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.
I just went to Honda and got Amber bulbs. </TD></TR></TABLE>
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:

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.

x2....but why didnt you use high temp paint in the beginning? I mean i give a
for doing it yourself, but it just seems like common sense for a lightbulb.
