    i was doing it in my garage so i didnt have to worry about wind or anything, but it would turn all friggin blotchy! i remember it'll do this in humid air. in the summer during a hot day was great for painting, even with high humidity, but its been all soggy here so there's no getting away from the wet. and shit, its supposed to rain all week. and that about a bitch! i threw on my original corners until i get the clear ones smoked. also, my corners where there looks like a seem between the running light lense and the blinker light lense has a crack. now on both of them. i wonder how that occured, i did drop them a few times, but i thought only one of them. anyway, with tint on them it wont be noticeable, it wasnt when i had tint on them. but i wipped it off because it was all blotchy. damn, i need a paint booth.

    well you can do it in the garage, just make sure there's some ventilation. me tinks the most important factor that affects the painting is the can of paint, just make sure the can is heated up pretty good, you'd get even layers, no blotches. i have this really hot plug in bright light thing that helps alot when painting indoors, it dries the paint pretty well.

    here's the bumper lights i did. they came out ok. i tried again yesterday for the eyelids and clear corners, but they came out shitty. i'm going to order some VHT niteshades like i should have done 1st off. i think i'll get it from Jegs because all the parts stores here in town said they arent able to order that, which i know is BS!
