zoopete Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 I uesd that stuff alot of times it works good just make sure it is clean and you do not put it on to thick. After the lights are dry I mix up clear and use my paint gun. I dont recomend useing spray bomb clear it never last. Oh ya 2 cans till be plenty laters Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zoopete Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 you mack them as dark as you want to the more cotes you put on the darker they get. I would leave them a lone for at least a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted February 2, 2006 Report Share Posted February 2, 2006 thats the stuff i use. one can should be good for 4 lights and one third, but youlll have to use it somewaht sparingly. i did two sets of lights but they didnt come out very dark( i like the lighter smoked tails imo) but still look great. i can really strongly encourage you dont use cheap clear . make sure you shoot it with a gun otherwise it wont last. i did my third light and it now looks dull as heck, im going to smoke a third led light this week to replace it.

Jonmalibuss Posted February 3, 2006 Report Share Posted February 3, 2006 sorry to say, but find a freind of pay some one to clear them. you will not be happy if you use a spray can <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I always use PPG clear after painting anything and put on atleast 3 good coats that way if anything happends to get in it while wet you will have more than enough to wetsand and buff out.
