Hella Supertone Wrinkle Black Conversion (Pic Heavy)

I know I'm not the only one that dislikes the glossy red that the hellas have.
With this said, I decided to alter mine just a little...
Hopefully, I'll be posting installed pictures soon!
Starting off:


Slight sanding:


The paint that made it happen:


My makeshift paint box applying first coat:


Kinda ugly after first coat:


Finished product (back, just to show no red)


Finished result after a few coats:

Small picture:


Big picture (Its in the detail ):

The black looks pretty good, I just think red looks better.. to each his own.

Well I don't have a pic but I can describe easily.

You have the stock horn location behind the power steering cooling line on the passenger side. Remove that horn and use that mounting location (and bolt) to mount the first horn. The mounting metal on the back of the horn will be at about 10:30 or 11.

On the right hand side you have a hole, but no mounting metal for a horn. Hear I took a piece of cheap 1/8" perf steel (comes in 1' sections at Lowes for a couple dollars. I folded it into a "U" that is about 1.5x1.5x1.5" and cut off the rest. Mount this to resemble the stock horn mount. Your drivers side horn will mount with the metal on the back at about 1 or 1:30.

ASCII Diagram: lines are the mounts on the back of the horn, circles are the horns:
Code:
\                 /
  o            o
