Im about to paint my stock lights amber, I was reading and I was in Micahels with my mom today and noticed this paint, did I get the right stuff?

 

That looks like it should work...

 

That looks like the paint I bought. However, the first time I bought the paint I made the mistake of buying the yellow one. The cap looked orange, but the paint was yellow.

Look at the label and make sure the color code is for orange, not yellow.

 

Canada gets owned with prices at Michales, I read on here its like 4-5 bucks for the paint, I paid 10.99+tax.. facck!

I will post up pics when Im done..

how many coats do you think I should do? Any suggestions so I dont get drips?

If you look above the bar code, there will be a color code.

9024 is yellow
9025 is orange

The cap on the can is what fooled me. I couldn't find the orange at any Michaels in Northern California. I ended up buying the paint online. If you cant find the Krylon paint, go to a hobby shop and get some Tamiya X-26 paint.

 

The guy above used the same yellow one as I just baught, and it looks pretty good..

I think I might go ahead and paint them, and see how it turns out..

It's called an exchange rate. You pay twice as much for stuff in Canada because your currency is worth roughly half as the US currency.

Trust me, it wont look like the pic. I tried painting my corners with the yellow paint and it didn't look right. However, when I used the orange paint, it looked like the pic above.

 

went to canadian tire to get some stuff for my car, and found the same paint, only in "orange" for 3.99.. I paid almost 12 bucks at Michales..

heres the outcome, tehre still a bit sticky

 

looks good
