Get some mint ones and paint them with transparent hobby paint, or convert to 88-89 bumpers, OEM amber ftw.

how the hell you gonna flip out on jerry when he said nothing to you and agreed with the fact that YOU said to go on ebay? and there is absolutely nothing wrong with ebay. i've gotten several brand name parts on there for a hell of a lot cheaper than buying the straight from the company. i've also gotten non-brand name parts that worked just fine as well. as long as you know what you're buying it will be just fine. either way, YOU were the one to bring up ebay in the first place

how to make your own paint mixture using transfer caps: amber lenses

step 1:


Have 2 cans ready along with transfer caps(2) off of a wd-40 spray can with "male" tips and straws

1 clear reciever(rustoleum is the only can i use for clear paints)

1 orange donor(rustoleum, osh, krylon, montana, molotov, etc)



step 2:

prepare your cans for transfer!

Scientifically air and all molecules diffuse when acted upon with temperature(there is a special name for this and I can't figure the name out...)

so in theory when a can is heated up, the temperature in the can will produce high pressure.

and a can with low temperature(cold) will reduce the pressure causing lower pressure.



remember to do this correctly!

The donor can(orange) must be heated to produce high pressure.

I would let this can sit in hot tap water for about 5 mins.



The reciever can(clear) must be cooled down to reduce pressure

I would let this can sit in the freezer for about 5 mins as well.


one can must be really hot and one must be really cold for this to work..


Step 3:

Very quickly install the transfer caps(wd-40 male caps with straws) one on each can.

Connect the straw on each head.



Step 4:

now hold down both caps as if you were "spraying". I would do this is small increments to introduce a light amount of color into the clear. its easy to add alot of light coats, than a few dark coats, very easy to drip.

You may test this out on a clean peice of white paper.
