Amber corners

What'd you use to paint?! What kind of paint....Where'd you get it?! How exactly did you do it. Let us all know. Share the wealth of knowledge!!!! 
BTW......56K beware, big pics!! Maybe I jsut have a slow-ass comp!!!!!
1st one....there was a glare...hard to see....maybe if you started it from a clear corner instead of one that's already amber. THen it'll be one smooth color...just a suggestion
2nd one...Looked good. how about a pic to see the whole thing.
3rd one....Looked Excellent!!!!

I used this for the paint. .michaels
orange and red. first I'd like to add that all of those are factory lights. yes it would look better to start off with clears.
How to do step by step:
1st order paint from michaels gonna cost right at 25 bucks.
2nd remove stock lights
3rd wet sand with 400 grit sandpaper.
4th rinse off and let dry
5th tape off the outsides
6th Spray a REALLY REALLY light coat of the paint.
7th wait 15 minutes and do another light coat. the 1st pic CRX was 2 coats of orange and then fogged about 12 inches from the light for even coverge. I then fogged the light with a mist of red.
the 2nd light Accord was 2 coats orange and 1 coat red.
The 3rd the EG light was 5 coats orange.
I liked the EG the best but I redid All my lights on the CRX and Accord. All ambers.
Thanks for the praise
