I found that craft stores are now selling stain gless paint in a spray can, It comes in yellow, blue and red. It looks alot better then useing the model or Krylon Acrylic paint, its crystal clear and fills in/hides all the imperfectoins in the plastic. I dont know if you guys already new about this but I thought I would mention it.

Here are some pics of my fog lights that I did with the yellow paint, and they light up bright yellow.

Sorry the pics are not the best I took them with my cell phone.

 

god...what happened to the whole front end of your car?

 

What are you talking about?

 

Be nice now...

I like your SE-R's!

 

im just giving you ****.
the hood, eyelids, bumper, etc are not my taste. there is way to much going on. lines going in every direction. they mess up the smooth lines of the car.

fog lights look good though

 

Thanks sooner and I know you where, I know your style LOL. Im want to make a statement with the car but I hate the huge body kits. I had a classic lip on it but it didn't go with the hood, and once I get the rest of the lip kit on its going to look nice.

 

yeah, he should really take all that crap off and slap a big #28 on the drives door lol
looks good man, honestly. much cheaper than buyin thoes ones off e-bay

 

Hey revs2hard.....How does the "yellow" output compare with hidtech's capsules??? I have yet to do the capsule but had the luminics yellow h3's in for a few months and they were ok.. Also I will be curious to see how the "paint" holds up to the heat of the fog light and temperature changes...Other than that they look good for appearance on the car..What brand is the paint and what store did you get it from?? How many coats did you give the lights....Paul

 

Hmmm....spray on window tint in a can you say... Very interesting...

 

Would this also work for tinting my side marker lights to match the black of the car? I can't seem to find the right paint for doing that. Other than Nyt shades, which seems to be rather expensive.

 

That looks so clean... I guess I have a new project now. How much was the paint?

 

It's about the same if not more yellow then the HID Tech capsules. The reason I say its more yellow is because I have a set of Vision X hyper white fog light bulbs behind them and they over power the headlights (that are the same bulbs). I did around 6-9 coats, It was a saturday night and I had some vodka and 2 of the big Rockstars LOL. I also was doing my friends 240 tail lights black so I lost count. The paint will hold up fine, my friend has had it done to his car for about a year now and it still looks great. I found the paint by calling around to local craft stores and asking for yellow stain glass paint in a spray can. When you find it the cap looks orange but its yellow trust me, its also a Krylon product here's the link-http://www.krylon.com/main/product_t...roduct_details

They look great. They really stand out from the black and clear.

 

It was $7 and some change if I remember right.

LOL Hey check out the cardomain page before you judge LOL, those are some bad pics.

 

Hmmm...Im wondering what the blue would look like paired up with the factory HIDs....

 

Id try it on my cracked OEM fogs that ive been talking about replacing for a while now but im gonna be on crutches gimping around for at least another week (ACL Reconstructed) so i cant be the guinea pig. If you try it post some pics please thanks.

 

I really like the way it came out. I was thinking of doing it, but I dont know if it legal here in cali..or maybe i should just say, I do know that its illegal and I dont want to get pulled over for it .


Good luck on that surgery.

 

Should not be a problem. It's a legal color on a civilian vehicle as far as I know. Also, yellow fogs come stock on Lexus as well as others.

 

weren't the capsules used for the fog lights yellow? Not the ACTUAL glass housing??

 

Brandon, Thanks for the link to the krylon spray...Do you have any night shots of the finished product??? I am going to look for this stuff this weekend at local craft stores.... Did you get the 6-9 coats applied in one evening?? I am guessing the spray dries fairly quick and you can apply within an hour between coats...Thanks......Paul

 

yea night pix

 

I did the 6-9 coats at a three minute intervoles, then let it dry for a hour. After that I installed them, its quick and easy.

Im going to take some pictures tomorrow night, so check back then.

 

can the stain glass stuff be removed? i mean, if i dont like the way it outputs, is it possible to get the surface back to the orginial state?

 

uppin this cuz i definitely wanna know. Also if somebody has tried a different color, post up some of the pics!

 

just be the guinea pig and post some pics for all of us. I dont think youll be dissapointed. i would, but i have 24 staples in my leg.

 

Damnnn homie, hope you heal up soon man...Cant be having a fellow orger outta commission . Lol im gonna go buy the stuff later on today...and sure, ill be the guinea pig for the sake of the forum

 

There up, it was hard cuz I dont have a digi but I got it.

 

I dont know for sure, my guess would be no. Remember this paint is ment to show up clearly the color you paint it. If you have ever seen a stain glass window you will know what im talking about.

 

though people love to argue camera quality and such, that looks pretty dang yellow. nice find!

 

Sweet tjts! That does look pretty yellow. Im def. gonna do this when i can walk again.

 

Thanks for the night pics Brandon....They definetly look good and you can really tell the difference with the picture against the garage...I am looking for the paint today at local craft stores....

 

Hey, just wondering But where did you get those door pillar covers in chrome?..if you can give me the exact place I would be very greatful

 

Ya there yellow for sure.

 

Bought them off of ebay for about 40 bucks shipped.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nissa...spagenameZWDVW

 

when you guys get yours done post up some pics I would like to see them.

 

I sure as hell will...First i gotta find some!!!!I went to Michaels, Jo-ann Fabrics, and Walmart...no one has this

 

How sturdy are the pillars. Do you recommend them? By this I mean does the quality really show in these pillars? I want a very reliable pair that will last for a while.. ...and I assume that it comes with 3M adhesive tape?

Lastly..did you have to remove your pre-existing vinyl covers on the pillars? Or did you apply the chrome ones right over??

Thanks for all your help!!

 

I got mine at Michaels, did you ask someone? I looked forever and when I asked it was where I never guessed it would be, but I had walked past it.

 

oh aight...imma go get it right now then

 

alright..Job is done...Not too happy with how it looks during the day. Im gonna take some pics tonight to show you guys how it looks. Im hoping it looks tonz better at night....The stain can be removed luckily...But if it looks good at night, im gonna keep it! pics coming soon
