Corners and bumpers.

3 or 4 light coats of Krylon orange stain glass from Michaels, followed by a few coats of clearcoat. All on the outside. Im happy with them for only around $30 spent on project.

Re: Painting clears---> amber (Sport Injection)

Has anyone had problems with Krylon Paint. I was starting to paint mine but after two coats it started to look like it had little dots in it. (hard to explain). Sort of like a crackle affect. Is this normal or am i doing something wrong? Thanks! Also these are brand new clears.

Re: Painting clears---> amber (Bizarre)

You could wet sand it and then throw on some more coats..

Re: Painting clears---> amber (Bizarre)

You probably got dust on it. Just normally floating in the air, itll catch in the paint.

Re: Painting clears---> amber (KOALA YUMMIES)

It's not dust. It's like bubbles. I think I might have sprayed to much paint. I'm going to wet sand them and start over again with much lighter coats.

If it's got bubbles, you might not have cleaned enough. Something was probably left behind on the surface causing the bubbles. This is me trying to sound like I know what I am talking about, so I may be wrong, but that's my first guess. Try it again.

Go to a hobby store and buy some Tamiya Clear Orange. Give it about two coats and "walla".

Re: Painting clears---> amber (moondoggy)

Yes, I used Tamiya model paint, used the amber and one coat of "smoke" too. I dont remember if the smoke is on it in that pic. I can take another one to be sure. But the reflector doesnt blend with the color if you dont use enough.
