Ambient Lighting Panels Paint Question

If I take the panels off and have my body shop paint them. Can I just tape off the strip at the top of the panel on the front and have the face of the panel painted? Or do I have to get all the paint off of the inside and have them spray the inside?

You can do it that way.. Just keep in mind how light works.
If you have a dark color painted on the back of the panel, and try to paint a light color on the front, youll see your color, but it will appear darker as less light will pass through it. If you want pure "Color" your going to have to strip the paint off the inside first. Thats why any time to paint a color that you want to "Pop", you put a bright base coat beneath it. Just something to consider.
