This winter I'm hoping to completely re-vamp the RX-7, new-paint, rebuild, new leather for the seats, and lower the car with some BBS RS wheels. But, until I can afford it, I've been trying to do small things to the car. The other evening I decided to paint the fog lights yellow like the infini's were.

 

sikk

 

nicely done!

 

sick

what paint did you use?

 

Yellow fogs look tight.
So did only infinis have yellow fogs?? i have yellow fogs

 

infini's were not the only fc to come out with yellow fog lights.

 

that looks really nice.

 

never been a fan of yellow fogs but that looks tight man nice job! im in the same boat right now im cleaning up my engine pay, painting some engine parts, cleaning, etc. also wanting to get painted this winter so i know what youre going through. good luck man!

 

i never was really a fan either until a buddy shot his 07 ms3 fogs with translucent **** from a hobby shop. It looks really good, so do your lights.

just laminx em..looks good but i like the ability to easily remove the color to go back white sometimes

 

i think it just looks out of place on some cars.

on my civic i painted the lights yellow, but on my fc i used yellow bulbs.

but yellow foglights at night time regardless of method, ftw.

 

Yellow fogs look great.

 

i believe the S5 Infini's were the only ones that came with yellow foglights.

otherwise, the ones in japan just had a yellow bulb, like mine.

 

yeah bro what did you use... i have no luck finding anything with yellow transparent paint?

 

krylon has a "stained glass" rattle can paint that ive use to paint fogs. also good for paint bulbs.

 

^really, i have looked everywhere here locally, every paint shop and hardware store? no luck? did you buy it online?

looks good.

 

very nice. good job!

 

nice... how many coats should be placed on the fog lamp??? i am guessing now to much. one bottle should be enough right?

 

i got mine from a hardware store. its not a home-depot though, more like a local independent shop. usually you will only need like one solid coat or two thin coats. on a couple occasions of even thrown a thin coat of clear just to help protect it and keep it shiny.

its also useful for things like when i had to get new turn signal bulbs, but they only had clear ones. took them home, threw a coat of orange on, put them on the car and they looked like factory.

 

hmm interesting, bulbs didnt blow out due to the paint? crazy haha... trying a hobby shop next tomorrow? see what i find...

 

never burnt a bulb ive painted yet.

although i did buy some ebay yellow fog light bulbs and one burnt out after like 3 months....

 

Look's dope. Funny, you mentioned BBS RS's.....Im running those same wheels right now. Check my sig....lol.

Ok so, TAMIYA polycarbonate hobby shop paint should give the same effect/appearance as DJ Merle's FC fog lights???

 

thats what i am hearing??? i know on another thread (i think its Micah's build up thread) someone posted a pic of them using Tamiya Color Paint, to paint their fogs... i'm tryin it out... if it doesnt work, just wet sand it down find something else???
