How Can I make my top corners AMBER??? other than changeing the bulb?? i have seen some where the lense is amber...

 

i forgot the guys name here on the org, but he has his lense orange.. i don't know if he used a spray to tint them or not, but i can get more info to you, if no one has yet to chime in on some answers.

 

Yes let me know thanks

 

yea spray it or check ebay

 

what type of spray am i looking for??

 

Stained Glass spray is what is popular among the people that have done it.

Also, Testors model paint has transparent colors(hence, the candy apple red for the tails people use), however I am unsure if they make an amber color.

 

I really like the amber corner lens with oem bumper, and was wondering how to do it too. we need a DIY thread....and I think mrd*ck95 has them on his max

 

alright something related to this topic..I just baked my bumper lights and I tried to ply it out but it seems to be not working..I dont know what I'm suppose to do..if someone can give me a tip how to do it that would be great.

thanks

 

how long did you bake them??

 

I agree!!!

 

.....

 

 

Krylon staind glass paint, YELLOW

 

okay, few last questions. Did you apply that krylon paint to OEM bumper lens OR to clear lens? Would that paint match the OEM orange?

 

I painted clear bumper lights to match. I dont think you could match the stock amber too easy.

 

where do you buy this krylon glass paint and what is the exact color on the can ? and are you painting the inside or outside?

 

You can get it at Michael's Craft Store... the Top of the can is yellow top.

you spray the outside. It will go from pale yellow > yellow > amber > orange...

You can kinda match the OEM bumpers BUT its going to be really dark.

 

mine match the stocker ambers pretty darn well.

 

Spray them with the Krylon stained glass spray.

 

(yours is what i want mine to look like)

 

ya this way is way cheaper than gettin the amber tint off ebay.. i am gonna be doing this within a week or so.

 

ME TOO!

 

def post up pics when u get it done.

 

Just paint it with Clear Orange spray paint. I'm also into model cars, so I used Tamiya spray paint on mine, and it ended up fine.

Spray them with the Krylon stained glass spray.

 

Opening this thread again, how many coats do i need for my lights to look like this i have bought the paint from michael's and have been spraying.. when does it turn orange...

the pic im refering too is #20

 

Number 20...where? Is there a list or something you forgot to link to?

 

If you scroll to the 20th posting posted you will see the maxima that showed the lights the color i wanted .....

 

Ah, post 20 (which is just post 13 quoted).

If you look at the thread where he first did them, the recommendation given was somewhere around half a dozen coats.

If you search, you'll find that thread.

 

The color im getting looks like the color of the fof lights in photo signature #21

 

Thanks man ...

 

vinyl?

 

does anyone know of any tutorials on how to open the top corner light? like baking temp, time and where to pry it open easiest?

 

Stickies...Head light dis-assembly. Same process.

 

I thought they were glue together with some hard glue but true same process
like the headlight oven method, But used a heat gun and ply open

 

ARE you gonna paint them from the inside?

 

I painted the housing black not the lens

 

do you have any pics of the finished product?

 

Yeah
