Default Why you dont paint cluster bulbs.




This is about 3 months, Tops. I used that testers orange.
They faded one time earlier and i put another coat on. Then this happened.

You could sell those bulbs as "Flame design bulbs" as the NEW JDM!

Please don't blame those people for you sucking at painting.

You have to use high temp paint.

Or you can be smart about it:

http://autolumination.com/

I got 2 sets for my '95 EX (amber) for 20 bucks (for both), shipped.

They never fade, they're not half-*** painted, none of that, they're straight up like OEM but with an amber lens, and they're cheap as hell. Only problem is I have a burnt out socket by 3k RPM (didn't work with OEM bulbs either). Though it looks a whole lotta kick-***.

Damn I shouldn't have sold that car, I'm beginning to hate my EJ8 on an ultimately high scale.

Syn is right: you used the wrong materials and did a generally poor job. Don't blame him for his frustration with your lack of common sense.
