The paint is called Metal Specks, by Duplicolor.

I used an adhesion promoter first, then sprayed 4 coats of the Metal Specks.

Hmmm....I should do a blue and silver one. :lalala:

Can we get that brand anywhere??

[FrankenScion]

Something like that but maybe blue.

They have it in Blue. You'll need the adhesion promoter given it's plastic you're painting. I got all my stuff at AutoZone.

Next: Clear corners and chrom turn indicator bulbs. :up: I dig the yellow fog lights, but it just doesn't look right with the amber right above it.

Smoked fogs and headlights would look really good since you got the BSP grill!

[stick_ncp31]

buy a yellow bulb for your turns and you're set. nice 'B.

Ooh, good thinking Ned! Still oughta clear the amber reflector out. Here's my stock headlights with yellow bulbs:
(blacked out too, though)

But that color bulb would look really good with your yellow fog lights!

I have amber LED's as the turn signals (for which I still need resistors for), I'm just afraid to clear the corners. I'll need to buy some more sealant for after I take them out right? What kind of sealant?

[aalbertson3]

Looks Awesome :up:

[whatmovesu]

[JDMBox05]

[JayDizzle]

Amber LEDs would be hot cause they are clear when not lit, right? Don't be scared, clear corners are easy. Just get some silicone from AutoZone. I did black cause I blacked mine out, but clear would probably by better for you. Heat up your housing, 1 at a time at 250 degress for 5-7 minutes. Take it out and pry off the clear cover, if it's giving you too much trouble, put it back in for a bit. Just make sure the housing isn't getting soft. If you have a heat gun, that's better to use. I got it warm enough that the sealant stretched, then cut it with a razorblade once there was a gap between the cover and the housing. While it's still warm, or warm it back up, scrape out the factory sealant with a flat head or something. Remove the reflector and squirt the silicone into the groove for the sealant. Press them back together and you're good to go.

Jon, where the fuck's my tech section? I'm still half assin' it in everyone's posts. :guns:

No, no, no! Not all xAs are xgAYs, that was my nick-name for Roger's cause he's got a fuzzy pink headliner, pink and black vinyl, and a pink scikotics sticker with goodbye kitty on the sides.
