Orange turn signals.

So I got bored over the weekend so I went out and bought some transparent paint and painted my turn signals and sidemarkers. The sidemarkers were orange already but a different shade, now they match. I sanded the turn signals with 300 grit first to get them really clear, it really makes a difference.

What do you think? I know the pics are dark but I have no flash on my camera.

damn, someone ripped me- I got a S5 vert and have nasty faded orange lenses.

I hate them.....

and I'm too cheap to actually go ahead and buy some new clears....

looks good- what kind of paint did you use?

I only ended up doing one side cause the paint didn't stick, they're polished... I need to sand them down and repaint them but haven't gotten around to it yet, I'll post pics when it's finished.

I used transparent orange paint that's made for plastic from a hobby shop.

i like the look of niteshade better, its easy to apply and can be ordered at most parts stores if its not in stock. but that doesnt look bad, be sure to put clear coat on top so it doesnt chip a lot



image fixed, sorry if its a little big
