hi im going to be hopefully spraying my indicators amber in 10hours, if i can get the supplies that is

i have 1200 gritt sand paper, going to lightly wet sand the indicators.
where can i get some orange/amber transparent spray paint? im in melbourne based in the the south east area. anyone know anywhere close? or even a certain shop like 'kmart' or supercheap i can pick it up? looked at the super cheap website they dont seem to have transparent spray paint.

im cheapo atm got lots more things to do before ill be happy with this import. its drivin me crazy that ive got clear indicators, i am really in love with amber. so a 15dollar job will have to do. as long as its beautiful from 3 meters away and when a photo is bein taken, going to tint the tail lights too hope i dont get pulled over for it but.

Careful with the tail lights, friend of mine got defected the other day for spraying his all red(including indicators) He had to order new ones to replace them.

Bunnings has some glass spray. I used those on my amber corners ages ago.

Toy's R Us has Tamiya transparent paint, works awesome i used some when i tinted my taillights, bit on the exy side ($12.99 for a small can) but you can probably do 3 pairs of indicators with it

done the painting. bunnings dont sell it anymore so luckily i went over to paintmobile down the road from bunnings and they mixed me a spray can of amber transparrent gloss :D
turned out as i hoped so, if not better, a MINOR drip ''first time using the spray can in Ages and it was windy so i had to get a little closer than 15cm''

heres my result :D couldnt be happier with the $15 dollar can.

at first somone told me to use 1200 gritt sand paper. but the guys there told me just to use a white scotch pad, and its worked :D no clear coat needed or anything

best 16.70 spent. (1.70 for the pad)

You've successfully made the car look like a base model.

nah man just paintmobile will do they are experts in automotive painting. not very friendly to each other came in the shop and one guy was like to a chubby guy ''mate u make me wanna f@#$en vomit, u want 400 dollars from me. if u sold ur boat and your cars n stop buying smokes you'd get through life easily. men buy things you need then toys''. very friendly n helpful to customers instead but haha
