My DIY Amber Corners!!

[Chicano2005]

So I decided to go amber.

One of my corners was already open. The other one I couldn't open it so i just sprayed over it. The pictures are self explanatory. I think they came out OK. I really didn't expect regular orange paint to work. I will take pics later today when they are installed in my cb. I'm so happy. What you guys think???

[Julianachos]

Is that even transparent paint?

[PointBlank]

It doesn't look like it. I'm curious to see if light shines through..

[Chicano2005]

heres how they look installed. They don't light up much, but then again its day time. I will take more pics tonight. and see how they light up at night. If they dont light up much i will get the LEDs 7.99 a piece at pepboys.

wow dudde i think that's illegal lol

u could of went to michaels and bought the amber transparent glass paint or w/e

Not going to work, the paint has no translucent properties.

Should have went with orange/yellow Dupicolor MetalCast.

[GameChewer]

The correct paint is orange/yellow Krylon Stained Glass Paint as seen here:

please refrain from using body color paint to complete this specific DIY, as it may endanger yourself and others, if you would like im pretty sure i have a spare can in the attic that i can give you for free if you would not mind paying for shipping. pm me with questions.

This is my first DIY obviously there are some errors. There just a bit of a problem trying to get spray paint here in chicago. The stores won't sell. About that Michael's store, i haven't seen one here in Chicago. I been to Autozone, Murrays, Advance Auto Parts, NAPA, Home Depot, and alot of others stores. And like i said some stores won't sell in the city. Others don't have the paint. Only at Pep-boys i found this. They didn't wanted to sell it. But thanks to all for your info. I'm pretty sure i can remove the paint using thinner, acetone, or paint remover. I work with this substances everyday so i have no problem using them. tomorrow is another day i will keep searching for the paint. good day fellas.

Stained glass is much better off if u wanna attempt a diy, but @ least u tried. Now u kno not 2 use that paint anymore. And 7.99 per led isn't worth it when a can of stained glass paint is 6 bucks.


Edit

Jus buy some on ebay or head to the jy and try again.

[kouzie]

yup those paint are not transparent.
But at least you try

[ikayto]

it's cool guys, jdm corner lights dont even signal

just get a sidemarker and you're set.

[1990Ex]

just buy a set from ebay

what are you talking about, that "none of the stores want to sell" paint? then why are they a store, and why do they carry it? how old are you?
