theres the question
help me out if anyone can
i have looked all over and cant find any transparent orange paint to
paint my bumper lights with
thanks

 

go to walmart and get Krylon glass paint. its just like regular spray paint but for glass or in your case bumper lights

 

hobby shop

 

my friend and i had looked around forever for it. its krylon stained glass paint in orange. we looked at wal-mart, michaels, etc. pretty much all the hobby shops and arts and craft stores around....nothing. then one night while he was in montreal he noticed a paint shop and decided to go in while in a drunken stupor ....there he found 2 cans of krylon stained glass paint....brought them back to the states and now he has nice amber corners for his gsr and i will soon have some "vision" corners for my 94 coupe. moral of the story:

go to montreal, get drunk, find paint, be happy

the kind you want is made by Tamiya. they dont carry it at micheals or wal-mart. I couldnt find it either, so I just called hobby shops and asked if they carried Tamiya. Its Tamiya clear orange #24

 

You can find the Krylon Stained Glass paint at Ace.

thanks guys ive been to michales , walmart, every hardware store and hoby shop in my city and i was gettin pretty pissed cause i cant find it anywhere i was ready to go to my local auto paint store and see if they could mix me somthin but you know how expensive it is ..
ill look for the krylon its some kinda glass paint right? is it transpaent
and it comes out clean?
anyone have any pics...
thanks again

 

yea its a glass spray paint. yes its transparent hence "glass paint" .
you might have to sand it down a little to get it really smooth.

 

thanks alot man

 

Is it okay to spray the outside of the corners or should you take off the lens and spray the inside?

Just wondering.

 

outside is good enough. just put the lenses in a cardboard box and spray away, let dyr, buff/sand as necessary and enjoy

 

I am the friend with the Drunken Stooper..... boy it was a fun time up there. but yea, there's no stained glass orange anywhere around albany. i put 4 good coats on a set of clear corners and it looks exactly as i'd like. (on the outside, since taking them apart would destroy them)
-Scary <----- the drunken paint finder

 

btw spray the lenses w/ gloss coat and then they wont peel

 

if anyone didnt know......

 

what are you going to sand it down with? Thats going to scratch it, I assume, using regular sand paper. you plan to get 100000000000000 grit sand paper or wet sand it. Please explain.

 

some guy has a topic on this dont remeber what its called but hes used a paint meant for painting the corners or whatever, he said he bought it from pep boys or discount auto parts, try those places

 

Here my car.... Lenses painted with the Krylon stuff.... They came out dark but I like it.

 

OH yeah just to let you guys know Krylon Glass Stain Paint has been discontinue..

 

Yo john what are you spraying. I have some in my garage. Just im me if you still need it

 

Look in the arts and crafts section of walmart i've seen it there many time in different stores. They don't put it in the paint and car sections from i've seen.

 

If you don't find it i'll buy some and ship it to you guys, but you have to paypal me the shipping

 

alright i live in vermont so the weather here sucks and if i spray this stuff on my tailights and lets say we get a snowstorm and im scraping the ice off my taillights will this stuff come off with the ice or does it stick really well?
