ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

    When you begin your thread with an apology for being lazy, what makes you think someone will bother taking THEIR time to help you?

    I have Audi projectors in my JDM headlights. I bought them that way. I assume they are from an A4, but I do not know for sure.

              I didn't use that kind, but yes, i used spray paint. I had a hard time finding a brand that gave me the color i wanted, so i used 2 different colors and blended them together and used my CB3 sidemarker as a control color.

              Krylon Yellow Stained Glass Paint and Pactra Florescent Orange RC Car Paint.

                Did you coat it twice, once with the yellow and then with the orange?

                  10-12 coats of Krylon Yellow, then 2-3 EXTREMELY light coats of the Pactra Orange at a distance of about 18-24in....just mist it on, always checking between every coat against your control color.

                  Then another 5-10 coats of krylon yellow until the desired gloss and darkness is achieved. If you don't want it glossy, bake it in the oven for a matte effect.
