Spraying lenses??

[Buddy69]

Not forking out over 30quid for tinted indicator lenses for my k5!! Looked in the boyracer thing in halfords and they got sprays there to do the job.

So anyone sprayed theres or know of anyone??

Any info and tips would be great.cheers

Btw,never sprayed anything before but hopefully can't cock up some lenses!!....or can i??

yes you can cock it up, there is a how to on painting with rattle cans, ive done the rear lights on my escort a long time ago, took me a couple of attempts as the paint is really pissy, you need to keep it warm too so might be an inside job, get a big box and cut one side out to make a mini painting booth, clean the bejesus out of them and apply in very thin coats putting loads of thin coats rather than one or two big coats, till you get them the colour/shade you want then leave them for ages, dont even look at them or they will still run! did i mention that the paint is really pissy? check to see how long you need to leave them between coats then add about 10 mins.

as an alternative if your bike has the clear indicator lenses with orange bulbs you can get 'chrome' bulbs which hide the orange completely. worth a look if you wanted an alternative..

whilst your in halfords make sure to pick up some blue anodised screen trim and tax disc holder, oh and an assortment of blue and purple nuts and bolts as well. happy chavving
