Tried to amber my corners...

[vinbon63]

Hey everyone, yesterday i tried to amber my corner lights, but once i finished one of them i realized i must have used a terrible type of paint. So i removed it all with paint remover. Now today i luckily saw thats someone ambered with krylon stained glass orange, and it looked pretty nice, but my question is, how close will that amber colour look to the amber of my 92 bumper signal lights? Sorry for writing such a long novel for u all to read but i would really appreciate your help. Thank you!

it depends on how many coats you use on it

ok, from my personal experience with Krylon stained glass orange.... it's more gold than orange.

And putting on multiple coats gives it a hazy opaque look.

I dunno what else to use, I want my shit looking amber.... not gold.

go to a hobby store and they have orange paint and when you paint your corners spray 2-3 coats of it no need for a clear coat it doesnt come off and It matches the bumper lights

Thanks for the feedback everyone. Ya I defiantely dont want my corners to look more gold than amber. HondaGuy1212, i really like how the corners look on your car, so i think im gonna give what u said a try! Quick question though, is the orange paint a particular type, or just any orange from a hobby store should do? Thanks!

Just buy the amber corners! 30 bucks or less depending where you buy them!

compared to less than $10 for paint for the same look.

I used excel paint from walmart. mine came out dark cause I used 4-5 coats of paint. my buddy used my paint to do his and used 2 coats, came out very close in color to the bumper lights.

lol i used anodized amber spray paint.. i did my bumper lense, turned out great.. i beleive i did 2 coats, but yeah just do coat by coat and if u want darker then of course add more =P
