Fog Lights Painted

I decided to make my foglights the color foglights are suppose to be.
Alot of people use this stuff. I just went to my local craft store (Michaels) and found it. Shouldn't be hard to find at other stores. Usually with the stain glass window stuff.
It works really good. Its a half hour job.
Enjoy!!!

I live in the Greater Vancouver area here on the west coast.
You would most likely find it at any craft store. Canadian Tire wouldn't have anything like this. Its the stuff people use for painting stained glass. Make sure you get the transparent stuff because some stuff turns all cloudy.
Hope that helps

you can do it either way. taking off the bumper and removing the foglights so you can paint them is more more, but it will turn out great. You can really get it to look clean. But if you don't want to go through all that work, you can just tape off the inside and paint what you can see.

While I was at the store I just got a good quality paint brush and went at it. Didn't take the bumper off or tape them. The paint can be rubbed off with your finger when its fresh, a little harder when its been on for a while. It's a gel which can be taken off whenever you want with a little bit of peeling. I've heard that if you spray them, then it doesn't come off. I'll let you know if it starts peeling on its own.

Nice DIY

When I bought my RA one of my fog lights was broken and I actually bought replacements and I still haven't put them in lol...this might be something to do when I finally do it
