Default DIY: Amber lense (Before & After Pics) SSBP B20VTEC

i cant find them at my local craft store. so i had to order directly from krylon website


http://www.krylon.com/main/pro...tails

Orange Stained Glass - 9023


thats what you will need.

i just put a couple of thin layers on them spraying from about a ft away.
at first, itll look all bubbly, if you let them sit after spraying, majority of the bubbles disappear.

looks clean, but you should post how the bumper lenses looked before instead of nothing to something like PhAtBoY Si said

for me the clear ones worked better. b/c if you can see that the stock had a section that was clear and a section that was already sort of amber.
so part of my signal was more amber (the part that was already orange) than others.
