Default Update- Black/Amber Ep3 Headlights - Finished - 56k you can do it!!

Hey yall. i finished the ADMstunna headlights and im just posting up the pics cuz some peeps wanted to see the finished product. the previous post was kinda half *** so here are the finished pics. Looks Great!!!! i painted the side markers amber as well but i sprayed them too much they came out dark orange. lol. oh well, still looks str8. the paints i used are at the bottom, u can see the elusive "amber" paint.







edit- i screwed up the pics.

I'll go ahead and ask since I'm sure you'll get this 10 million times in IM...

Where did you get the Amber spraypaint?

hey yall - the amber paint is a jdm item that my local performance shop had. they said they got it from japan.... so i dunno. and i bought the last one. i could find out if they are gonna get anymore and i could put up their number and yall could call them and order it from them. i paid $20 for it. worth it though.

-im not gonna take off the pinstripe cuz i think the dealer said its painted on and they use paint thiner to take it off and it leaves a dull area around where the pinstripe was in the paint. not cool. and im used to it and i think it accentuates that curve that the car has that leads to the front wheel/fender. peaceeeeeee

I forget what you said in your original post...

Did you use the ephatch.com technique to get the lights apart (oven) or did you use a hairdryer or something?

used an oven and used a hair dryer to help loosen the glue as well.
