That looks like ****. Use Tamiya clear orange in a can for amber corners and Krylon yellow stained glass for fogs. Been doing it for like 7 years.

the only hard part was cleanin the surface, and that didnt really take very long.
and i just used a corner light bc it was the first thing i grabbed.

I did this with my fogs a couple of years ago. Seems like you have to re do it every six months or so. Still looks really good though.

Yellow corners? Bleh.
Painting fogs? Best to bake them apart and paint the reflectors..
