CT used to have it, but apparently they dont anymore...Cynikal Mindset, should have some info on the equivalents to it...

I have a can of the Krylon Red, never even used it...you can have it, but youd have to come pick it up..:p

I'm in Hamilton

The crown stained glass paint worked amazing. 4 coats of paint, wet sand with 2000 grit sandpaper, then 2 coats of clear. AMAZING RESULT

I just used a few coats of krylon stained glass paint and couple coats of clear for mine and it turned out pretty good. Though this crown stuff from walmart you guys are talking about sounds interesteing, I may just have to pick some up, do they sell it in amber?

civicnation 05-Sep-2004 02:26 PM

not sure, i just went straight for the red, but i do know there are many colours available

Anyone know where you can get Krylon Rust Tough Industrial flat black paint? They have it in the US but I haven't seen it at Crappy Tire or Home Depot here.

I wanted to paint the amber part of my tail lights white (95 civic), so it would have the red/clear look... does anyone know what kind of paint i need?

shlammed 07-Sep-2004 11:24 PM

You can find really good transparent candy apple red at car model hobby shops. Theres one on dundas near dixie i think it was...used their stuff to paint my tails and hasn't faded in 1.5 years.

j_limitz 08-Sep-2004 09:18 PM

michaels art store is @ heartland...so that would be mavis/britannia

do you just spray over the amber or you have to get rid of it?
