    Transparent Orange Paint?

    I was reading some car mag and the accord in their hand its front turn signals painted orange.
    So I went to the hobby store, and a few other places but cant find any transparent orange paint.
    Does anyone know where I can buy some?
    (btw the way the signals were transparent orange like the jdm ones they make for other cars but not ours)

    I haven't been able to find any yet, but I hear Michael's craft store has it all. I'm gonna go there soon.

    I have the 89 LXI-the 86-87 wont fit and they dont look as cool as the turn signals that were painted.

    Well this is an interesting thread. Most 86-87 owers want the clears and you want to go back to orange. If you really want the orange turns signals you can swap out and 86-87 bumper you just need to use the bumper mounts from the car you pull it off of.

    you don't need bumper mounts. 86-87 and 88-89 are the same. they just look diff and they have diff turn signals.
    i did the bumper swap and i know what i am talking about.

    Use this link to see what I am talking about-I know the 94-97 accords came with stock orange turn signals. By the end of the year I am going get my car painted black with possibly a xenon body kit.

    The 86-87 bumber is shaped a little different- Where the fog lamp covers are at it is slanted more at a angle. Plus I dont like the small little rectangle turn signals on the 86-87.

    What I am about to say is gonna make some people say WTF-But IMO the only way clear front turn singals on our cars look good is if the side markers are also made clear (one member did that to his-I think it was a hatchback)

    I checked Michaels and they have the same stuff as Hobby Lobby so no luck there.
    After checking out cb7tuner.com - I found out some info-
    Tamiyra makes some clear orange spray paint. Now its time to call around to see who has it.

    Grr I can't find it anywhere... this is getting annoying. I guess I'll just buy dupli-color transparent candy apple paint... that's all I can find. I haven't seen transparent orange anywhere.
