law require any certain colour then this also helps but when all is finished don't forget to check they work.
    If you sprayed the inside I'm pretty sure that you'd still have the same colours but maybe a little darker.

    Could be worth laquering if you can get it right!
