very nice... look forward to doing the same

 

Those came out great man!!! I hope when I do mine the look that good!

 

good job man!

 

I went to a couple stores looking for the paint. Where did you guys get your paint at?? Checked wal mart and all the hobby stores. Most people didn't know what I was talking about?

 

sorry for the late response but i went to every store in my town with anything related to paint, wasted SO MUCH GAS and still found nothing!!! so i went online and 30 seconds of searching found it and ordered it here is the link GL with the project

if you do get it i recommend spraying two coats and then while its still sticky throw some clear on it!!! i did 3 coats of clear, i think i stated in my first post. and let it sit for around 12 hrs since i had no paint booth to do it in, left it in my friends dads truck LOL

 

woo hoo, I can post now!! Looks good.

 

oh and the clear we used was from Sherwin Williams Auto refinishing. I like the clear they have because it has less of a "yellowish" tint to it....it is actually pretty clear.

I used to be a journeyman painter and I have seen/used clears from Sikkens, PPG, Dupont, Restorers Chioce, and others...like I said Sherwin Williams seemed to be the most "clear"...and is overall painter friendly. The GST "L" is painted with the same brand of paint.

 

great job dude

 

Really nice job dude that looks awesome. Waaay better

 

I agree with the last pic

 

nice

 

looks sick. i'm deff gonna do it!

 

Interesting. Ones there is more in stock, Ill order some.

How many cans did you need for the 2 lights?

And

So would it be better to have a shop clear them?

 

it was only one can and it was almost empty after the two coats

as for clear, i recommend painting the lights then laying the clear on once its slightly sticky to get a better bond on the paint, a short amount of time u got to get cleared by a pro, unless u do it at there shop and then have him step in after ur done in the booth lol

 

What do the reverse lights look like now in day or night? (when illuminated) I guess it seems strange to me to paint red tint over what should be a clear 'white' light. I'm considering doing this as well.. but would like to see a picture from behind the car when in reverse, maybe with brake lights on as well, as a comparison. If you can/would do that, I'd GREATLY appreciate it!
