Teal Posted up what Paint to get paint your stock usdm corners into Amber. I Didn't get the same paint but this is how I Painted my Corner lights, Figured I would post up a DIY.


List of Parts:
>- Tamiya ps-43 translucent orange Paint
>- Steel Wool
>- Corner Lights

1) Take off your Corner Lights
2) Clean off the Corner Lights Thoroughly, I only needed to Rub them off with a Rag.
3) Scrub with Steel Wool, This gives the paint area to stick to.
4) Paint, Use light Coats.
5) Install Lights after Dry

After:


Installed:

hey man great job on the DIY

thanks for sharing such useful information one thing i need to ask , i just bought the Tamiya TS73 paint too but how long do i need to wait for 1 coat to dry - if my 1 coat is 2 passes from left to right and right to left.

please advice

Adding clear coat would be a good idea. The super glossyness on my Delsol Corner lights are not as glossy anymore. Im sure If I used clear they would be. However the EG Sedan Corners are still glossy and mint looking with no clear.

I'll get a pic and post it up, perhaps tomorrow sometime, it's dark out now.
