First you need to have a pair of bumper lens'. You can use either the clear
ones or you orange ones. If you want to only put a light coat then you
have to purchase clear bumper lens' as well as amber bulbs. If you want it nice
and dark then it doesn't matter which ones you use. Once your set on that, all
you need to purchase is the lens paint. I bought mine from
Procarparts.com for
about $20 shipped. Its called something like "smoke tail lamp spray". It comes
in a small aerosol can. After the can arrives the actual job will take no
longer than 10 min but with drying it might take about 30-40min.
Steps:
Lay down a piece of cloth or tarp to prep for painting in a garage or an
area that is preferably not dusty and not windy.
Remove bumper lens' and wash the outer lens to ensure a clean surface.
Place the lens on the tarp keeping each part of the lens somewhat away
from each other
Begin to apply lens paint. Spray each lens evenly keeping the can about
1ft away from intended spray point.
*** If you want only a light coat then you have to spray in fairly fast
strokes to avoid uneven looks and darkening.
To make sure it is nice and dark take strokes at a leisure pace and go
over areas evenly about 2 times.
Let the lens dry until they are smooth to the touch.
*Side note: The paint already has clear coat in it so there is no need to add
it after it dries, it should come out just as glossy as you paint.
Optional:
If you still feel it is not dark enough repeat steps 4,5,6 until desired
looks is
attained. Make sure to allow lens to dry between steps.
