I have the stock corners on my 95 integra and i wanted some amber ones but i just heard to go out and buy some paint and clear coat and DIY. I was just wondering if you just use regular orange to get the amber color or if you use a differ color??

 

I know there is a testors amber orange. THat is what people use I believe. Try a hobby store or wally world

 

I made my corners amber by using orange Krylon Stained Glass spray paint. It took about 3-4 coats, and you can find it at Michael's.

 

Do you spray the outside, inside, or both?

 

Spraying the outside would be sufficient enough. Unless you like to paint the inside instead and go through the hassle of taking it apart.

 

What kinda paint will let the light go through the lense???

 

Krylon Stained Glass spray paint

 

I went to Michael's yesterday to get the Krylon stuff. They didn't have any amber/orange color? I don't mean they were out either, I mean every row was full they just didn't have it.

They had a yellow that I picked up just in case that is the one. What is the actual color you guys are using?

 

i went to osh, home depot, kragen, pep boys, wal mart. Didnt find one orange/amber color i could use.

Try some hobby shops, Autozone or Advanced Autoparts. They make it..I've seen it...just gotta hunt that **** down.

 

Pearl art supply store carries the proper amber, and many other colors too. they carry about every art supply you would ever need, and they're cheap. Blick (used to be Dick Blick) stores and The Art Store might carry it, too.

real vision ambers =

fake diy ambers =

 

why dont you just buy the fake ones? they're only 25 bucks and you dont have to worry about them chipping. the diy amber ones are too bright of a orange and you could really tell

 

go to michaels.....head to the toy model car section...pick up a can of "Testors" and get the color that's called...Compition Orange...the cap is like...floresent orange...and when u paint...jus put like...2 coats...3 at max...anymore and ur bulbs will light up red...and the gay part...ur gunna have to repaint them every month depending on how often u turn ur city lights on...good luck...go get amber corners...it's only 10 bucks more than the can of paint...i don't think it's worth it at all but it's up to u...

 

where can i get cheap amber corners for my 95' ?? I see them for the 98+ a lot not for my year.

 

they dont have them, i think you gotta paint yours

 

i used krylon stained glass paint... the yellow one. just do like 10 coats or so. it will darken a little with each coat until you get the desired affect. i'll go take pics and post them for you to show you how mine came out...

 

here ya go... i painted my bumper lenses too!!



i think they came out awesome and they only cost me 7 bucks to do!!

 

Michaels don't carry Krylon Stained Glass paint anymore, not orange anyways. I don't think Hobby Lobby carries the Testors in translucent orange anymore either.
