i am looking to take my OEM turn signals and paint them amber and i need to find out which colour code of Krylon Orange spray to use..... anyone who has done this can you please post the paint colour code..... i know there have been topics on this, and i did a search, but i could not find the colour code...only that people had used Krylon Orange...

also, i would assume that you would put a layer or two of clear over top after as well, but correct me if i'm wrong.....

 

pow

 

I used Krylon Yellow stained glass paint. No clear. It is SMOOTH, looks shiny, and nice and smooth. Here's the pic...ghetto I know, got Visions in garage...



Lay LIGHT coats nice and even. Probably about 4 to 5 super light coats. It will smooth out after it settles. Yellow gives you this color and the orange will be a little darker.

 

so you don't use orange?

what colour code is that yellow.....?

and what colour code is the orange?

 

they didn't have orange at the store I bought mine at. I don't know the color codes. They just have differet cap colors. You'll see the difference. They should have the paint at the local craft or home improvement store. I would have used orange for a darker look, but couldn't.

It all depends on how dark you want it. You can see how dark mine are, and with orange, probably a few shades darker.

Here are mine, its an old pic. I used Tamiya model paint, its clear orange.

 

those look real good, i'm gonna have to find that Tamiya orange model paint to do my lens'.........where can you find that stuff?

 

that orange looks the best. Most hobby shops should carry it.

 

where did you buy the krylon glass paint? people say at walmart at the frabic section, but cant seem to find it. i look at the spray can section also, not there?

where can it be????

 

I bought mine at Michael's. Most crafts stores carry it. I don't see why Wal Mart or Lowe's wouldn;t have it. Ask for "Krylon Stained Glass Window Paint". It's about 1/2 the size of a regular spray can. Runs about 5 or 6 bucks.

 

I saw that Tamiya orange clear at the hobby store but I didnt get it cuz it said it was acrylic (water based)..... so I found the krylon **** at michaels. Gonna do it tonight...look for a new post.

 

yea micheals has it, i painted mine, and i picked up a bottle of red to paint my amber part on the tailights too

 

this is the Krylon orange stained glass paint, i got it from http://www.michaels.com

 

Sorry its off topic, but what lip is that? its pretty nice.

 

its a 97 ITR lip

 

looks pretty good........ i like the tamiya colour better, it's more of a dark/transparent orange...... but i hear it's water-based.......so will that not work very well?

 

this may sound stupid, but when yall paint it do yall just paint da outside.
or is there some way to open it up and paint on the INSIDE??

 

Why not just buy these and save yourself the hassle

Painting them is just a waste of time in my opinion

 

$5 can of spray paint vs. $55 for those........ i think i'll just try the spray

 

those look like *** without the reflector, just another overpriced riceboy-wishing-i-was-jdm part. if someone were to pay the $55 for those thats exactly what they are too.

 

I used "Testors". It's competition orange # 1628. It's a pretty good amber color. Found it in the 'Hobbies' section by the model cars.

 

i painted my EG corners with TAMIYA clear orange... used it on an airbrush.. looked real nice!! afterwards i sprayed some clear coat over em... LOOKED BADASS. and this was on my OEM corners, like EMERICA. ppl asked me all the time if they were real visions. i fooled some!!!

 

back from the dead........ but glad to see it, cuz i am still looking to do this mod
