    EXT: 1990/1991 Amber Bumper Lights.

    Materals
    1990/1991 Bumper lights of course
    Rubbing Alcohol
    Sandpaper/Steel Wool
    Transparent Orange Stained Glass. (Found at most arts and crafts stores)

    The same thing can be done on stock/clear corners!




    First start by taking out the lights and somewhere suitable for painting. Make sure its a Dry, warm, WELL VENTILATED, clean place that will yield desired results.
    The lights are Held in by one screw. For more info refer here.http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthre...ghlight=bumper

    First, Prep the surface buy cleaning it with rubbing alcohol. Then if you want lightly scuff the surface. (I did not and and fine results.), If you do scuff them be sure to clean them once more.


    Second, Begin loading on the layers. Do lots of little coats rather than less big coats.


    Keep spraying until the desired color is reached.


    Let dry for a few hours. Then install and bam. Your done

              I'd spray the inside if you want it to last longer

              the paint tends to fade and wear off.

                      Just did this today, about 4 hours ago I started and just waiting for them to dry. Also did this to an extra set of corner lenses I have so we'll see how that turns out.

                          i bought a can of that amber spray but i'm not sure how many layers i want to lay on.

                          i've got a burgendy exterior with a black bumper and fogs are equipped.
