Default Painted my Del Sol Fogs! Yellow

will after reading about painting the fogs instead of buying ones that cost 100.00 or more i thought id take the cheap rout.. Lets face it most of my car was built with junkyard parts anyway.

I sure wish my EG came with fogs, that way i wouldn't have to spend $100 on fogs, but whatever.

I dont know if you have a Michaels where you live but only a few stores carry it so you have to call and ask for this kind of paint. Its usealy where the stain galss stuff is and not it the locked spray paint shelf. Its 8.99 for the can and i only used 1 can but bought 2 for touch ups and if it faded. Im sure if you cant find a store near you you can order it online. The number of the color is 9024 YELLOW it has an orange top buy its yellow. Its KRYLON Stained Glass color spray paint. its super easy to do and should only take you an hour due to waiting for the paint to dry.

They look okay, but I really prefer them clear. Car looks like it could use a good detail. Maybe some paint too, now that I've looked at the photos again.
