hey, i just finished painting my stock corner lights orange, they're still wet but so far, im not too impressed, did this happen to anyone else? and did they come out fine after they dried?

 

u just have to put the coats on lightly

 

yeah i did, i put a coat on, waited about 1 min, then another one, i think i did 3 coats in total. should i remove the paint and try it again? or should they come out fine when they dry? and what would i use to remove it?
thanx

 

Mine came out perfect...

 

heres a pic,

is this what it should look like when its wet?
sorry for a bad pic, had to take it quick,and lighting wasnt the best

What kind of paid do you need to do this?

 

i used krylon stained glass paint.

 

Do you use the ORANGE color? I looked at a place that sells this stuff and they list yellow and orange but no amber.

 

yeah it was orange, if you put like 3 coats on, its a little darker orange that looks just like amber.

also, am i supposed to clear coat the lights after the orange? the lights are slowly starting to look better

looks like this

 

I WILL KILL FOR SOME OF THAT ****
I CANNOT FIND IT ANYWHERE
let me know where you got it so i can go pick some up
and yes go to hobbyshack and get some glosecote and spray them after they dry
so u dont get any fading or peeling

 

i found it at canadian tire, they had a whol bunch of it, i also got red so that i can do my taillights too i love cheep JDM, i think it was like #3.99/can.

 

it doesnt look to bad, just looks like you put it on a little to thick without letting it dry in between long enough....

 

do you think they'll dry out fine? or should I try to take off the paint and redo them?

 

heres a more recent pic, they starting to look right?

i'm such a pic *****, i just think pictures help people understand better, or something like that

i dont think they look bad at all. but then again i'm all for race no show. im sure theyll look nice on the car. take pics when theyre on the car and then post.

 

i cant find that paint anywhere ive been looking for it forever how much would you think shipping would be if you sent it to me?

 

i can't find a can of this crap anywhere either. i've been to (or called) just about every Wal mart and Micheals within a 50 mils radius fom my house and no one has this....

 

I got mine from Ace hardware...

 

i like them
i got clear corners.. i think i am picking up some paint tomorrow and trying that ****..... peace

has anybody painted the stock tailights amber section red with stained glass paint??? or the whole thing?? i wanna do it to the second set of lights i got to try to get some JDM looking tailights.. anyone has a pic??
thanxs

 

Mine looked like those when the paint was still wet, but they came out fine. I have them and love the way they look. I did my stock corners and then put an amber bulb in the part that was originally clear and a clear bulb in the other part. This way at night both lit up the same shade of amber. But if you did it on clear corners, I'd recomend using amber bulbs, because it'll be a deeper color.

 

the first time i painted my taillights all red but i masked the reverse lens, it wasn't red at all it was smoked! then i decided to redo it and spray on a really light coat but you could still see the amber. recently i redid it again and this time i sprayed on two coats of amber then i sprayed it with the red stuff. it came out the way i wanted to be...ALL RED tails. but from an angle it looks smoked I think it looks neat. also when you signal its no longer amber its red i'll take some pics

 

hey man those corners are looking sweet. one guy on here did his tailights red, and he said after you use that krylon paint, use an automotive clear coat for protection. but i think one of you already said to go to a hobby store. so peace.

 

if you wanna paint your taillights red too, go to this site -> http://www.homemadeturbo.com/tail.html they have all sorts of info about it. and thanx for all the compliments everyone, ill post some pics of them on the car after the rain stops.

 

heres a picture with the corner lights in place, the hood wasn't completly closed when I took the picture and the headlights were completly bolted in so it may look a bit out of place, but its a general idea of what it'll look like.
