i just finished doing the amber climate control and gauge cluster lights but then after testing it out on a drive at night, that **** sucks. anyone know where i could get a good can of amber spray paint. let me know what brand and item number it is. im looking for jdm amber style and not this red crap.

 

First thing, you need to go to Michael’s or wherever and pick up a can of Testors Competition Orange #1628(spray can works best):

 

I used some krylon farm and implement paint my father in law had lying around, came out just like everyone else's who used that tesors paint. That little can is kinda expensive.

 

go to a craft store like ac moore. i had a friend that sis it though and it always winds up looking red when i have seen it done.

 

i brought the testors paint but that turned out kinda red. im looking for a straight amber color.

micheals has a paint called stained glass tint . it works awesome.

Just take the bulb out and go up to Advanced Auto Parts, Napa, Autozone, Pep Boys etc.. and get amber bulbs.

Five #24 automotive bulbs (they come in 2-pack, so you’ll get six)
Three #74 bulbs.

The cluster takes five #24’s and one #74, and the climate control takes two #74’s.

 

Tamiya has paint that is transparent.

i already brought the bulbs and dont want to go buy more so i was thinking of getting nail polish remover and taking off the paint then spray painting them again with a different type of amber paint besides testors #1628.

 

i think im probably go buy some tamiya paint and try that out. thanks

I would just buy the bulbs. I read somewhere on here that the spray painted bulbs tend to fade faster.

 

i used that high heat engine paint n mine
and they are more of a burtn orange dark red.. and i ended up likeing that better.. plus the paint dosent get hot.. and thin out or burn off...

X100000....


Krylon Orange Stained Glass Spray Paint - Part Number: KRY-9023

they also have the yellow one! do your foglights and finish them up with a clear coat!

 

ooh come one everyone knows the permanent marker method is the best...get amber bulbs from auto parts store and put about 3-4 coats of red perm. marker on each of em about 10 minutes apart for each coat...mines been lookin the same for 2-3 weeks now..looks great! actually now its a TINY bit less red and more toward orange so it's like perfect

damn u ppl just do it the way i just showed u....it works great

 

just called every craft and auto store in my town and the only place that carried it is Michael's craft store. even went to the Krylon website and called the places listed as dealers, so i am taking it as this stuff is not stocked in alot of krylon dealers.
