Default 87-? cheese grater tail lights..?

Is the 'cheese grater' part removeable for the purpose of painting? If not, has anyone painted theirs? If so, how did you do it? Thinking on a set for my 86 (yea, i'm crazy...like the look).

Thanks for any info!

Think he might be thinking of the grates itself off the lens. Not the whole lense, you have to tape it off if that is what you are thinking.

SO your saying the 'grates' do not come off and I would have to mask off the lens (even between the grates) in order to paint????

Ok, thanks. Don't think I have that much patience, so I guess I'll have to look for a set in the color I want! Thanks for clearing things up gr84u. Honest mistake boss, no big deal.

Im not really a big fan of the "cheese grater" headlights. I love the lx tails on a fox.
