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?

here is the link GL with the projecthttp://www.createforless.com/Krylon+...3-841c30eeb902
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

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.

How many cans did you need for the 2 lights?

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!
