    Talking How to paint Fogs. & etc

    This is my lil rite up..
    i've got more than a coupe ppl askin
    how did i paint them. etc.. and so i decided to do a lil rite up:.
    I knoe it may seem simple but here it is anyways..



    items needed..
    - 1 can of yellow Krylon stained glass paint.
    frm (Michaels or Hobby Lobby)

    - some 3M scotch brite. (autoZone)

    - 1 can of chestnut stain glass paint.
    (Michaels or Hobby Lobby)

    - && of course the item you are gunna paint..














    - now lets begin..
    scotch brite the item using plenty of water, until the part is smooth..




    - then let dry.

    - and you get this..




    - now take the yellow paint, and start a light coat aroung the edges.. to get a darker trim.




    - after dry.. apply about two coats..

    - if more then that the paint will start to fog up!..




    - after that spary some clear.. and you good to go.




    - now for a amberish look..

    - spary a light coat or two around the edges with the
    chestnut...
    and you get this:.. .




    - then add some clearcoat after dry..



    enjoy ...

    I'm about to try and do mine the full orange color. More or less amber since they don't make them for my ride.

    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.
