Default DIY corner lamp question

well i got orange transparent paint and i wanna paint my del sol corner lamps orange.....but i have a question...i kno its been discussed b4 bout the headlights but, can i do the same procedure as DIY black housing for my corner lamps? i want to paint the inside part of the corner lamp so the orange paint last longer.. can i do it at the same temp for the oven? do i leave it in the same amount of time? since its smaller it might melt...so i dunno... thanks in advance...

I've been wondering the same thing myself.
Why does everyone always paint the -outside- surface???
The inner surface would make much more sense to me!</TD></TR></TABLE>

About 3mm around the lense is outside of the housing and when you close it back on the housing the seal will make it look cheap.

Also the paint needs to survive the heating in the oven...

One member took off the lense and did the black housing to the actual back housing part of his corners and healights. Looked pretty good, but not the lense.

balkced mine out, if someone can tell me how to post pictures I can show you. I baked my corners in over 225 for 8:00 to 10:00 mins, no melting no problems. Just seal it up with clear silicone adhesive. And your golden.
