B14 Crystal Amber corners
this is my attempt for making a b14 crystal amber corners

since this is my first attempt and not the final man it takes a mistake to learn how to spray properly

but anyways here the pix.. i made the mistake of doing it outside when it bit windy and dirty

i more or likely gonna have to wet sand it or something and re-do it and clear it or something.

anyways on with the pictures

this is my first try with overspraying alot.



and close up shot



it looks terrible and way darker than i wanted it to be.

here is my the other side



and a close up shot



i think the 2nd corner looked alot better but i think i still need to sand it down or something.

give me some input and some help to make these better.

and i shoulda got some masking tape or something around the edges

Practice makes perfect. Maybe seperate the lens' from the housings and spray several light even coats on the inside while letting each coat thoroughly dry before applying the next coat. Definitely spray them in a calm, dustless, dry area and maybe heat the can of paint in some warm water.

Just some suggestions. They don't look to bad though. Probably can't really tell from a distance. I'm sure someone would buy them if the price is right.

Use Krylon Stained Glass.

Separate the housing, and paint from the inside using very light coats until desired darkness is achieved.
