I know theres already a teg tip on the bumper lights but i figured id add some photos since there arent any in the teg tips. I sanded using 140, 400, 600, 800 and 1500 grit and used the turtle wax as stated, but used a diferent enamel ( pictured ) The teg tips are straight forward, but the only thing i can add besided photos is make sure to let the first coat dry before applying the seccond, as well as USE TWO COATS! the first will only leave the light looking yellowish. Took be about 2 hours total including drying time. Heres the photos. Hope you like them. I definatley like the new look it gave my front end

1 more Q. do you nedd to use teh rubbing compound, what happenes if you pait with out useing the rubbing compound

The guy at the hobby store said the color was a metalic orange. And id go ahead and spend the 4 bucks for the 2 rubing compounds. it removes the scratches and gets the surface ready for paint. The sanding also removes alot of the road grime

I have brand new bumper lights that have never been on a car, they are perfectly clean and smooth, do I still need to sand them?

I can’t find any paint that will work. I’ve looked and called everywhere that I thought might have it and I’ve found nothing.

Would someone be willing to send me their unused portion or buy a new can of it…and then send it to me? I’ll obviouslly pay for the paint and shipping. Can anyone help me out?
